"We stayed here for one night because we are on a road trip towards Italy. It is really close to the highway so super convenient. The people here are very nice. The rooms were clean and large enough. The breakfast was included and was very good. Croissant, coffee, yoghurt, you name it! Would recommend it."

"La mia recensione è per il ristorante dell’hotel. Sono stata a cena con amiche e siamo rimaste davvero soddisfatte. La proposta è interessante, semplice e davvero ben fatta. Ho assaggiato la carbonara, una delle più buone mangiate in Ticino..preparata a regola d’arte! Poi cordon bleu enorme con un bel ripieno e patatine croccantissime. Anche la tartare di wagyu ticinese mi ha davvero sorpresa..e per finire pignatta con linguine ai frutti di mare! La pasta saporita e i frutti di mare in abbondanza! Crostate del giorno freschissime e molto buone! Il tutto contornato dalla gentilezza della signora Klara e dal suo staff! Tornerò sicuramente e lo consiglio di cuore!"

"Wir haben ein E-Bike Tour gemacht und kamen durch Rivera und wollten dort Übernachten. Wir kamen über Booking zu dies Hotel. Wir haben 2 Einzelzimmer gebucht. Zimmer sehr gross und sauber mit Balkon. Das Abendessen war sehr gut, Cordon Bleu mit Pommes sehr fein und gross. Trotz das Restaurant voll war wurde man sehr rasch bedient. Bedienung sehr Sympathisch und freundlich und sehr aufmerksam. E-Bikes konnte man problemlos in den Kellerraum stellen und laden. Frühstück war gut und hat vollkommen gereicht. Wir würden das Hotel el sofort wieder Buchen."

"Stayed a night here during an architectural roadtrip with 2 friends. Heavy rain and thunderstorms meant we couldnt set up our tents like we had done until that point , so we were happy to find a good room for three at a decent price ( for the region ) here at this hostel. A very generous breakfast was included. I recommend this establishment fir anyone in a similar situation."
