Cheap and low quality

Single room was not comfortable: the room was very cold at night and I couldn’t sleep at all as the bed was very stiff and uncomfortable, plus alot of noise from the street and at 7 am staff start cleaning and screaming in the corridors which are not sound proof at all.

This is definitely a 3 ⭐️ hotel with a seperate toilet in the hallway. The facilities are clean but because it is in the old part of the city it needs a bit of love. The staff are lovely and the coffee was good.

We really enjoyed our stay here. It is in a lovely location. The breakfast was excellent but is a standard continental breakfast with cereal, croissants, boiled eggs, ham, cheese, yoghurt and nice espresso. Dinner was excellent with friendly service and regional food. The dessert was a wonderful tiramisu (not regional but the staff were italian). The hotel is as advertised. The rooms are simple but comfortable. The toilet was immediately outside our room as stated in our booking but was still convenient. The stairs are quite steep. It was quiet except for faint ringing of church bells in the evening. We would stay again. Thank you.

Unfortunately Spa was closed without any reason, and when it‘s open you need to pay extra 30euro per person, which is not convenient for a 4star hotel.

The first single room was very small with a very small window. The second was bigger with a much nicer window and drapes. It was close to everything and there was gluten free bread for me each morning. Very much appreciated thank you. The property was warm at all times and had dinner and lunch options. There is no lift, but I had help with my bag when I arrived.

Great economic hotel near station

The room was exactly as described, small, stairs as described, shared bathroom as described. Some other less positive are really unkind, marking diwn just because they couldn't get a table in the restaurant for example. I wish I had time to stay longer in Chur and Graubuenden.

Very good for a short stay

We had a one night stay after riding the Bernina Express train. It was good for that purpose with a smallish, rather rustic room and bathroom. Ana at reception and in the restaurant was very helpful. The property was very clean. We had a delicious fondue in the restaurant at dinner. The breakfast was adequate, but could have had more variety. The location in the charming old town was excellent and it was within walking distance of the train station. We would recommend it for a short stay.

Overall this was a pretty nice hotel but the bathroom situation was not ideal. We were aware before going that it was a shared bathroom but there wasn’t even a shower on our floor! The bathroom on our floor only had a toilet (no sink, but we had one in our room) Our room was tiny and the price was definitely on the higher side (that’s Switzerland for you) but it was one of the cheaper hotels in Chur. Not trying to scare people, just warn them.

Won't do that again!

When we arrived we were able to check in without any problems, staff was very friendly but failed to mention that we needed to make a reservation for dinner at the hotel restaurant. Not a big deal except that we did not know that almost every restaurant in town was closed. Since we had a long day in getting to our destination we were pretty tired and not really paying attention. So it took some walking around to finally find a place to eat, After eating we walked back to the hotel to our room and tried to get sleep but the beds are very uncomfortable, the room was pretty hot and right above the kitchen so we could hear every dish that clanked. Then about the time we started to doze off we heard a lot of yelling, screming, and general rowdiness directly below our window which we had left open to try and cool it off.

Switzerland is an expensive destination, no doubt. But, this is not a $160/night hotel. With shared bath and no lift, a more respectful rate might be $100 (85-90 CHF). A good place for a quick, passing-through single night (an excellent breakfast, convenient to the rail station, spectacularly charming altstadt neighborhood), but not a hotel to spend more than a night.
