The facility is located outside the city center in the very pleasant natural surrounding. It takes approximately 50 minutes to reach the center walking and we enjoyed it. In every case there are several bus lines going to the center. It is 30 minute walking to the airport. The breakfast included buffet with cereals, cheese and jam, jogurt and bread (gluten free bread included). The staff was very friendly.

Internet was not as fast as I expected. No other objection.

Breakfast cafeteria style was fine, no frills but very adequate. Rooms were nice and what we expected. Bathroom was adequate not new, small, but the shower was hot with good water pressure. Rooms have two single beds kind of dorm room style which is fine if you know in advance which we did. Location is a bud ride and walk from town but it’s very pretty and quiet location. Staff was very kind and helpful.

Coffee could have been better. The toilet ran a little loudly after flushing.

I had the room to myself which was fine. Breakfast was super. Staff was helpful.

I thought I could do some research on John Knox or other Reformers, but there was virtually no library and no literature i was offered. I could not figure out what its mission or purpose was.I thought I would have more opportunity to talk to others as I do in hostels, but the vibe was pretty impersonal and I felt out of place. I was not prepared for how far outside the city it was and how far it was from the bus stop. I was also surprised that there was no recycling bins in the building as Switzerland is so concious of its importance.

Hotel located at one of the top areas in the city, felt partial chillness even in summer visit. Receptionists responded way is very good. Comparatively find as cheap price of stay if searched in last minute too

There is lagging of facilities, but we focused on cost hence got little interruption, the hotel doesn't provide even a single print free of charge even we were stayed there. They charged for that TV is not there, only Wifi+LAN Too far from bus stop, hence the hotel may provide the shuttle service for the client free of cost As an Indian, we felt little hot in the hotel, even its in hill area, they may provide table fan during the stay Breakfast may included the items wit respect to where the clients from

The breakfast was great, continental selection. Good start to the day The guy on reception (Jean Pierre I think) was helpful and professional beyond measure, he looked after us as we arrived late and sorted out our best way into town in the morning. A big thanks to you

Bed could have been better, but otherwise very happy

The food served at breakfast was of high quality and plentiful. The coffee was delicious, and the staff were friendly. The location is excellent, the village is very charming and peaceful. You can easily reach the city center within a short distance as the number 20 buses pass by frequently.

The location was really the best, I'm glad we stayed there. The staff were friendly even though we didn't speak any french, and even helped us with some bus questions.

One of the nights we were unfortunate to have someone on the next room make a lot of noise and disturbing our sleep at around 2~3h in the morning. I think it's really not the fault of the hostel but of inconsiderate guests.

Peaceful location in the forest at only 10min ride from downtown. Very good value for money. The hall is like a travel in time to the best 60s-70s scandinavian decor (with very little care would jump to next level)

Scarce water flow in bathroom. Poor climatisation, hot rooms at night. Still, very good value for money and austerity as you would expect from an ecumenic spot. Not sure how temperature would be in mid-summer.

Excellent setting, natural surrounding, cozy soundproof room, friendly staff, arrangement for main door key card at night

An egg for breakfast as an additional item would have been better

The atmosphere was warm and friendly with helpful staff. Felt at home. Pleasant walk to the bus stop. Beautiful area for walking.

The radiator pipe made a clicking noise which disturbed my sleep. The bathroom curtain could be renewed and the tiles scrubbed properly.
