“Good value for money”
The location is right next to the Firstbahn cable car station. You can also get a discount of 15% off for the cable car ticket if you didn’t buy the Swiss travel pass.

The employee with glasses was extremely nervous. He disturbed everyone at breakfast with his behavior. Everyone who got up to get breakfast had to act like little children who were afraid of their mothers.

There were a lot of bugs, flies, spiders and cockroaches in the room. The sanitary conditions were terrible. I slept with the light on all night. It was horrible.

Exceptional location (right near the cable cars). The included breakfast was so delicious. Perfect for a nice short stay! They also had a communal kitchenette so you could heat up any food you wanted to during the day.

“Great location near the First cable car”
Great location when walking a variant of the via alpini and taking the cable car down from First. the room was clean and the beds comfortable. We liked the little sitting area downstairs for a picnic dinner. It was also close to the VOI supermarket

“Unsufficient cleaning and nowhere to be found staff”
Location is good, right in front of First gondola. Cheaper than other hotels nearby, but it works more like a youth hostel than a proper hotel. It was quiet during the night.
