Hotel Dell'angelo

The place is clean and has been well renovated — it actually looks much better than on the pictures! Great location too.

The location is fantastic; right on the main square, adjacent to the winding alleys of the very clean and beautiful old town, and also the more recent expansions of the town. It is also just a 10 minute stroll to the station, and less to the lake and its cruise ships terminal, as well as the foot of the mountain railway. The daily rate and the continental buffet breakfast were fairly priced, when compared against the backdrop of the generally expensive price level of everything in Switzerland. The breakfast was good. The restaurant and bar are also good. The hotel and its rooms might be appointed with furniture and fittings that have been there for a couple of decades but they are of such substantial, robust and good quality that there is absolutely no problem with that. Indeed they could be considered as adding to and in keeping with general ambience and charm of this small , cosy (possibly family run) business.

Although the rooms have excellent windows and are very well insulated against sound from outside the building, the sound insulation between rooms 407 and 406 really was inadequate; EVERY noise form my neighbours could be heard in detail. Worst of all, their yapping dog was a terrible disturbance when left in the room as they went for breakfast.
