“Not worth the money”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 May 2011

The hotel is located in the city centre - the central location is the main advantage. The rooms are basic and the decor dated, the bathroom is nothing special either. It is clean and serves the purpose, but nothing more.
Neither the rooms, nor the food or drinks are cheap. I would expect a more personal touch or the staff going the extra mile. I ordered a glass of water on the terrace for which I paid CHF 4.00. No ice cube, no slice of lemon....it could just as well have been tap water.
There are other options in Solothurn that are cheaper and probably better.

“A little expensive for what you get”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We have been staying two nights at the hotel during the weekend. Probably because of the film festival, the room was CHF 240 a night, not too expensive for Swiss standards but being quite used to hotels, too expensive for this one though. it might be because it was an overcrowded time, but we had reserved for 2 and the hotel booked a single room (I believe this can always happen in spite of a good service) and we finally got a room just next to the service room on the 3rd floor. In spite of a nice welcome and an indeed very nice breakfast, we were disappointed by a truly tasteless decoration and a very small bathroom offering absolutely no intimacy. We were disturbed by the strong smell of cigarette smoke coming from next door (we were in a non smoking room and the smell was strong) and most of all of the noise. Again, we weren't luck probably but we could hear very well the chairs and tables being displaced (probably from the restaurant). The noise was so disturbing that we had to bang against the wall at 2 in the morning.... Apart from that the bed was very comfortable and the view charming.
