A Swiss hotel? Big room, kind of stark and spartan with hard furnishings. Had just what I needed with a blanket, a desk, good lamps, and ample outlets. Former convent??? Stairs only, or oddly steep ramps between floors. Recreating the Alps? Rooms needed better checking and updating between guests: Initially, hot water did not work my first night, which was scary and frustrating. I asked about it, next day (Sunday) and they surmised about an electrical problem above - which was worked on and corrected by evening. Similarly, safe failed because no instructions anywhere. Breakfasts were restrictive and a little stingy. Apparent owner made effort to welcome guests at breakfast. Yet, the atmosphere just felt stark and cold despite staff’s genuine effort to be welcoming. Odd. Hotel seemed to receive habitual return guests. Decent location, a little out of way, but quiet. Safe, with guarded and gated door behind a stone wall. Walkable to pedestrian boulevard, bus routes and known to tours and taxis. Could only find fast food options in area. Despite my complaints, this was my home for seven nights and I had no regrets.
