"The location was perfect & the view of Lake Neuchatel and the Alps was beautiful! The room was dark and the pillows and bedding were supremely comfortable."
"I stayed at the new Annex so everything is nice and Zen. There are no toiletries so please take note. It is really just opposite of Neuchatel station separated by a small road. If I were to nickpick, I hope that they can rotate at least one of the dishes at breakfast. I stayed facing the river. Oh, it has air conditioning that works how you want it to be so it will be great for Summer."
