  Liked: Breakfast was excellent, and the location is decent. The room lacks privacy curtains, which compromises privacy; the bathroom is quite a distance away, bath towels are available only for a fee, and no toiletries are provided. For Switzerland, the price is quite competitive.

  Disliked: The beds should have curtains, basic body wash should be provided, and bath towels shouldn't come with an extra charge.

  Really recommend:)

  Liked: Very nice location, sourrounded by park and river, closonto city centrum. Modern simple interior, everything clean. Good shower units in the hallway and sink with mirror in the room. Breakfast with coffee/tea

  Average but will not travel to Switzerland anymore. Ridiculously expensive

  Liked: It was clean, the beds were reasonably comfortable and did not make noise shower cubical were of good space, it was near to tram services and nea the centre

  Disliked: The kitchen area was not accessible to the guests to be able to store their food in the fridge or be able to do some cooking for themselves, rather than just having to rely on the expensive food being served. No towel available if one is on a shared room. I feel it was a bit over priced bearing in mind the above
