The place is conveniently located near the train station as well as the funicular to go to the lake promenade. They are between 5 to 10 minutes walk from the hotel respectively. Daniel was very prompt in responding with whatever we need figured out in the room besides being nice and helpful. Thank you, Daniel; you made our stay wonderful!

The hotel is lovely. We had 2 rooms booked and paid the same for both. 1 had a deck, a safe, a fridge and a closet. The other had none of those things. We felt a little overcharged for one room. Daniel at the front desk was very helpful with maps and gave is a discount card for some train and bus rides. All very enjoyable.

The owner and staff were gracious and capable. We arrived under stressful circumstances, having to find a different place late in the day. Daniel, at the front desk, waited after his shift to check us in. The room was spotless and comfortable. Hermelina makes a wonderful cafe latte. The only negative is that the breakfast is sparse—cereal, bread, croissants, yogurt, but no eggs.

Clean and Quiet

Good, quiet and clean. It’s a utilitarian sort of hotel perfect for a short stay on a budget. It is a little confusing to find but once you know where you’re going it’s easy to locate and close to downtown on foot.

Loved the location of this hotel! So easy to jump off the train and make a short walk there, with very clear signs guiding the way. (If you cannot carry your luggage up stairs, don’t use it as there are a lot and no elevator.) Other than that, the manager was wonderful, the room great, And the convenience of getting to the train and the Funicular to the lovely downtown makes it a great stay!

Close the old town.

Initially I was not too excited about the location. After staying I have changed my view. There is the public transit pass the hotel provides. It is very short distance and easy to walk to the train station. The old town is very walkable and interesting. The lake front is a nice walk. The breakfast was fine and the outside area very nice.
