The room was well appointed. The front desk staff at check in were great. Breakfast was very nice but not good for vegans. The room and overall atmosphere of the hotels was not really someplace I’d stay with kids. The room has a tinted window into the bathroom. When the room lights are off and the bathroom lights are on there is no privacy. The lobby is very lively with the restaurant and a bar. It’s a fun atmosphere for adults. Also was walking distance to the center of the old town. Also I had emailed a couple of times before the stay and they responded quickly which was helpful.

The Hotel is extremely well situated right in front of the tramway so it’s really easy to access. The staff I encountered were welcoming, friendly and very helpful whenever I needed to drop by baggage before and after my stay. A special thanks to the lovely lady with Ghanaian roots who recognised my Ewe’s name! It warmed my soul because it’s been ages since anyone had called me by that name out loud. It’s a nice feeling when travelling. The room was actually clean and not just on a surface level (little to no dust on the furniture). The garden view with a balcony was a nice touch to a spacious room. The breakfast offered lots of options, but I wish the vegan options were more visible and present: for example the selection for plant-based drinks was thin in number and liquid quantity and I had to ask for it because they were placed in an area not easily visible from afar. Overall, for my first solo trip in Switzerland 👌

The hotel is just fine but unfortunately i had the smoked salmon yesterday morning. I only took one bite because it did not taste right. I got violent food poisoning and was vomiting throughout the entire 8 hour flight back to New York City. Perhaps one of the worst days of my life.

Beautiful hotel, great location, staff is excellent and the restaurant is terrific. My only wish... I wish there were ironing boards in rooms after traveling to prepare for the business meetings.

Room was to small and no daylight inside. It was a room with no view but also no daylight. For this price really a bad room. Ibis has better rooms. Also promised a room upgrade twice, but in the end no room upgrade available. But with a fee og 30Sf a day we can have a roomupgrade. So ALL Accor satus is not applicable here.
