Lonely Planet
"There is no escaping the bovine animal at this unusual cow-themed hotel." Full review

Should you prefer not to wake up to a farm worker forking hay, mountain goats running up a hillside or an Alpine village, ask for a room in the new building - they have no wall mural, no cow-themed shower curtain and are generally reserved for more sober-minded business travellers.

With a mere three francs separating frugal guests from partaking in the morning buffet, avoid the overpriced Continental spread (US$46).
