The simple Traube has the look and feel of a bargain hotel but isn't. Despite its location in one of the town's most handsome buildings, very near the Landsgemeindeplatz, it lacks panache. Guestrooms are modern and clean and come with TV, radio, and direct-dial phone, but we recommend spending the extra francs for one of the other hotels reviewed here.
