Beautiful property and the access to the adjacent fitness center was a wonderful perk. It lacked a little in convenience but a 10 minute or less walk to the train station was really no big deal. My kids especially liked the family suite setup that gave them separate twin beds.

Banana city the hotel was spotless staff were faultless breakfast was good .I upgraded to a suite which was very nice and a big room with air conditioning .It States minibar and bottle water .The mini bar is just a small fridge not stocked up with anything just an empty fridge which is misleading that needs to be changed and when I asked for bottle water I was told you only get it on your first day which is also misleading.The tap water you can drink plus there loads of water fountain around every where you visit which are safe to drink.Train travel is great not cheep but you can buy 50% tickets or unlimited tickets you have to decide what best for you .Make sure you have a valid ticket there are ticket collectors everywhere and if you not got a ticket no excuses they charge you chf 90 plus price of ticket ouch . Went to see Wales play in euros had a great time
