    My understanding unlike in US and other places, in Switzerland hotels does n’t provide those things, it is better you carry as much as possible (may be in 5 star hotels they might)

    Some do but not all, and not always of good quality. Also, they do not provide washcloths. I would email the hotels with specific questions. Sometimes the websites will tell you.

    I haven’t stayed in a hotel yet which did not provide soap and shampoo. If it’s not in the room already, you can ask the staff. I never had to do so though. Conditioner is usually not provided.
