Excellent location, impeccably clean, and helpful staff. It’s a no frills stay, more of a business/convenience hotel than luxury but the location can’t be beat.

HOT! Not a good experience but hopefully temporary

Just to keep things in perspective, the issues I had seemed to be temporary due to construction but none the less what I experienced. The room was extremely hot. When I called down to the front desk to ask about it, they told me it was a known issue and should be fixed the next day. It was very hot for a couple days and then a little more managable the rest of the week but I had to keep the balcony door open the entire time (Febuary) just to keep the room at a manageable temp. The water also randomly and repeatedly went from scalding hot to cold during my showers which was fun. Other than that, its a no frills hotel but clean (aside from the construction) and in a good location (right across from the train station). I chose this place because of its location and the gym which is actually offsite but thats not a big deal. I might give it a try again and hope its better next time.

Top Lage, schöne Zimmer, freundliche Mitarbeiter.

Ich bin ab und zu beruflich in Rapperswil und übernachte dann immer sehr geen im Sorell Hotel Speer. Lage, Ausstattung, Service und Freundlichkeit der Mitarbeiter - das ist alles sehr schön und angenehm. Und das Frühstücksbuffet ist total lecker.
