This hotel is very good value for money. However I feel like it’s due some modernisation. It sits in a lovely quiet location and is ideal for guests who are touring the passes etc on motorcycles like us. It is a few minutes away from the Furka and Grimsel passes which was ideal for us and we stayed two nights. The restaurant was shut both nights we stayed and breakfast was a basic affair. The owners were lovely but getting a bit old to work so hard and I feel some of the love and passion for the hotel is missing. It has potential to be an absolutely gem. I hope the younger generation can step up as this hotel has massive potential.

“Lovely/friendly staff, great breakfast, good location.”
Breakfast was really nice. Staff was incredibly nice too. I was late at check in and the lady left keys for me without any problems. 10/10 hospitality. Parking is available for free right in front of the hotel which is great. Great location too.
