10/10 Exceptional

The service provided by the staff of the Gaia Hotel was exceptional. The outstanding breakfast provided each morning was appreciated.
Brenda, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect!

Excellent location near to station, bus stops and well-stocked supermarket. Spotlessly clean.Stylish art deco rooms. Comfortable bed. Breakfast amazing - catering for all dietary requirements (I'm coeliac and the bread rolls were the best I've had!) Staff wonderful...free mini bar and chocolates... Can't find anything to complain about!
Martin, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

A delightful hotel just across from the railway station. The rooms are comfortable and smartly furnished. the style is a little dated, but that, perhaps, adds to the charm. There is a good breakfast which is nicely presented and offers plenty to eat without being outstanding The hot selection is poor and was not ready at 6.30 when I (and at least half a dozen other people) went down. The only real problem is not specific to this hotel: very poor value for money. This is true for Switzerland in general. Even countries that are not exactly cheap--like the Nordic nations--offer better hotels at more reasonable prices.

Our one-night stay was perfect. The entire staff was lovely. Our room was perfectly clean and bright. We were offered one-time half price tickets to local venues which we took advantage of. Breakfast was superb in a most beautiful dining room.

Wonderful hotel, conveniently located across from train station, lovely owner. She saw our interest in her art collection and showed us around and gave us back stories. Rooms could use a bit of upgrade but that is not a deterrent for staying there.
