Boutique Hotel Wellenberg

Boutique Hotel Wellenberg

10/10 Excellent
"The property was safe, close to restaurants, close enough to the train station, close to lots of shopping. The staff was kind enough to give us a free upgrade to a suite for our family which was amazing and huge. We stayed one night before leaving back home to the United States. We were in Switzerland at three other hotels before staying here, and I will say I don’t know if it is a Swiss or European thing, but the pillows were just not that comfortable. I think they’re all made from down feathers, and when you lay your head on them, they just go completely flat. The breakfast was sufficient, but of all the hotels we stayed at in Switzerland, it was our least favorite… it was closer to an American continental breakfast. That being said, this was also the cheapest hotel we stayed at so maybe that correlates."
