Nostalgic visit
This is one of the cleanest hotels that we have ever stayed in. Staff very friendly, breakfast was very nice with plenty of choice. We just had to ask for extra pillows as we only had one each.

Decent value but would not stay again
The people at the reception were cold and borderline rude (typical German/swiss). The room did not look anything like the online pictures when we made our reservation. The bathrooms are tiny, and if you have a 3rd person in your room, they are better off getting their own room as our room had a pull out sofa which was hard and uncomfortable.

Great location! Hotel is right near HB station and walkable to shops and restaurants. Staff was very friendly. There is a Starbucks right next door as well. Our hotel package also came with breakfast which was descent. My only issue was that the rooms were really small. The double bed took much of the space. My husband and I both had a luggage so was difficult to move around the room.

Very close to train station. The front desk was very helpful as well.
Very basic room. Felt more like a hostel than a hotel, but it was good overall.
The only really negative was that there was no coffee or fridge in the room. It was out in the hallway and that too the coffee machine was not working in the hallway.
Overall though it was a good and decent place.
