Very convenient self check in machine

They have a self check in machine that is very convenient. My room had all the basic necessities including my own toilet and shower, which I hear in some rooms, you have to share a communal shower and toilet. No air condition even though it was summer, although it was a little chilly when I stayed so it was a non issue. About a 10 minute walk away from the central station. Very friendly staff when it’s finally time to check out

Convenient and reasonable but limited office hours

Clean, accessible from market square. Breakfast is good. I missed the notification from the hotel telling the office closes at 20:00 and need pass code to check in. I was confused at the lobby where I could not find anyone to respond in checking in the night time. The staff on the phone kindly assisted me for automated check-in from remote. Kind enough but needs some improvement.

Great location and comfort

Efficient and quick check in. Very large room and bed. Great location but downside is huge road opening and constriction outside; taxis cannot get to this hotel. Large bed and shower section (separated but door-less. Nespresso coffee machine and 3 capsules at hand in room. Restaurant is good at ok prices. Great decoration and as a guest you get a 10% discount.

Bedienung beim Frühstück sehr freundlich und damit aber auch leider das einzig Positive. Hatte keine grossen Erwartungen für diesen Preis und dennoch wurden sie noch unterboten. Einrichtung uralt, Matraze ähnelte einer Luftmatraze, kein Ganzkörperspiegel, Fernseher neben dem Bett in der Grösse eines Laptopscreens und geschätzt 20 Jahre alt. Man hätte ihn an einem Halter etwas richtig Bett drehen können, aber dann wäre einem der ganze Staub entgegen geflogen. Bettlaken zwar sauber, aber abgewanzt, kleine Löchlein und dort wo die Personen liegen so abgenutzt, dass man das an der Fuselbildung sah und spührte. Nachts kalt, zusätzliche Decke war nicht angezogen und voller Flecken. Kein Haarföhn im Zimmer, musste man am Empfang holen. Ausserdem sehr ringehörig und es hat ein Pub mit Karaoke im Erdgeschoss. Da kann man zumindest im 3. OG noch alles hören. Overall sehr ungemütlich und lieber 20-40 CHF mehr ausgeben für ein zeitgemässes Hotel...
