    Better lighting in the bedroom and perhaps a nice old armchair

    enjoyed breakfast. Not sure that coffee machine made the best coffee but adequate. the room is pleasant. The room was generally quiet except for morning traffic. One night there was noise from the floor above. Another night there was noise from the kitchen. Neither were a problem.

    If I had to pick something the bathroom was on the small side for the two of us, but not a big issue at all.

    It's such a cosy and lovely place ran by loving, caring and friendly people! Great Shower and warm room with afternoon sun and double glazed window. Gave us a kettle and mugs when we asked. I had the best Gluten free rolls specially prepared for me every morning. Nothing was too much trouble to ask - truly a gem...quiet and central in the lovely medieval town. We had two rooms of the whole floor which was very considered arrangement.

    When I arrived for a three night stay in a peaceful village and saw I was given a room on the third floor off the main road in extreme heat I thought I would pass out. I had been traveling for two days. The owner explained that the building can't be air conditioned. I was given a room.that was quiet after, but the staff and guests smoked constantly. The room was 8 square feet at the most. I very respectfully asked that the staff smoke elsewhere and was spoken to so rudely by the woman who had also served breakfast, telling me basically that I was in.a hotel, a space used by many people and if I didnt like it I should leave. THIS same woman came to my room at checkout time, five minutes after 11 AM to inform me that the hotel was full andd I needed to leave immediately. She was LYING, as the hotel showed availability both on booking.com and it's own website. I was shaking when. I left. I asked to see the owner. I told her how this woman had ruined my stay which had begun so badly in the first place. It was like she was intentionally nasty to make herself feel good. The owner didn't really seem like she cared. It's like you have a beautiful building but no real soul. My stay was ruined.

    Excellent breakfast. Comfortable bed and pillows. Lovely setting with courtyard. Chic restaurant on site. The stay was enhanced by three very kind staff members: Caroline, who saw who saw my distress at having a room on the third floor on an extremely noisy street and with extreme heat and no air conditionung. She changed it to a quiet room on a low floor. Elena in the restaurant t was welcoming. One of the housekeepers gave me extra pillows and she was smiling and cheerful.

    The room AC should be replaced by a regular fan, it's noisy and doesn't do much. There's no parking.

    Very friendly staff, gorgeous rooms, good food.

    Our room was on the noisy main road. Small village but so much traffic late at night on a Saturday. We found the price of almost 200chf a little expensive for a rather small room. But I guess that these were swiss prices...

    Very good breakfast. Nice and helpful staff. Nicely renovated hotel. The owner tried to find us a cooler room as our room was extremely hot due to 35degC outside on that day.

    My room was quite small, that is part of the concept so it didn’t bother me. The only real problem was that there is nowhere to put a large suitcase. Fortunately I had a queen bed, so as a solo traveler, I could share the bed with my suitcase. For me this was just an inconvenience, but could be a problem for a couple.

    It was very well located, and the staff there is REALLY great! They were so kind and accommodating during my stay. I had a wonderful time.
