For the second time I have reserved this accommodation (B&B) and I would like to thank the owner for the top hospitality that he gives us every time. Excellent Excellent because it also has a well-equipped kitchen. Certainly still true

We stayed once again at Ruth’s BnB in early November. As before our stay was very comfortable and relaxed. Ruth is such a friendly and helpful host. She supplies a private fridge for each room and the communal kitchen is well equipped. We made good use of the free transport card provided to guests. Niederdorf, the nearby villages and surrounding countryside is lovely to explore on foot, bike or in the car. Views from our window looked out over lovely Swiss countryside. This is a perfect place to stay if you prefer to get away from the rush of the city.

Tidy, comfortable and quiet room with enough space and wonderful sunshine and mountain landscapes. Very friendly and equipped service. Very closed to the tram station so can get to the city center without problem. A very decorated lovely house. If you climb up the mountain a little bit , there are many beautiful animals and plants. Very highly recommended
