Book a Room with a View
Several guests mentioned that the views from the rooms were spectacular. Opting for a room with a balcony facing the Matterhorn comes highly recommended.

Consider Noise Levels
A few guests mentioned that rooms facing the river were peaceful at night, while others noted noise from a busy junction. If you're sensitive to noise, consider requesting a room away from any potential sources of disturbance.
Take Advantage of the Location

Enjoy the Breakfast

Be Prepared for European Style Showers
