What guests report

View

Rooms facing Alpine mountains and valley highly praised; river-facing rooms may have water noise; balconies on higher floors particularly scenic

Bed & mattress

Beds generally described as very comfortable ('like clouds'), though some older junior suites have sagging/curved mattresses that need updating; Superior rooms have newer, better quality mattresses

Bathroom & water

Mostly functional and modern with good hot water; shower water pressure occasionally weak in some rooms; some junior suites have basic aesthetic; transparent glass between toilet and shower in certain rooms creates privacy concerns for couples

Wi-Fi

Superb; explicitly praised as 'super fast' with excellent reliability throughout hotel

Breakfast

Exceptional; consistently rated as exceptional and highlight of stay, with extensive variety, premium quality products, and attentive service

AC / heating

Heating systems effective; cooling/air conditioning not specifically mentioned as problematic or exceptional

Elevator

Available

Local knowledge

Request a room on higher floors (5th floor mentioned as having great balcony views) away from river-facing sides if noise-sensitive

Book dinner at La Trattoria early—ravioli with brown butter and sage is signature dish and sells out

Don't miss the afternoon tea and cakes service in the grand café—highly praised by guests
