Find the Best Lyss Hotels

The breakfast is plentiful, with more varieties, and there is a parking lot. The double bed room is a combination of two double beds. It can’t be lying in the middle. It has a hot pot, which is in line with Chinese habits. Some rooms also have a balcony. It is within walking distance of the lake next to it and 20 minutes’ walk from the Omega Museum. About 5 minutes walk from the railway station.

This is a review of the Courtyard's restaurant Bluma - not the hotel. We were a group of 9 people who had lunch at the hotel's restaurant yesterday. The restaurant has a rather nice selection of smaller dishes (a tasting menu) from around the world (e.g. quesadillas, Bao buns, falafels, etc.). The idea is that you order 2-3 items and, if possible, share dishes at your table. In general, a nice concept and a nice looking restaurant. My issues with the restaurant: - COSTS: the costs are high, especially when going for lunch. The dishes cost from CHF 14.50 - 22.50 and a liter of water cost CHF 12. So, you are easily spending close to CHF 40 per person, assuming you only get 2 dishes. As some of the dishes were really very small, many of us needed 3 dishes. This is a very expensive restaurant, even for Switzerland. - SERVICE (1): the restaurant was empty except for our group (perhaps because of the cost issue above?). We all ordered fairly quickly, but the dishes came out staggered over the next 70 minutes. As I only ordered one dish, I sat there watching everyone else eat as mine (the Goan beef curry) came out last. Why would it take well over an hour to get all the food prepared? There was no one else in the place! And, one of the steak dishes was forgotten and had to be re-ordered, so we had a rather hungry teenage boy for awhile. - SERVICE (2): the wait staff did not understand even basic German, you had to speak French (preferable) or English with them. - SERVICE (3): we asked for separate bills by family which would have meant 5 separate receipts for our group. As the restaurant was completely empty, it should really not have been a problem. Yet, we still received one bill at the end and it was quite difficult to separate. Anyway, I hope the hotel F & B management is reading their reviews and does something to fix their cost and service issues. Again, the concept of a tasting menu is interesting and the reason we selected your restaurant. Consider offering a special lunch menu & price and please do look at the service issues.

But is it really a four stars? ! ? There is nothing to make you think: old structure, doors of rooms with defected locks, gentle but unprofessional staff, at the reception there is always a poster with the word “I'm not in reception, call this number if you need Something,” little breakfast and little variety, but mostly I've never seen a 4 star without 24h reception service!!! I arrived at 00:30 at night and I had to call 8 times a number to find someone who made me enter the hotel. It's not a 4 stars, and the only thing that separates it from a 2 stars is that it has a bathroom in the room.

The hotel is comfortable. Well situated. With a parking. And the staff welcoming and smiling. We liked that. Out mixed feeling comes from the noise level. Not from outside. Not from other rooms, but from inside. The AC system is very noisy and we did not manage to master it. Our unit was pushing air at mac level all the time. Even if we would turn it off it would go back to full speed after 20 minutes. If we remove our door card, it would go to full speed immediately. At 2am we ended up removing the room fuses to cut all electricity in the room to sleep. I dont know if this is a defect or by design, but this was the first time I was faced with an AC systems with its own initiative :-). I would like to have control on the room AC and cut it if I need to. Here I had very little control even on the temperature setting.

The hotel is centrally located in a very busy area. The entrance is next to the Indian restaurant, which is also part of the hotel. The entrance area and reception are very narrow and small, guests can hardly cross paths. Advance payment on arrival is mandatory. The room is not particularly large and is fairly clean. Everything is old, worn and seems to need a general renovation. The bathroom is very small, you can hardly move in the shower. Unfortunately, it is also very warm in the room, even though there was a standing fan inside. Sleeping is almost impossible, as the room cannot be darkened properly. Leaving the window open at night is not an option, as it is still loud from outside even with the windows closed. It is just as loud from inside, as the walls are very thin. The breakfast is sufficient and OK. Fresh coffee is brought to the table. The price is not high, but still too much for what is offered. It is bearable for one night.
