We had to stay at this hotel after we had a problem with our car and got stuck in Airolo. It is located across the train station.||When w entered the hotel . We were tired and depressed after a long day stuck with a broken car. The lobby was dark and grim and as I was going to loos it we entered our room and immediately I was relieved.

By observation I think the Restaurant is known for their yummy Pizzas anyhow. ||In summary a very nice stay. I will come again and my full...

Have done so. While driving, i remembered that i have a paid for tax and drinks. I was already 50km away from hotel in Autobahn. I parked, called them and informed them and then i asked for a method of payment. They wanted all my credit card information with security code or i had to drive all the way back! They couldn't send me a receipt or something and they didn't have paypal. I didn't want to give my information of the card on telephone, so i had to drive 50km back for a 20€ transaction! It made me really mad that i had to drive like 100km for a 20€...
