Convenient stay, River View Room

The hotel is close to the train station. It made access to the city very easy. Public transport and walking were accessible. The staff was helpful. I especially appreciated the early check-in.
The room had fake a/c buttons. It was very hot during the day. The provided fan did not fully alleviate the heat. The air conditioning should be functional, not just decorative.

The front desk provided concierge services. The staff checked us in early. Opting out of room cleaning gave me a 10 Franc credit. It was a nice initiative for environmental reasons.

Simon Himmelstoss was helpful I am grateful for his assistance with local information. Luca checked us in early I appreciated that. I liked the option to decline room cleaning to support environmental efforts.
One electrical outlet was loose this felt unsafe plus charging stations existed only on one side of the bed.
