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 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.

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.
