Travelled with 2 elderly people and a baby. Stayed in a family room on 4th floor with Matterhorn view. Things we're happy about: - location: minutes away from the train station and town centre. They also provide free transfer up to 9pm - cleanliness: the room and bathroom were spotless. In fact, bathroom looked like it has just been refitted... More

Rooms look like they have been remodeled so they are not bad. Had all of the basic essentials. Only complaint was that many people in our group had difficulty using the shower. A small refrigerator with drinks is provided, but it did not cool well at all. Breakfast was average. Best part was location. Very close to shops and restaurants.

It is a good hotel with spacious rooms and excellent Wi- fi connectivity. The pool and spa are good but there was an awful smell in the lift lobby just outside the restaurant. The breakfast spread is limited with virtually nothing except bread and cornflakes for the vegetarians.The pick up and drop facility made it very convenient. The staff are... More
