Overall, a decent option. View is fantastic and so is the location. Rooms and bathrooms are average size. our room had a balcony and the view of the lake is fantastic. Car park arrangement is available with Hotel International about 200 m away.

At a very convenient location, just 2-3 minutes walk from the funnicular which take you to the main station. Although property is very old but they maintain it to properly... More
