Breakfast very basic ##### peter Stayed 11 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kevin 24 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Easy walk from the train station to the hotel. Take the funicular down from the train station and the hotel is immediately on the right. Right in the middle of old town so it was a good location. A decent hotel for the price. The room was small, but definitely adequate for our needs. Staff was super helpful and the breakfast good. The only negative was the sheets were not soft and a bit scratchy. ##### Kevin Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura 8 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities This hotel is next to the furnicular that goes to the train station and also a very easy walk to the lake and shopping.
