Well, we liked Walter, once we warmed to him. The rest of the staff very nice and helpful. The breakfast was best i have ever had except for a small hotel in Campa Nova Brazil. The recommendations from Walter fir dinning and sightseeing were excellent.

The hotel has NO FREE PARKING. They have 5 parking spots total for 23 rooms. We were lucky to park twice in front of the hotel (there are 2 spots) and never at the back (3 spots), we had to pay for the parking all other time (we stayed 5 nights). The manager guy (I guess, the owner) was rude about the parking and the coffee machine in the lobby which was turned off on Sunday ?? Our room with 3 beds and a balcony was nice.

Very friendly but super noisy

I couldn't sleep well: 1) the curtains were not dark/thick enough, so at 5.50 the first sun light came into the room waking me up; 2) and to make it worse, every time someone used the bathroom or the shower or the sink (not sure which one it was) in another room you heard the water going down the pipelines quite loudly, so quite a bad night. The owner was super nice and friendly.

Great value

The hotel was very clean. The staff was extremely nice & welcoming. The check-in kiosk outside the entrance was hard to navigate, but luckily the employere was nice & opened the door for us. There is a separate key for the room & the hotel entrance. All keys are on display for all rooms & you have to insert one key to get the other (you only get 1 key at a time.. either room or hotel door). They should update to a card system like most other hotels. Other than that, I highly recommend this hotel & Solothurn has a lot to offer.

War dort wegen einer Fortbildung. Habe etwas gesucht, das ruhig, Nahe zur Altstadt, sauber ist. Wurde alles erfüllt und mir gefällt das Ambiente sehr. Es ist kuschelig, das Personal ist sehr nett, alles ist persönlicher als in einem grossen Kongresshotel und dennoch sauber. Für mich war es perfekt.

Haus mit persönlicher Note

Das Haus ist an guter Lage nahe dem Stadtzentrum. An einer Nebenstrasse gelegen, ist nachts relativ gute Stille. Das Frühstücks-Buffett ist reichlich und in originell dekorierten Räumlichkeiten. Parkieren an der Strasse möglich.
