    Pros +

    • Location. Large comfortable room.
    • Beautiful, cozy rooms. This is my third stay, and I find that all rooms are unique, respecting the ancient architecture of this historic building, which is something that lies close to my heart.Staff are always friendly and positive, and the breakfast buffet is more than adequate.Extra point for several great restaurants within a 5 minutes walk.
    • Big surprise in a small town along Lake Neuchâtel. Very charming hotel in old historical looking house, but with freshly renovated rooms. Friendly reception, good buffet breakfast, good location in old town.

    Cons -

    • No issues
    • Sound insulation between rooms varies a bit. Some are perfectly quiet 24/7, while in others you will hear it if the next room turns up the volume of the TV at night...
    • Nothing, it was much better than expected.

    Charming hotel with parking slots near by and well situated : in the old city, percect for an overnight stay while on business trip

    Not much to say, maybe scramble eggs in the morning ?

    10OgsvPosted on: 9-10-2025

    Beautifully renovated and maintained old building. All the charm but also all the comfort - good soundproofing, which is nice when you're in the absolute center of the village.Spacious room with a small sofa and table.

    Central location, great breakfast, the rooms are basic, but spotless clean and functional

    5WernerPosted on: 6-30-2025

    In principal it is an old nice Hotel in the Center of the City. No direct parking available- wir können Park you Around for 400 meters away.

    The rooms are standard nothing special. In the Middle of summer I got a very hot and noisy room, no air condition - below the room the most frequent roundabout of the city.

    9MichaelPosted on: 5-26-2025

    Excellent location, very good breakfast and friendly staff

    No kettle or coffee machine in the room

    10AstradirPosted on: 4-25-2025

    Great location, cozy room, spacious and bright breakfast, welcoming staff, cleanliness, spaces to hangout during the day, for example on the first floor, easy check-in.

    There is really nothing I can say. Maybe on Sunday morning, there could have been more staff to look at departing guests and breakfast - a lot to juggle for one person.

    10TracyPosted on: 4-14-2025

    The Breakfast was AMAZING, the quality and presentation was perfect. Super fresh local produce and excellent coffee. Room was super clean, bed was very comfortable and view from my room was lovely. Staff was super friendly and the atmosphere was relaxed and chilled.

    8HoskinPosted on: 3-10-2025

    enjoyed breakfast. Not sure that coffee machine made the best coffee but adequate. the room is pleasant.The room was generally quiet except for morning traffic. One night there was noise from the floor above. Another night there was noise from the kitchen. Neither were a problem.

    Better lighting in the bedroom and perhaps a nice old armchair

    10MarcPosted on: 11-15-2024

    Central location, beautifully renovated old house, excellent breakfast, nice / helpful personal

    10HelenPosted on: 10-15-2024

    It's such a cosy and lovely place ran by loving, caring and friendly people! GreatShower and warm room with afternoon sun and double glazed window. Gave us a kettle and mugs when we asked. I had the best Gluten free rolls specially prepared for me every morning. Nothing was too much trouble to ask - truly a gem...quiet and central in the lovely medieval town. We had two rooms of the whole floor which was very considered arrangement.

    If I had to pick something the bathroom was on the small side for the two of us, but not a big issue at all.

    Excellent breakfast. Comfortable bed and pillows. Lovely setting with courtyard. Chic restaurant on site. The stay was enhanced by three very kind staff members: Caroline, who saw who saw my distress at having a room on the third floor on an extremely noisy street and with extreme heat and no air conditionung. She changed it to a quiet room on a low floor. Elena in the restaurant t was welcoming. One of the housekeepers gave me extra pillows and she was smiling and cheerful.

    When I arrived for a three night stay in a peaceful village and saw I was given a room on the third floor off the main road in extreme heat I thought I would pass out. I had been traveling for two days. The owner explained that the building can't be air conditioned. I was given a room.that was quiet after, but the staff and guests smoked constantly. The room was 8 square feet at the most. I very respectfully asked that the staff smoke elsewhere and was spoken to so rudely by the woman who had also served breakfast, telling me basically that I was in.a hotel, a space used by many people and if I didnt like it I should leave. THIS same woman came to my room at checkout time, five minutes after 11 AM to inform me that the hotel was full andd I needed to leave immediately. She was LYING, as the hotel showed availability both on booking.com and it's own website. I was shaking when. I left. I asked to see the owner. I told her how this woman had ruined my stay which had begun so badly in the first place. It was like she was intentionally nasty to make herself feel good. The owner didn't really seem like she cared. It's like you have a beautiful building but no real soul. My stay was ruined.

    Very friendly staff, gorgeous rooms, good food.

    The room AC should be replaced by a regular fan, it's noisy and doesn't do much.There's no parking.

    8bbaybellePosted on: 7-9-2024

    Fantastic location in the pedestrian center. Very friendly staff. Restaurant downstairs is convenient.

    8AlfredPosted on: 1-23-2024

    breakfast was decent and continental. hotel location is centered and the are some restaurants nearby. walking distance from a few nice location,

    No Parking @location for more than 15m which is very frustrating when cold and raining.nearest parking is about 7m walk when parking spot is available.

    8NicolasPosted on: 8-21-2023

    Very good breakfast.Nice and helpful staff.Nicely renovated hotel.The owner tried to find us a cooler room as our room was extremely hot due to 35degC outside on that day.

    Our room was on the noisy main road. Small village but so much traffic late at night on a Saturday.We found the price of almost 200chf a little expensive for a rather small room. But I guess that these were swiss prices...
