    Rooms were a bit small but definitely doable for a couple days.

    Room was small but cozy and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent and staff very kind and helpful. The drinks on each floor were a bonus and so nice after a long day! Surrounding little town was so cute.

    it an nice quiet place close to a nature . Its perfect for a countryside Swiss experience

    • Classic Double Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    The room was near to perfect. I t was clean, spacious, nice lightening , good view over the street. Near to perfect because the double bed was two matresses next to each other over one double bed. the mattress was comfortable and nice but the line between could give u little back pain if you sleep in the middle. It also hard to keep two people on one side only. also although the washroom was soo nice and large, if I had a bathtub I would be happier..

    The restaurant is authentic and wooden cozy space which feels amazing. Although the breakfast does come with limited options for such a Hotel but the quality of most products are really good. for example cheese and milk and range of breads seemed local. You are also asked for the omelette options which is nice ( It was the best eggs I had in a hotel). Also there is a buffet in each floor of the hotel with drinks and snacks which is free and was helpful as we checked in late and no restaurant was open in the area. The only things that I wish were better in the breakfast was the juice as it was not fresh. Also, during mid day, the smell of boiling red meat was all in the common area , but not in the room I must admit.

    The garage - careful to drive in and out 😉

    Very easy check-in done online. Nice room and great breakfast. Friendly staff. We appreciate to have received a free transportation card to travel to Basel city. The only thing is that the garage has tiny parking spaces.

    I got a room above the back door at the hotel. On the backside with a bad view and noice from the kitchen in the evening. I travel a lot in my work and have always been upgraded or at least been provided with a better view then this since I stayed several nights . A huge minus

    The breakfast was perfect. And the staff very friendly and helpful.

    Is it really a four star hotel?

    Parking is extremely difficult (tight entrance, small spaces, just see the marks on the walls and you will see that others suffered too) For a one night stay of two, they provided only on pillow and not enough towels for even one person. When I complained the next day, the person at the counter first tried to blame it on us ( you arrived to late and probably did self check in - but we didn’t, and then on booking.com; no apologies or compensation were offered) The hotel honours its name, it’s all about cows and it had a strange smell for me.

    They have free beer. Breakfast was nice.
