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.

Great location in picturesque town.
We stayed in Solothurn because it was near friends we were visiting. The hotel is near the river and a car free downtown with plenty of bars, restaurants and shops. The hotel is in a historic building and lacks an elevator and air conditioning. In some rooms the bathroom is down steps from the rest of the room. The staff is friendly and helpful and there is a nice breakfast buffet. The banhof and parking garage are nearby. If you want an authentic European hotel this hotel is very charming. If you're expecting a Holiday Inn it's not.

Wonderfully renovated old house
This hotel is very well run by the owners. It is comfortable (even without an elevator) and has a great atmosphere. The common room with free coffee and tea all day and reasonably priced beer and wine is very welcome after a day of sightseeing. The rooms are of good size and the fitments, while a bit Spartan, are of good quality. The location is very central - adjacent to the old town and yet within easy walking distance of the train station and river Aare cruise stop. We will go back if ever in the area.

El check in fue muy bueno, aunque llegue un par de horas antes, tenian la habitación y me dejaron usarla, asi mismo al otro dia tenia salida muy temprano y me prepararon un lunchbox, no hay elevador. Lo mejor de todo es la ubicación, muy conveniente con todo cerca en Solothurn
