Personal super freundlich / Zimmer sauber / Wände sehr dünn, das man alles hört, was im Nebenzimmer abgeht ( sogar die Schritte). Boden mit alten Dielen sehr laut und sehr knarrig. Kein Lift. Frühstück war einfach, aber gut.

Ein Geheimtipp mitten in Solothurn.

Ein fantastisches Hotel. Für mich hat alles gepasst. Super nettes, zuvorkommendes Personal. Es ist ein neu renoviertes altes Gebäude, mit charakteristischem Ausbau, liebevoll eingerichtet. Das Frühstück, mit Produkten aus der Region, ist frisch und lecker - ein guter Start in den Tag.

Einfaches, freundliches Hotel

Einfaches Hotel, sehr grosses und sauberes Zimmer. Das Personal war freundlich. Im Sommer kann man im Garten Frühstücken. Wer eine eher einfache Unterkunft zu einem guten Preis sucht ist hier genau richtig. Parkhaus kostet Fr. 16.-- pro 24 Std. ist nicht weit entfernt.

Proche du centre

Hôtel bien situé, proche du centre historique. Petit déjeuner de très bonne qualité, produits bio. Par contre, chambre 13 assez mal insonorisée, 1er étage, côté rue. Nous entendons chaque pas dans la chambre au-dessus de nous. Literie confortable.

My Solothurn home-from-home

I've lost count of the number of times I've stayed here over the years; this was my first trip back since March 2020 and it was like I had never been away. It's a great hotel, in a great location with great service and they have picked up exactly where they left off before Covid. I'll be there next week again.

Gutes Hotel für kurze Aufenthalte

Das Hotel und das Zimmer waren in Ordnung für eine Nacht. Da das Zimmer zur Strassenseite ausgerichtet war, konnten die Fenster wegen des Lärms nicht öffnen. Da es sich aber um ein Stadthotel handelt kann man darüber wegsehen. Frühstück war gut. Einziger Minuspunkt in einem der beiden Zimmer hat es nach kaltem Rauch gerochen, was unangenehm war.
