Great hotel. Breakfast could be more colorful.

8/10 Very good

Room was very nice .. just lacked AC like all hotels in Switzerland so was hot even with a small fan and tiny window open. The hotel was very conveniently located and the parking was reasonable (15 chf per night) in a lot nearby. Breakfast was good. Staff was friendly and very helpful.
Robin, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It is a fairly basic room with no special amenities; bring your own shampoo etc. There is a Nespresso machine that is greatly appreciated. Also the restaurant is quite good and the staff very efficient. Many restaurant, cafés, and pubs closely located on food.

6/10 Good

Leider warm

Leider war unser Aufenthalt nicht sehr angenehm. Das Zimmer war sehr warm, da es keine Klimaanlage gab. Dadurch war das Schlafen schwierig und wenig erholsam. Insgesamt empfanden wir den Komfort als unzureichend.

Vi bokade sista minuten för en familj på fyra på genomfört och fick en svit. Stort och rymligt och modern inredning. Tyvärr lite ljudligt med fönster mot gatan.

Optimale Lage zur Altstadt, gleich am Fluss liegend. Sehr freundliches Personal

8/10 Very good

Das einzige, was ich persönlich schade finde, sind die Kosmetikprodukte auf den Zimmern. Diese entwerten das Ambiente und wirken billig und sind zudem aufgrund der Inhaltsstoffe bedenklich. Ansonsten gefiel uns das Hotel sehr gut.

Aarau is an adorable old walled city with a river running through it and the hotel is charming, but also completely renovated inside. Staff was super nice. Bottled water and breakfast was included.

Sehr zu empfehlen

Super gelegenes Hotel in der Altstadt ... mit Auto und Bus gut zu erreichen. Viele Restaurants und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in der Nähe, aber auch ein lauschiger Spaziergang an der Aare ist nur ein Steinwurf entfernt. Sehr moderne Einrichtung. Zimmer modern und sehr funktional eingerichtet.
