I was a little scared by the reviews read after the reservation but I must say that I enjoyed at the Hotel des Voyageurs. I think the appreciation of the property depends very much on personal taste. Certainly will appeal to people who appreciate the rustic and traditional. In contrast, those who prefer modern hotel with all mod cons, should move onto something else. I stayed in room 558, top floor (so no problem with the upstairs tenants), single, non smoking. The room is cozy in quite small. I found clean and tidy every day. The carpet is filthy right (I don't think the change every week and in Switzerland we use). The small CRT TV has been off as it would have been off any other tv. Close to the tv, on the wooden desk, I found a kettle (which I didn't use) and you need to prepare the tea. The bed is small and quite uncomfortable, the pillow case. Besides that in the room there is a wardrobe (safe), a bedside table and mini bar. The bathroom, as opposed to what I read in other reviews, is modern and clean with a large shower, toilet and sink. I don't know if they have reformed recently or I happened upon a room "lucky". If I find anything outdated in the room are the frames but survived anyway. The rest of the hotel is very traditional, consists of 5 floors with a beautiful staircase with handrails in wood and carpet on the ground. To move there is a small and fast elevator. On the landing of the first floor, where there is the breakfast room, there is a "decorative sink, ancient heritage", damn kitsch but on the other hand we are in Switzerland … I found breakfast plentiful. I tried to get an espresso and they told me I had to wait 5 minutes, so I opted for the classic coffee and milk … Apart from this juice, jams, croissants, cheese, ham, yoghurt, cereals, bread, butter and more … The staff are all very helpful and friendly. The wireless Internet is free but not very fast. The reception closes at 23 and at check-in you are given a security code to open the front door at night. The rooms open and close with the key, as it once was, no cards. In general I consider my stay (4 nights). The only negative is probably the bed quite uncomfortable. As stated above I recommend it to those who appreciate the traditional style and is not too spoiled.
