Guest Reviews

• Emanuela (4/5): - Dusche war nicht praktisch, Adresse stimmt nicht überrein mit Lage des Zimmers.
• Dieter (3/5): - Die Zimmer sind sehr sauber und gepflegt. Es gibt einen Aufzug. Der Preis ist für die Lage und die Ausstattung aus unserer Sicht ok. Es war sehr schwer zu finden. Es empfiehlt sich daher die Bilder und die Bewertungen sehr gut zu betrachten und genau zu lesen. Wir haben den Fehler gemacht nur nach der Adresse zu suchen und unser Gpogle kannte die Hausnummer nicht. Selbst der freundliche Kellner von Hotel International (Nachbargebäude) war hilflos. Zur Sache: Es gibt kein B&B Hotel. Es handelt sich um 3 einzelne Zimmer die auf 3 verschiedene Stockwerke verteilt sind. Auf Feuerschutztüren und Kellerromanik (wir hatten das Zimmer im untersten Stock) stehen wir nicht wirklich. Auf das Frühstück haben wir verzichtet, wir haben aber auch nicht gewusst wohin wir hätten gehen können. Ein paar mehr und vorallem deutliche Hinweise hätten uns sehr geholfen spät abends angenehm ins Bett zu kommen.
• Inge (7/5): Helt ok men lidt skrabet - God beliggenhed, stort værelse Mørkt og kedeligt køkken med meget lidt køkkenudstyr og ingen viskestykker Manglende info om parkering - hvis pladsen er aflukket Meget uhyggelig belysning i begge rum
• Pornnika (5/5): Für Kurzaufenthalt super da die Wohnung sehr zentral ist. - Die Lage war super, Bahnhof war auf der andere Strassenseite. Das es ein B&B ist, jedoch gab es kein Frühstück. Auf Nachfrage, haben wir keine Antwort erhalten.
• Angie (5/5): - Friendly, helpful staff and a clean, tidy room. Very central location near the railway station. Our stay was generally pleasant, but the room did not match the photos or description at the time of booking. We booked a family room and received a smaller double room. The hotel explained this was due to a management change. The room itself was clean and comfortable, but the listing should be updated for accuracy.
• Dick (5/5): Mooie stad, accomodatie slecht. - Locatie was prima De accommodatie was niet te vinden. Niemand wist waar het was. Er was een kookplaat zonder pannen, bestek zonder borden.
• Corinna (1/5): Kein Mal und nie wieder - Das ist schnell beantwortet. Nichts ausser die Lage. Es wurde nicht ausreichend über das Zimmer informiert im Vorfeld. Auf den Bildern sah es so aus, als handle es sich um eine deutlich geräumigere Wohnung. Vor Ort konnten wir dann feststellen, dass es ein einziger Raum im Keller war. Ein französisches Bett das wir erstmal reparieren mussten. Kein Vorhang zum abdunkeln und auch kein Rolladen. Die Matratze war steinhart. Keller Charakter pur. Wir haben uns so unwohl gefühlt, dass wir in ein Hotel nebenan gegangen sind und dort übernachtet haben. Sauber war das Zimmer und das Bad war okay. Aber alles andere ist eine Frechheit und entspricht nicht den Tatsachen. Im Haus befinden sich mehrere Zimmer und man hat einfach alle Bilder zusammen genommen und sonst kaum Angaben gemacht. Sonst hätte ich das niemals gebucht.
• Anastasiia (4/5): - Very close to the station, affordable. Smell of the cigarets in the bathroom, and overall strange smell in the apartment. The shower head is nearly broken. There is a stove, but not a single pot to cook in. Stinky smell in the room overall.
• Francois (9/5): -
• Roberto (10/5): -
• Jiří (8/5): -
• Gianluca (5/5): -
• Bert (8/5): Rustige stek bij oude centrum - De inrit door de pooet is lastig
• Johanna (7/5): -
• j (5/5): Muy de paso - El anfitrión fue atento y rápido al contestar, se agradece, la entrega de llaves rápida , pero no vais a encontrarlo en el gps por que son unos trasteros. Buena ducha y armarios nuevos. Las habitaciones están preparadas en unos trasteros literalmente, en nuestro caso nos bajaron como a un sótano y allí era nuestra habitación. Para mi gusto esto deberían de volver a valorarlo por parte de booking, ya que la entrada es como si fuese los sotanos de un hotel, tema parking no hay, te dicen que si y luego resulta que te quieren cobrar por dejarlo encima de la acera.
• Theodora (6/5): -
• Daniel (7/5): - Great Location, easy parking, good stay for a night or two. No TV in the apt, noise from other apartments during night
• Jakub (10/5): -
• Manuel (3/5): - Sauber Wir haben für vier reserviert. Es waren nur 2 Betten gemacht. Wir kamen mit Kindern mitten in der Nacht und es gab niemanden der englisch gesprochen hat. Das Treppenhaus hat an eine absteige in China erinnert
• Zaki (10/5): - Es war sehr sauber
• Mohammadamin (10/5): -
• Anna Maria (6/5): breve tappa in una cittadina molto graziosa - buonissima posizione. camera fresca anche senza condizionatore; gentili a fare trovare due cialde per il caffè espresso doveva essere con uso cucina, ma la cucina era assolutamente sguarnita; spazi ridottissimi
• Sylvia (10/5): -
• Urs Boesch (5/5): - Unten war ein Restaurant! Die urspruengliche Unterkunft stand nicht zur Verfügung! Sie wurde angeblich verwüstet! Stimmte das auch? Die Ersatzunterkunft war unpersönlich! Man musste digital einchecken! In der Nacht war es laut!
• Luca (8/5): - Appartamento molto spazioso, essenziale nell’arredo ma comodo. Ottima posizione e grande disponibilità dei gestori. Perché non cambiare il telo doccia con un box doccia più comodo?
• Roxana (5/5): -
• Michelle (4/5): - Wir waren nicht im B&B Ilien, es gab Probleme mit dem Appartment deshalv wurden wir ins B&B Giovanni umquartiert. Die Wohnung war geräumig. Leider war die Wohnung nicht so sauber, es hatte keine Seife beim Waschbecken und auch kein Duschvorhang bei der Badewanne. Auf dem Balkon waren viele Zigarettenstummel.
• Sorin Birsan (8/5): Util si confortabil pentru o noapte. - Locatia Prizele.
• Felix (8/5): - Der Gastgeber war sehr freundlich, spricht aber nur italienisch. Nicht ganz einfach zu finden, der Eingang liegt auf der Seite des Gebäudes und ist nur auf dem Klingelschild bezeichnet.
• Delia (7/5): -
• Lud25 (7/5): Niente di che ma comodo - Davanti alla stazione, ottima posizione. Camera abbastanza nuova e moderna come da foto. Cucina attrezzata. Siamo stati solo una notte pertanto è andata bene. Il parcheggio "prenotabile" in realtà equivale a mettere la macchina su un marciapiede davanti ad un edificio abbandonato. Dopo aver scaricato i bagagli, abbiamo preferito parcheggiare per strada anche se a pagamento.
• Jiří (6/5): We were accommodated elsewhere - I cannot evaluate the accommodation, as we were accommodated elsewhere. Due to problems with the accommodation we had booked, we were accommodated elsewhere. I appreciate the proximity of the parking lot and the size of the apartment. Insufficient equipment, for example, there were no cups for tea and coffee. The bathroom had insufficient lighting.
• Stefan (8/5): Very good - spacious apartment. All basics available. Good for an overnight or weekend stay.
• Jhenkhar (8/5): Good. - Location of the property is very central, apartment is super spacious. Bed linens were clean, apartment is clean. Owner is quite flexible. It would have been nice if there were some more kitchen utensils like knife, some more vessels, bowls etc. Also, heat controlling knob in shower was defective and made bit uncomfortable. Wifi was bit fluctuating. Owner hasn’t mentioned that payment is only possible by cash. I had to visit a cash machine. In booking.com it was mentioned that car payment is possible.
• Richard (7/5): Good - Very large room. Good location near railway station Wi-Fi connection poor
• Dianne (7/5): Quite pleasant and comfortable - Place was clean and modern and comfortable Host didn’t answer the phone fir over 10 minutes then took 15 minutes to arrive while we parked illegally Very little equipment to cook with.
• Chirag (8/5): Nice location for a stop over - The apartment is spacious with a huge living room and kitchen overlooking the main entrance of the train station and the fortress. The parking is free which is a big thing if you are in Switzerland. Just let them know before that you need a spot. I collected the keys from the mentioned address. The people there were friendly but had some communication difficulty as they spoke only Italian.
• Ivo (8/5): Very good -
• Dpz (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sara (7/5): Good - Location is perfect, just in front of the train station and 5 min walk from the center. At the stations there is also a supermarket open late night and on sunday. The apartement is spacious and bright. It mind fixing the sewerage... or replace the air fresheners 😱 Minder stuff like no Bedside table lamp, no coffee spoons, no pasta drainer i could kind of accept...
• Stella (8/5): Very good -
• Lim (7/5): Good -
• Rafael (9/5): Superb -
• Chris (4/5): Would not return to this one. - Fortunately we paid for upgrade room. Creepy people loitering around the facility. The attendant also did not seem trustworthy. Also a bit seedy behaviour.
• Mohammad (10/5): Exceptional -
• Francesco (8/5): Very good -
• Thai (2/5): Very poor - Location was in the middle of the city and thats the only good thing about my stay. We got sick after staying at his apartment. To start, the owner - Gino called me in the morning on the first day of booking and ask if he can exchange the apartment, he stated that the apartment that I originally booked is currently under renovation. At this point I cannot say no because where else am I going to stay? Had he contacted me a few days before my arrival date so I can have time to change my booking, but he didnt. Second, the apartment is located in a worn down building. When we got there, I was overwhelm by the bleach smell. I can tell that he has his apartment clean using a lot of detergent but didnt open the door so the smell can escape before we arrive. Third, the bath room is small and has only a small light. There were only a tiny sink, a toilet and a bathtub. All squeeze in 1 small room. The shower head is located underneath my neck (I am 1m66) so when I want to wash my hair I have to bend down... When we take shower in the night there was not enough hot water for all of us. So some of us has to take cold shower - which is very uncomfortable. Also after shower, the entire floor is wet, the curtain didnt hold the water in - and also as a cherry on top - they didnt give us a towel as carpet for the bathroom, so we have to put in our own towel. Fourth, the apartment has no sound proof walls. I can hear the people on the floor above me snoring through the entire night, also whenever someone walk into the building, I can hear the main door squeak as well. Due to the slim walls, the entire apartment got very cold during the night and our blanket was so slim that it couldnt keep us warm enough. This is why we all got sick after staying there for 3 nights. I am a very easy going person and I dont like to leave negative review like this, but we all got sick from the stay of which we paid almost 500.- CHF for 3 nights with tax included, so I feel the need to write this review here. Hope this helps
• Byju (7/5): Great location..ok for a night stay - Very close to the train station. Comfortable beds. Cleanliness above average but can be improved. Friendly host. Passable for 1 night stay. It was a 'family room'. Was in ground floor..windows cant be opened but ok for 1 night stay. Exhaust fan in bathroom has to be replaced or repaired as it was noisy. Bathroom average.
• Eamonn (7/5): Good -
• Alina (5/5): nice staff. it was difficult to find the hotel. - close to the center there was no air conditioning. the room was a bit empty
• Madhvi (1/5): My host cancelled the room the day of booking. - Host cancelled out booking because he sent us text thru whatsup app and due to 12 hours of hopping on all kind of different transportation to reach hotel at 11:30 with my wife and a 12 year old child when we called the host we were told to check messages and that our room was cancelled and it was sold to someone else. And he also mentioned that whatever I paid will also be not refunded. I had originally requested to allow late check in and a day prior we informed the host that we will be reaching the property by 12am. Which we were asked to pay $20 extra. We agreed to paying extra. Next day at 11:27pm we found out that he had texted us to pay immediately or my room will be cancelled. Due to us hiking in remote area and being unable to hold cell phone charges we mostly kept the phone off. We took 9trains and 3 buses total of 13 hours of journey to reach Bellinzona to find at 11:27pm that our reservation was cancelled and payment is deducted from out card.
• Katja (8/5): Very good -
• Joey (7/5): Central location, clean accomodation - Good location: short walking distance to city center and station. Beds were comfortable, bathroom was very clean. Gino was an attentive host. Little noisy at night due to (weekend) traffic and passers-by.
• Judit (6/5): Pleasant - The location is perfect and the collection of the keys was fast. Breakfast at the hotel next door was included. It was very clean. Friendly staff. Overall I would say that you get what you pay. The room was located on the ground floor facing a noisy street and due to the weather, we had to have the window open. A bit hot at night, even with a fan (we visited during summer). The pictures in the advert are mix different rooms, so it isn't easy to get a clear idea of what you get. I was missing a small fridge.
• Patrick (6/5): A good review? - Good location. Spacious apartment; flexible Gino changed us into a larger apartment when we booked for two beds but was initially given only one double bed. The photos on booking.com are from both of the available apartments and cause confusion. Beds were ok. Not a self-catering apt as no fridge or kitchen. No a/c but he brought a fan when asked. Noisy being on street level. Poor WiFi. The whole setup does not appear run by hospitality professionals even if it all works somehow.
• Cristina (10/5): Excelent location and apartment - Clean apartment with all the amenities. Everything was great and we had a free coffee at the hotel next door. Location right by the station. Perfect for those who want to do the Gottard! Thanks Gino! Could have better wifi.
• Ronald (10/5): Owners very helpful, room very clean and comfortable. - Great location by station and close to centre and castle Nothing
• Daniil (6/5): Strange place - The flat was fairly clean and fairly comfortable. - The host doesn't speak any language except Italian - For the full price we paid we received a cheaper option for 3 people instead of 4. We specifically booked another room since we needed a kitchen and a dining table that didn't exist in the room we received - The host was unfriendly saying that it's not his business and that he doesn't care about the overbooking of the property (turned out that the room we booked was given to somebody else), and if we didn't like it we had to leave - Booking did nothing to help us although we called customer service and wrote to them several times
• Ian (6/5): Easy place to stay, not sure would stay more than a night or two - Lovely location, right across from the train station. Property listing has WiFi. No wifi on property. Was told I needed a cable to have internet. That is a major disappointment as a foreigner I can’t really research without WiFi.
• Dennis (7/5): Good - Perfect location, few steps from train station. Clean room / bathroom. Great price. All was good for us, staying for 1 night in middle of longer train travel.
• Richelle (9/5): Superb -
• Dorcas (7/5): Good overnight stop off point between Italy and France. - The host was really helpful. The location was ideal, very centrally placed near the station (though google instructions were not good). The bed settee wasn’t very comfortable but the main bed was fine.
• C (8/5): Great location for a pit-stop during a long drive in gorgeous Bellinzona - The location was superb being in the center of Bellinzona, just a bit pricey for a family. But we were going for a long trip, so we needed a good place to rest with the kids before it.
• Kris (10/5): Exceptional -
• Dobrojean (7/5): Perfect for a short stay for travellers without high expectations concerning coziness. - The fact that is was so close to the train station is super. The kitchen is disappointing as it has no windows facing outside. It is only very basically equipped.
• Jim (8/5): Very good -
