    The room had only one tiny window so it was dark and no air conditioning.

    Great location. Good bike storage. It was a magnificent, grand old building.

    We were traveling with our dog, and the hotel kindly provided him with his own bed, blanket, two bowls, and some snacks. We were offered ice because of hot weather. And bottled water was free of charge.

    The double bed was on the smaller side.

    The staff was very welcoming and friendly. The location is really convenient. The hotel is a few minutes by foot from the train station and right in the middle of the town centre. A lot of food options round.

    The room layouts are interesting. There are natural stone walls, big wooden beams and sloped ceilings in many rooms. If you have height restrictions, make sure to ask.

    Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good and plentiful. Gluten free bread available if you ask ahead.

    It’s a beautiful old building but it does mean noise travels. Would be nice to have shampoo/conditioner and moisturiser included in room although soap was very nice.

    Nice building, nice spacious room. I thought it might be too hot and stuffy with not being able to open the window but air con was very good

    Nothing to report, except, perhaps, mind your head on the wooden beams

    This hotel goes a little further than most - for example, a free ice cream. The staff were excellent. Location very central to the city & the station

    My wife and I liked everything about this hotel.

    This hotel is in a historic building, dating from the 15th Century but well renovated. The staff members, Alicia, Marco and William were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is within walking distance of the train station. A short walk took us to Santa Lucia Plaza where there are restaurants and pubs, and local people gatheear. It was fun interacting with them. A short walk further was a chocolate shop. Great neighborhood. Also, a convenient location from which to take a trip to beautiful Rhein Fall. I highly recommend the hotel. Breakfast was excellent

    Not so obvious front entrance of the hotel when our cab arrive to find the hotel on narrow street

    Hot buffet breakfast and nice apple hot tea upon our arrival check in. Exit hotel door to nearest train station Schaffhausen to Zurich will be a breeze with our large luggages instead of the front desk recommended front door entrance. Efficient front desk to direct our walking stores in neighbouring shopping district and William Tell statue

    The only issue was the lack of heating which made the room chilly in the evening but did not bother us overnight. The heating came back on around 7.30am

    The property is in a great location and the room was spacious and comfortable. The bathroom was small but adequate and had all amenities. The staff were very helpful and responsive. They provided us with a kettle when we requested one, gave us dining recommendations and brought us a heater when we discovered the heating in the room and the heated towel rail were not working.

    It's very hot in Switzerland these days, and we could not sleep without the fan on. An actual airco built into the rooms would be most suitable for Summer.

    Lovely place for a night in the area. Super nice clean design with industrial furniture to match the building decor. Breakfast had a good selection too.
