“While a room might overlook a construction site, you're mainly there to sleep, and the self check-in, supported by a nifty web app, streamlines the process. The location couldn't be better, practically next to the main train station, making it ideal for budget-conscious travelers to Switzerland. The breakfast, a short walk away in the main hotel, is reportedly worth the effort.”
