There are several
hotels in Neuchâtel
of varying prices to suit all budgets. To date, I've only stayed
in the following two - but would like to try the
Hotel
Palafitte
next time round.
Please mention MarksTravelNotes.com when contacting these fine establishments. I have stayed at all these hotels.
Recommended hotels
Hotel Beau Rivage
(
1, Esplanade du Mont-Blanc, CH-2000 Neuchatel
)
- We've stayed at the
Hotel Beau Rivage
a few times now and have been consistently impressed. Service
has always been 5-star, bathrooms are excellent, rooms
are spacious and rivals the
Hotel Splendide Royale
(
Riva Antonio Caccia, 7, CH-6900 Lugano
)
in Lugano in
the comfy carpert stakes. Good restauant with a decent
selection of local wines - which is always a plus. Location
can't be bettered - nor can the lakeside rooms. On our
last visit - we even had a kickbike in the room to use
during our visit.
Other hotels - caveat emptor
Hotel Beaulac
(
Esplanade Leopold-Robert 2, CH-2000 Neuchatel
)
- We stayed at the
Hotel Beaulac
for our last visit to the Fêtes
des Vendanges in 2009. This was our first and last
stay. I have no complaints regarding (a) service which
was fine if uninspiring or (b) location which is only bettered
by the
Hotel Beau Rivage
(
1, Esplanade du Mont-Blanc, CH-2000 Neuchatel
)
. The bathroom, on the other hand, is the problem - it
contains only a shower, i.e. no bath, and no room to swing
a cat in. Which, at 280 CHF (plus taxes) for a double room,
is shockingly poor value - I've stayed in several
hotels in Switzerland over 100 CHF per night cheaper
with better bathroom facilities than this.
