charming hotel with excellent amenities

spacious roomgood bathroomkind serviceextra charge
i liked the spacious rooms, the bathroom was good too! the balcony offered nice views! i appreciate the early check in and kind service i received.
The deep garage was inconvenient and it added an extra charge of chf 40 daily. They did not emphasize this. the faucet in the room was not properly fixed. I found the cabinet door hard to close.
Dining
9/10
the breakfast buffet offered a good variety with gluten-free options such as cakes and bread, which i appreciate. the breakfast area had a pleasant atmosphere, though the content was pretty average overall.
Service
10/10
the staff was helpful and proactive, they really went the extra mile to accommodate requests! i was actually surprised when they left a bottle of wine, because they knew it was my birthday weekend.
