8.4/10 Very Good! (520 reviews)

The stay was pleasant, and the hotel, while simple, is well located and suited my needs. The breakfast was good. I believe the overall experience could be even better with an improvement in the quality of the bed linen, towels, and pillows.

Naomi was a great help to us, helping with our dinner plans. The rooms were the best we had on our trip to Switzerland, France, Belgium and The Netherlands. We would highly recommend the Falco and gladly stay there again!

The room was very warm and welcoming. The staff did a great job checking us in after a long day of travel. The bathroom toiletries were great, and I’d love to know what candle scent they use in the lobby!
