From the moment we checked in, to the moment we checked out the staff at the yarn made our first visit to Switzerland an absolute joy. The rooms were lovely and spacey. The staff were so kind and always asking how you are and making sure you have everything you need such as complimentary bath robes and slippers and cold glass bottles of water. I love the way that they love the environment and encourage the drinking of the tap water (which was the coldest tap water ever!!!) we loved it! Also the breakfast was really nice always topping everything up and the eggs were perfectly made every single morning to order . I cannot fault these guys , also lovely touch that because it’s our anniversary they popped a bottle of wine in our room!. We might be back next year!!!

The room was beautiful, a very comfy bed, aircon was a bonus in the middle of August. The breakfast was great and it was a perfect location for sightseeing. I message the hotel before arrival to ensure there would be a bed and they were very quick to reply. We would love to stay again!

The only thing that I pay for parking and they didn't explain were the garage was. We park in front of the hotel which the parking is free. Hope I get a refund for the parking that I never used.
