Reviewed Apr 20, 2026Breakfast was actually quite good! And i didn't pay attention, I hadn't realized there's breakfast included! Awesome! Rooms were clean, and otherwise a quiet place, provided that other people there are also mannered enough to not loudly shut the doors
A bit sad that I didn't know ahead of time I need a coin to use the locker. Ended up sleeping with my bag. Also a bit sad that I had to go to the property to check in, and then leave immediately. Because the online check-in doesn't work fully autonomously, you have to pay at checkin anyway. Had i been able to check in online, all would have been well

Eine zusätzliche Ablage im Zimmer wäre toll gewesen. Gäste, die sich nicht an das Rauchverbot in den Zimmern gehalten haben. Dass die eigenen Handtücher mitgebracht werden mussten.

Reviewed Sep 13, 2025Las camas fueron cómodas y buen desayuno, el lugar estaba limpio.
Nos dieron una habitación en el primer piso, y cuando entramos ya estaba ocupada. Cuando nos cambiaron al piso de abajo no nos aclararon q en ese piso no cuentan con duchas por lo q no pudimos bañarnos. Además al llegar nos cobraron 54CFH. Siendo que ya habíamos pagado la totalidad de la reserva y solo faltaba pagar 10FCH del parking y 4FCH del puesto turístico. En total nos salio bastante caro por no tener duchas, por la misma plata podíamos pagar otro lugar más completo.

Reviewed Aug 27, 2025The staff were great: friendly, welcoming, accommodating. Many thanks! The location is a bit uphill, a half-hourish (a tad less) walk from the city centre. Wifi was not that great on the second floor where my room was located, on the first and ground floor it was great. The room was clean and the bed was comfy. I even got the free public transport ticket from the hostel for time I was there.
As I said, the wifi was pretty poor on the second floor. The lockers were usable only by inserting a 2 frank coin - which I didn't expect, and didn't bring any cash with me. The location is not ideal - it is a pretty steep uphill walk when coming from certain directions. Otherwise, there is a tram station nearby, which was really helpful.
