The facilities were great, offering a communal space to share with friends and a lovely view. The only downside was the parking situation, as they offer parking at the hotel but then ask you to find public parking around the hotel.

My stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. The room, though a bit noisy due to its location near the stairs, had a chaise chair but felt less comfortable compared to other stays in Switzerland. The price was on the higher side for what was offered, and being under the roof added a unique touch to the room.
