    “I will say, the robes, the products by Le Labo, and spa, were the best part of the experience.”

  • Very luxorious, you do everything for a nice experience but it still is an old building.

    Nadine · family with children · 2026-09-08

    “What I did not realy like was the overall smell( old carpets, especially in the mezzanine corridor and old backgroud cigarette smell, as well as the smell of mold in the bathroom after a shower. I loved the luxory of marble, the wonderful smell of the soap, the feather pillows, the comfort of the matress was the best! Thanks!”

    “Staff were very pleasant and helpful. The room was large and clean. Breakfast selection was varied on all the 4 days. We forgot medication and another personal items and they happily sent them to our next destination. Thank you so much.”

  • Nachtlärm hängt von Zimmerauswahl ab

    5/10

    Remo · family with children · 2026-08-11

    “Die Zimmer, welche sich gegen die Zuggleise ausrichten, haben den Grossteil der Nacht signifikante Lärmemissionem, weil die Fenster schlecht isoliert sind und die Güterzüge die ganze Nacht fahren. Das ist nicht OK, dass diese Zimmer gleich viel kosten und der Kunde nicht darauf hingewiesen wird”
