If this hotel were a bit more expensive, I wouldn't rate it with more than four points, but as the pricing is so reasonable for Swiss standards, I think the value for money merits another point. It *is* old - the building as well as the furnishings and appliances. I noticed that on the hairdryer in the bathroom, it said ”Made in W. Germany” - so before Germany's reunification, which makes that hairdryer more than 30 years old. But it worked well and was clean, and this is typical for the whole hotel: Everything is kept in good working order and I hadn't any issues with anything. Some furnishings are visibly worn, but never dirty. My room was well appointed. Particularly, I think i counted about seven power outlets (!) in the room alone (including multiple sockets), and additional ones (for the hairdryer and a shaver outlet) in the bathroom, so you will always have enough to charge your devices etc. The room rate included (continental) breakfast which was decent enough - including boiled eggs, muesli, various kinds of bread, a small selection of cheese, juices, and a good coffee machine. There is a room safe, though it is tiny - just large enough for a wallet, some keys or the like. I think the hotel could improve quite a bit if some small things which can't be very costly were replaced - such as installing larger room safes, or new shower heads (the shower was fine, hot and strong, but the shower head was a tiny plastic thing). If your room faces the railway station, there might be some noise, though the railway in fron of the hotel is not the main line with freight trains, just the small MGB local passenger trains (and Glacier Express) which aren't very noisy. As a railway fan, I even liked it to have bit (not very loud) of the announcements in the background, and it's quiet later in the night. I would definitely stay there again.
