    We had an enjoyable stay in this cozy hotel. The room was small yet comfortable and impeccably clean. The hotel's prime location in the heart of the town made it easy for us to explore the city on foot. We were close to many restaurants and shops, and a wooden bridge over the lake was just a short walk away. The breakfast was tasty, with fresh local ingredients, and the friendly staff provided us with great service.

    Hard to think of anything.

    We had a lovely stay at a quaint hotel in a charming small town. the hotel was located in the main square and close to the train station. the staff were friendly and accommodating, even providing a picnic lunch for us on the day we checked out. the clock tower nearby chimed every 15 minutes during the night, which was a bit disruptive to our sleep. the room was comfortable and the breakfast was tasty. We especially enjoyed the quirky contemporary decor and exceptional food at the hotel's restaurant.

    The noise from the clock tower at night could be a bit bothersome for light sleepers.

    This hotel is perfectly situated right on the main square of a charming little town, surrounded by restaurants and shops. The location is absolutely ideal for exploring the old part of the town and there are plenty of interesting things to see. The staff at this hotel are incredibly friendly and helpful, always making sure you have everything you need. The rooms are basic but comfortable, and I appreciated the small fan in my room to keep cool during the warmer weather. Breakfast was included and I have to say, the bread they served was absolutely delicious!

    All in all, everything was fine and there's very little that could be improved.

    This hotel is an absolute gem! the location is outstanding. Situated right on the main square of a charming small town, it offers beautiful views and a convenient setting. Additionally, the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making me feel welcomed throughout my stay. The rooms themselves are basic but tastefully furnished, providing a comfortable and relaxing environment. I particularly appreciated the small fan in the room, which was a thoughtful touch during the hot Swiss summer. Lastly, the breakfast included some incredibly delicious bread that added to the overall delightful experience.

    All was excellent, nothing to improve.

    I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. the location is outstanding, right on the main square of a charming small town. It made exploring the area incredibly convenient. Secondly, the attention to detail was impressive. The rooms, although basic, were spacious and tastefully furnished. They even had a small fan to compensate for the heat, which was greatly appreciated. Lastly, the breakfast was delightful, with high quality ingredients and some incredibly delicious bread. the hotel provided great value for money and had all the basic amenities one could ask for.

    All was perfect, nothing to complain about.

    The restaurant was a hidden gem with a daily changing menu of Swiss cuisine at its best. Great taste and high-quality ingredients in breakfast. The hotel's proximity to the wooden bridge over the lake was perfect for our romantic strolls.

    The room was quite basic, and we didn't have a great view. A tad noisy as the room was facing the rubble deposit in the square in front of the hotel.

    The breakfast was tasty and included some local products. the location was great, right in the heart of the city and close to all the xmas markets. the bed was really comfortable and the room was clean.

    There was no soundproofing in the room. We couldn't sleep well due to loud noises outside and from neighboring rooms.
