Small and familiar hotel. The hotel staff is really nice and welcoming. The garden, the pool and the breakfast with freshly made products were the best part.

Everything. Our hosts went out of their way to be welcoming, friendly and to cater for our needs as travellers. They took their time to carefully explain everything we needed to know about the accomodation and tips for the town including maps. They always greeted us with warmth. The location was excellent in the old town and close to everything without being too busy.

The location was fabulous! Close to train station, right on the water. Also close to the furnicular and cable car to access hiking trails and the mountains. Very nice breakfast included and they even went out of their way to provide gluten free bread due to my companion's allergy.

Great location, and one of the few "budget" options in this area. There were many people checking in at the same time, but they were working really fast and making sure everyone gets their room as quick as possible. Great working team.
