"The hotel is very conveniently located, just over a 10-minute walk downhill from the train station. The front desk provides a complimentary one-day public transport pass, allowing guests to take the cable car back up to the hotel from the train station for free – incredibly convenient! The rooms were basic but spotless. The front desk staff spoke excellent English, which was a huge relief and made communication effortless. The breakfast, in particular, was outstanding – incredibly diverse with a wide selection of cheeses and salami. In famously expensive Switzerland, such a satisfying breakfast felt like a real treat. We were traveling to Geneva, and found the hotel's location ideal for onward travel. The hotel is accessed via a cable car, its lower station conveniently located directly opposite the train station. From the station, frequent buses (every 10 minutes) go to Fribourg (a 40-minute ride), where numerous trains connect to Geneva, making the total journey approximately 1.5 hours. At first, I found the price (over 2000 a night) steep for what I perceived as a hostel, feeling I could stay at a luxury hotel like a W for that money. However, after my stay, I found it to be exceptionally good. Crucially, the staff at the front desk and in the restaurant were incredibly attentive, friendly, and went out of their way to answer all our questions."
