Hotel kept clean, did not have a Matterhorn view I was in the back side but still a great view of the lower city. Room nice and comfy with a warm down blanket. It's nice to plopen the window at night and catch the cool Alpine breeze. You can faintly hear the river below and you fall fast asleep.

Staff were warm and friendly especially the bartenders whose names I can’t remember. There was this one guy who was courteous to point out a few hotspots nearby which made my overnight stay better. Thank you ;) I enjoyed the ambiance, heated towel racks and warm bathroom floor. It was short stay but good place to stay. I would visit again and recommend to others.
