The hotel offers stunning views of the river Rhein from the spacious rooms with a small balcony, but the room size could be bigger. The service is friendly and helpful, with complimentary treats available. Its central location allows easy access to key museums and attractions. The dining area provides a local-style breakfast overlooking the river, though it may be a bit pricey. Overall, a great stay with some room for improvement in room size and dining value.

My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms had a distinctive Swiss streamlined style and were large and comfortable, although some upgrading is needed, as our sink was pitted and chipped. It would have been nice to have an ice machine available, especially since there is no air conditioning. However, having a balcony room was a nice touch.
