"As a solo traveler, there are a few things i keep in mind when looking for my stay. These things are WiFi, AC, parking, and a good location. This hotel fulfilled all of those things. Such a great base if you're staying in Switzerland. I was able to take plenty of day trips from here. There's also a lot across the street where I felt extremely comfortable parking my car (for a fee but so worth it). The staff was also incredibly kind! Room was quaint, just what I needed to sleep. This place is right across the street from the train station which can be convenient if you're planning on taking the train. It can be a little noisy but nothing I couldn't sleep through. I loved my trip to Swiss and would def recommend this location!"

8/10 Good
"The room was very clean and the bed and pillows were good. I slept very well here. The breakfast was good, as long as you are not gluten free. Had to ask for bread which is ok I don’t mind that, but it was like it was a chore to be asked. When it says budget it is budget. It is like a lower class Travelodge for the British among the readers. There is no kettle or fridge in the room, I do think there is room for both. You get hot water from downstairs, but sometimes there were no cups. If you ask the staff they are not always very helpful or maybe I just asked the wrong ones. There was no milk or teabags or coffee to go with the hot water. There is a supermarket next door. It is a 15 minutes walk from the train station. The area is safe, female solo traveller. If you arrive before check in you have to pay 3CHF per bag, to leave your bag. There is no charge on leaving. There is a bus right outside the door so you can use your city pass for this, you get it free at check in. I do think some amenities could be added and some staff need some staff training in customer service."
