Poor and below expectation.
Pros:

The location was good. The breakfast was OK. The room was clean.

Cons:

The value for money was really bad. For the money you pay per night you would expect a double bed. Especially, if you ask for it when you make the booking. In the end we did not get a response from the hotel in advance and there was no option to change it upon arrival. The staff was not friendly or empathetic. The two beds tend to slight away from one another, so this was not comfortable at all.

Pros:

Zimmer sauber ruhig u getäumig

Cons:

Zimmer waren absolut in Ordnung jedoch das Frühstück bei einem Nächtigungspreis v ca.287.- CHF eine Zumutung wir waren 5 Nächte immer das selbe Automatenkaffee billigste Fruchtsäfte aus der Plastikflasche kein Spiegelei. Schinken Salami u noch eine Wurstart vom billigsten Lediglich 3 Warme Gerichte Rührei ,Speck u kleine Bratwürste nicht einmal gab es etwas anderes keine Pasteten kein Lachs einfach eine Abzocke es war nichts wirklich schlecht aber f diesen Preis erwartet man sich mehr auch in der Preisklasse Schweiz nichts wirklich Landesübliches ausser einen Weichkäse in der Verpackung wenn man tee u kaffe wollte musste man sich eine Tasse v einem anderen Tisch holen. Ich war einen Tag krank konnte u wollte nicht raus durfte mir keine Apfelsaftschorle aufs Zimmer nehmen hat mir ein motivierter heranstürmender Servicemitarbeiter Lautstsrk vor allen anwesenden verwährt Wie gesagt Zimmer ruhig betten sehr bequem u sauber safe ist vorhanden nur leider sehr klein tablett passt nicht hinein
Das Hotel liegt such sehr nahe am Bahnhof u so ziemlich alle Sehenswürdivkeiten in der Oberstadt zu Fuß zu erreichen zum See mit der ebenfalls nahen Metro also Frühstück sehr Verbesserungswürdig ansonst Top

Very fair proposal in perfect location.
Pros:

Perfect location, very close to train station yet quiet (the rooms facing the courtyard), close to restaurants, cafes etc.
Very good value for money.
Transparent pricing policy for the breakfast (we did not try it) and nice option to have just a coffee and croissant instead of full breakfast at reasonable price.
Pleasant design and comfortable rooms.
