Leider war mir die Matratze zu hart und ein zweites Kissen…
BarbaraCHWerde sicher wieder mal dort übernachten.
Die Lage ist perfekt. Zentral aber trotzdem ruhig. Das ganze Haus war sehr sauber und ist sehr schön renoviert. Das Frühstück ist einfach, aber alles Nötige ist da und schön angerichtet. Nettes Personal!
BrunoCHWir waren sehr zufrieden, sowohl mit dem Zimmer, dem Frühstück und der super Lage beim Bahnhof
MagaliCHChambre spacieuse et propre, personnel sympathique. Parfait pour 3 personnes.
Le petit-déjeuner était bon, mais choix assez restreint.

Questions about Hotel Rio Muralto
What time is check-in and check-out at Hotel Rio Muralto?
Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Hotel Rio Muralto allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Hotel Rio Muralto?
Yes — parking is available on site at a charge the property sets. We check the rate and whether a space can be reserved against your dates.
Is breakfast included at Hotel Rio Muralto?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does Hotel Rio Muralto have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Hotel Rio Muralto have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book Hotel Rio Muralto?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
