Hotel berhampiran Bois de l’Abbé, Neuchatel

I'm here for business, not too expensive and in the center of the town. Many restaurants to choose from, the shopping district a block away. Wifi is more than sufficient to work from the hotel. Staff is welcoming and pleasant. This is my second stay, both rooms have been clean and comfortable. Must have been updated after some of the reviews. I've stayed in some small rooms in Europe and these are mid-range. Enough room for a bed, chair and a built-in work space. Space to move and not feel like you are tripping over the bed. I prefer my windows open for air, so choose the city side if you would like it quieter in the evenings. Outdoor patio for a restaurant and the main walking path are on the lake side. Evening walkers, weekend visitors and restaurant staff putting away the patio could keep you awake after 10. Close the windows and you will be fine.

Nous avons passé une nuit dans cet établissement calme (malgré l'autoroute et la voie rapide qui passent pas loin) et bien situé entre Neuchâtel et Bienne. L'accueil est agréable, la chambre est propre et grande comparée à d'autres IBIS que nous avons pu tester auparavant. Le petit déjeuner sous forme de buffet est varié. Le personnel est sympathique. Nous recommandons pour une étape.

Beautiful setting - alps, marina, greenery - this place has it all. It is a short drive from Geneva airport and a little oasis facing the marina. The rooms are comfortable, well equipped with sockets and usb sockets and an iphone for web browsing during your stay. I had a garden room but all the views were picturesque and the area was tranquil and peaceful. The spa was closed when I stayed so I can't comment on those facilities but just strolling around the marina was relaxing and refreshed me! The light and airy reception was accessed easily by a gentle slope and was central to all the rooms and facilites including the restaruant area. The restaurant was one of the best in-hotel restaurants I have visited. Both lunch and evening meal was a charming blend of light European cuisine and a great local wine list. The service was very good, prompt, we didn't have to wait long for any courses and politely unflustered. All with a backdrop of the marina courtesy of the vast picture windows.

The hotel est vast, and very modern, situated on a ”restoroute” on the highway. It is extremely well isolated (I could barely hear the cars with the window open, and not at all with the window closed) As it is on a hill, the view is very open There are two restaurants at the basement. Their quality is good for highway restaurants (there are unfortunately no reduction for restaurant customers). There are also a few shops. It is possible to take a breakfast, but I didn't try it The access with bikes is very easy, and there is a dedicated room where to leave them for the night

This is a review of the Courtyard's restaurant Bluma - not the hotel. We were a group of 9 people who had lunch at the hotel's restaurant yesterday. The restaurant has a rather nice selection of smaller dishes (a tasting menu) from around the world (e.g. quesadillas, Bao buns, falafels, etc.). The idea is that you order 2-3 items and, if possible, share dishes at your table. In general, a nice concept and a nice looking restaurant. My issues with the restaurant: - COSTS: the costs are high, especially when going for lunch. The dishes cost from CHF 14.50 - 22.50 and a liter of water cost CHF 12. So, you are easily spending close to CHF 40 per person, assuming you only get 2 dishes. As some of the dishes were really very small, many of us needed 3 dishes. This is a very expensive restaurant, even for Switzerland. - SERVICE (1): the restaurant was empty except for our group (perhaps because of the cost issue above?). We all ordered fairly quickly, but the dishes came out staggered over the next 70 minutes. As I only ordered one dish, I sat there watching everyone else eat as mine (the Goan beef curry) came out last. Why would it take well over an hour to get all the food prepared? There was no one else in the place! And, one of the steak dishes was forgotten and had to be re-ordered, so we had a rather hungry teenage boy for awhile. - SERVICE (2): the wait staff did not understand even basic German, you had to speak French (preferable) or English with them. - SERVICE (3): we asked for separate bills by family which would have meant 5 separate receipts for our group. As the restaurant was completely empty, it should really not have been a problem. Yet, we still received one bill at the end and it was quite difficult to separate. Anyway, I hope the hotel F & B management is reading their reviews and does something to fix their cost and service issues. Again, the concept of a tasting menu is interesting and the reason we selected your restaurant. Consider offering a special lunch menu & price and please do look at the service issues.

The hotel is comfortable. Well situated. With a parking. And the staff welcoming and smiling. We liked that. Out mixed feeling comes from the noise level. Not from outside. Not from other rooms, but from inside. The AC system is very noisy and we did not manage to master it. Our unit was pushing air at mac level all the time. Even if we would turn it off it would go back to full speed after 20 minutes. If we remove our door card, it would go to full speed immediately. At 2am we ended up removing the room fuses to cut all electricity in the room to sleep. I dont know if this is a defect or by design, but this was the first time I was faced with an AC systems with its own initiative :-). I would like to have control on the room AC and cut it if I need to. Here I had very little control even on the temperature setting.
