We had a very pleasant stay. Great location - few blocks to Paradiso, ferry and beaches; also store and restaurants are around. Free outside parking, inside parking is 20Chf/day (which is also a good price for this location). Free electric car charger. Nice size swimming pool. Decent breakfast (wish they don’t charge extra for omelettes). Rooms & hotel itself is a bit old and you can see some signs of needed renovations but hotel is a historic building with its own charm. Good value for this price overall.
