Our room was great, with a beautiful balcony overlooking the city. We chose this location due to the proximity of the train station and the available self service laundry. The desk does not provide coins, so be sure the have some with you. I think it was 4chf for washer and about the same for the dryer. Breakfast was not included and seemed expensive even for Switzerland, we walked a block to a lovely coffee shop.

Modern but too warm...

Crazy high room temperature (416). The A/C set to minimum did not change anything. For that reason, did not have the best nights' sleep. Otherwise a nice modern budget hotel choice.

The hotel is a short walk from the train station. However, to get to the hotel you have to walk up a steep hill. If we had known this we would have gotten a taxi. The lobby was very nice. It is contemporary with a lot of Freddy Mercury photos. Check in was easy although the girl did not understand much English. Then the room...we were shocked when we walked into the room. My first thought was "this is just a step up from a hostel." It is bare bones. Two twin beds, one little lamp, no dresser or closet and one outlet. (There was another outlet under the counter but I didn't feel like crawling under.) There isn't an outlet in the bathroom so to dry your hair you do it sitting on the bed. But there is no mirror in the bedroom. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable but it certainly was not what we were expecting!

Ok but not great

The room was quite good. Cleaning was not very good. Towels weren’t replaced. Shower drain blocked due to hair in it. Kettle leaked but was replaced when requested. Had to request toilet paper after 2 days as it wasn’t replaced. Overall ok but cleanliness left a bit to be desired.
