Please note that European hotel rooms are often more compact and may not include all amenities, such as electric kettles or elevators. However, they do ensure a comfortable and pleasant stay. Cool air-conditioning in Europe is often limited to 5°C under the ambient outside temperature (so if it is 30°C outside, the AC won't cool below 25°C). In Switzerland, most hotels will not have cool air conditioning at all. However, all hotels are centrally heated.

Check in and check out time across Europe will be 3:00 PM and 11:00 AM. However, if you arrive in a city earlier or depart later, you can store your bags with the hotel free of charge.
