Robin
Room was very nice .. just lacked AC like all hotels in Switzerland so was hot even with a small fan and tiny window open. The hotel was very conveniently located and the parking was reasonable (15 chf per night) in a lot nearby. Breakfast was good. Staff was friendly and very helpful.
Michael
It is a fairly basic room with no special amenities; bring your own shampoo etc. There is a Nespresso machine that is greatly appreciated. Also the restaurant is quite good and the staff very efficient. Many restaurant, cafés, and pubs closely located on food.
Eric
Very nice hotel. Quiet, well situated, friendly staff. Highly recommended
Clarice
Very small beautiful quiet village- a non tourist area. Very safe with public transportation available.
Robert
Great hotel and location
Best Hotel and location in Aarau. My go-to when working there.
Elizabeth
Aarau is an adorable old walled city with a river running through it and the hotel is charming, but also completely renovated inside. Staff was super nice. Bottled water and breakfast was included.
Reolon
The rooms were very comfortable and the stuff was friendly. The location is also good. Just 100 meters and you are in the old town. It's recommendable.

Andreanne
Excellent one night stay in Aarau
I had an excellent stay at the Kettenbrücke while hiking in the area. The room was well appointed and comfortable, the staff I was in contact with were all welcoming and professional, the breakfast buffet was good and the hotel is within easy reach of everything.
The only thing I didn't like so much is not something that the hotel can do anything about: Aarau is a quite a noisy town with a lot of cars passing at relatively high speed. I usually sleep with the window open, and unfortunately it was not possible that night.

Stylish, central 4-star hotel
The modern hotel is located right in the center of the picturesque city of Aarau. It has a cute rooftop, delicious breakfast buffet and we saw part of the river from our room. The front desk staff is super friendly and helpful and our room was elegant and comfortable.
Verified traveler
Good hotel to stay in Aarau. Good location, friendly staff. It's a small hotel for a small and nice town.

Im Zimmer konnte nur ein Mini Flügel geöffnet werden. Das Frühstück findet leider nicht auf der Terasse statt. Ein separater Raum für die Fahrräder wäre in dem Preisniveau schon wünschenswert. Die Lage des Hotels ist sehr gut.

Leider warm
Leider war unser Aufenthalt nicht sehr angenehm. Das Zimmer war sehr warm, da es keine Klimaanlage gab. Dadurch war das Schlafen schwierig und wenig erholsam. Insgesamt empfanden wir den Komfort als unzureichend.
Anna
Vi bokade sista minuten för en familj på fyra på genomfört och fick en svit. Stort och rymligt och modern inredning. Tyvärr lite ljudligt med fönster mot gatan.
Ilse
Optimale Lage zur Altstadt, gleich am Fluss liegend. Sehr freundliches Personal
Alexis
Das einzige, was ich persönlich schade finde, sind die Kosmetikprodukte auf den Zimmern. Diese entwerten das Ambiente und wirken billig und sind zudem aufgrund der Inhaltsstoffe bedenklich. Ansonsten gefiel uns das Hotel sehr gut.

Sehr zu empfehlen
Super gelegenes Hotel in der Altstadt ... mit Auto und Bus gut zu erreichen. Viele Restaurants und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in der Nähe, aber auch ein lauschiger Spaziergang an der Aare ist nur ein Steinwurf entfernt. Sehr moderne Einrichtung. Zimmer modern und sehr funktional eingerichtet.

Excellent
c'est mon hôtel préféré dans la région. Accessible facilement depuis la gare (station Zollrain) ou grand parking public (payant) à côté. Environs très agréables au bord de l'Aare. Beaucoup de restaurants tous proches. Hôtel tout neuf et chambres très confortables. Restaurant de l'hôtel un peu cher mais de grande qualité. Terrasse ombragée.
