Very nice small hotel around 15 mins. walk from the train station and town centre in Aarau, downhill getting there, uphill getting back to the station. The room was a decent size. Breakfast was continental and somewhat limited but what was there, was good.

“A very welcoming short stay here to see our N.Irish hero Foy Vance in concert!”
This guesthouse was very friendly and welcoming and located close to the old town. It is top rated for food in the town, although we didn't eat there, the restaurant was very busy. Parking is located in front, in a public car park and the receptionist has a card whereby you pay 12 francs a day. Our room was spacious, clean, super comfortable bed and homely. It was all very relaxing. Breakfast, although a small display, had everything - fresh bread, croissants, fruit, yoghurts, hard/soft boiled egg and a small selection of meats & cheese. We appreciated very much the 'help yourself to coffee machine' which is always the best thing ever! Super friendly staff who spoke English with us.

Very clean and bright rooms, very quiet, at a very reasonable price. Good continental breakfast buffet, however missed eggs and bacon. Convenient location with bus only 50m from hotel towards old town of Aarau and train station. Excellent (though expensive) hotel restaurant, great food and wines.

“Spend 2 nights at this hotel which has an excellent restaurant. The room was quiet and comfortable.,”
Good spread of items on the breakfast buffet, including for a vegetarian like me. Fresh fruits, variety of coffee, ovaltine, freshly baked breads. Love the cherry jam. I had an amazing dinner too. The staff was also so accommodating to fix a meal for my dog.
