Locating at a beautiful areas, with a views of river for both sides of the building. Convenient location for public transportation. Historically prestigious atmosphere, high ceiling, great bath room and tab design. Breakfast options are great. Each table had unique and distinct flower and pot. Beautiful chandelier in the breakfast room.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
This hotel is one of the old hotels of Switzerland. It is well located, looks impressive from the outside and the receptionist was friendly. Because of its location it has become an overnight stop for people from all over the world who are going to the 'honey pots' in the area. Clearly from the notices in my room there have been problems. Equally the hotel has descended in its offering to a rather 'don't care attitude'. Cleaners seemed to be rushed off their feet. I was nearly scalded by the hot water Lighting was poor, connections need checking. Bathroom mirror too high. Furnishings worn. Poor value for the price.

A grand old hotel that would have been stunning in its day. However, now it’s tired and poorly maintained - which is a real shame.

Great view but uncomfortable bed

The location is outstanding- I had a room with view over the river and the mountains. But the room was very dated and the bed was very uncomfortable (the mattress felt worn out). So all in all, I would not stay there again

Property looks nice from the outside but the rooms are old and not in the best shape. Definitely needs to be renovated.

It is right next to, or adjacent to the train station. The hotel is simply a little tired. Breakfast is included and is adequate though the, single burner, cook your own eggs station is a bit of a cluster.

The location was excellent, offering stunning views and a unique atmosphere. However, the property is quite outdated, though it appears they are undergoing significant renovations. The breakfast was distinctly European—featuring warm meats and a make-your-own-egg setup. I’d recommend sticking to the toast and croissants. Overall, it was a memorable experience in an incredible setting, though likely best suited for a one-time stay.

Train station access is great!

This hotel's strongest asset is it is super close and easy to get to and from the train station with a short walk. The room is small but comfortable. The view from the balcony was wonderful. Breakfast was great as well. This hotel just needs a little update and it would be even better. That being said, it was still and good experience!
