Hotel Swisss has a lot going for it. The location is amazing, the building is charming, and the price is fair. The staff are also very friendly. The only catch? You have to actually find them first. The receptionist is like a rare Pokémon, occasionally appearing before vanishing to cover shifts in mysterious parts of the hotel. Need assistance? Good luck, this place turns customer service into an interactive treasure hunt.
Now, let’s talk about the noise. If you’ve ever wanted to experience what it’s like to be sonar pinged awake every hour, this is the hotel for you. The church bells don’t just chime, they perform. You might like that, but its not for me. And the walls? Let’s just say they have the soundproofing capabilities of wet tissue paper. I now know way too much about my neighbors’ nighttime routines.
Breakfast was an experience. I can only assume they serve juice in shot glasses and provide teaspoons for cereal as part of some kind of psychological experiment. Either that or they’re training guests to eat like 18th-century aristocrats. I felt like I should’ve been wearing a powdered wig while carefully rationing my cornflakes.
Despite all this, the hotel’s beauty, friendly staff once located, and great location make it a decent choice. Just bring noise-canceling headphones, a magnifying glass to find the receptionist, and maybe a full-sized spoon if you plan on eating breakfast like a normal human being.
