Hotel impeccabile ed ottimo il rapporto qualità/prezzo. Camere spaziose, pulite e curate nei dettagli. Letto matrimoniale estremamente comodo. Bagno ampio, di design. Wi-Fi in camera eccellente e vasta scelta di canali tv anche italiani (reti Raine Mediaset). Parcheggio facile e gratuito. Ottima la colazione. Completa la struttura un ristorante a piano terra che non ho provato ma presumo sia molto valido. Eccellente nel complesso

Breakfast very poor
Room was large with terrace. Bed was unconfortable.Parking is outside in front of hotel with cameras but open street. Breakfast was extremely poor, just some yoghurt and small low cost cheese. Receptionist is kindly. Also you get free ticket for public transport. Internet is low quality

Great value, compared to prices in Lausanne. Transit was great, close to grocery stores. Dinner at 5:30 pm was not possible. Fridge wasn't very cold, room was warm (fan but no air conditioning). Staff were friendly and helpful (especially answering TONS of questions by email before my trip).
