It had a good promotion rate, staffs were very friendly. This hotel also gives you free drinks and have a service mentality more than usual. I stay in a single room so it must be a smallest room in this hotel but it was good size(not too small), there are a space to do even some excercise! Nice design, high quality breakfast, free wifi with good speed There isn't any obvious defect in this hotel but maybe the location. 15Min walk from train station(not easy road to walk) but a bus stop(line 30) is in front of hotel and takes 1-2min , only one stop from the main train station so it should be no problem for tourist. But I went there for business and finished my work very late so this one more step to reach the hotel from the station bothered me a bit. Not many shops around. Saying that , I guess the price of hotel is competitive because of this, so I can't complain

I found the staff very competent and helpful. The buffet breakfast was varied and the food was fresh. The accommodation was extremely clean and very warm, which was very important due to the severe weather conditions. I would definitely recommend this hotel to my colleagues as the location is also very convenient. Many thanks Roberta - London - uk

In general we found it to be a pleasant place to stay for a quick w/E. The breakfasts were magnificent and afternoon coffee quite a pleasant surprise. Made up for the continental custom of no tea making facilities in the room. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Choice of pillows very thoughtful but we were happy with the first ones. Five minutes walk to Barfusseplatz. Good bus and tram links. Mobility ticket a delightful convenience. Garden side very quiet. Road side rather noisy for country folk. Staff found us a room on the garden side when we aked them. Wash basin tap in first room was loose and plug didn't work.

Lovely modern look and feel - very friendly staff and breakfast great. Location perfect. Very small bathroom. Room could have thin curtains behind thick ones, so that one could open curtains and window and not be seen from the street.

Staff was really amiable, helpful and efficient. Location is very good - 10 min on foot from train station, 5 min to old town. Breakfast is awesome. Overall my impression is the hotel really tries to delight guests and not just to "tick the box": internet access details are given unprompted, bottle of water "to go" when you leave, powerful hairdryer, even small library to relax in the evening. Will stay again. Hotel is nice and clean, but the whole building and assets are definitely not modern. Relatively difficult to find so don't forget to print ininerary in Google beforehand or simply use bus #30.

Perfect location, just one bus stop from the trainstation, 5 minutes walk from the centre. Free tickets for the bus. Spacious and clean room, breakfast by the garden. Altough wifi is free in the room, there is no free access to the internet in the lobby. You have to pay 1 euro for 4 minutes access. The price for the room is too high, but it is switzerland.

Above all the breakfast was great - More than usual selection, good service & nice surroundings to eat in. The location is great too. On the edge of the shopping & entertainment precinct, rather than in it. Good tram access was a great help too. Nothing major wrong with our stay - would be good when in-hotel services they offer on notes in the room were actually fulfilled rather than needing a reminder though. Parking is the big issue. We used the Park & Ride service in Hüslimat with #10 or 17 tram @ $6.00/24hrs. The free tram ticket offer was a super compromise.

The stuff at the hotel is nice and helpful. The design of rooms is simple but I found it nice. The city center is close and easy to get by walking a "no-car, shopping street. From the train station sbb one needs to walk about 10 - 15 minutes. One should have a map or at least look at it before coming to easily find the place.

Small hotel, free internet, free public transport card, good selection of food for breakfast, friendly staff, clean rooms without carpet (very important for people with allergies), just 1 stop from the main trainstation & other public transportation hub. For very early check out there is no real opportunity to eat breakfast. Would be good if they gave the option of a breakfast (either eat in or take out) for early departures.

I really enjoyed my stay at the Steinenschanze! The staff were friendly and helpful; the breakfast in the morning (especially the coffee) was delicious; my room was always clean and comfortable... The location was ideal (right by the university, but also very close to the main square and the main train station). I would highly recommend this hotel! My only complaint about the Steinenschanze is that not all of the room keys work on the front door if you're coming in when the doors are locked. Mine was one of the keys that didn't work, and I had to buzz in every time I returned after 11pm. The desk is manned 24 hours a day, but it would have been nice to have the freedom of movement to enter with my key.

The hotel is easily accessible from the railway station by bus (#30). The hotel reception staff were outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The complimentary refreshments from 3 pm was a nice surprise. The room was spotless and comfortable. Finally, the breakfast was excellent, and the coffee very good indeed. I would use this hotel again without doubt. No real complaints. However, the room was somewhat small and there was only one chair in the room

I liked the excellent behavior of the hotel staff. I did not like the fact that the reservation was made in chf during the early May, 1 chf is now almost 1 eur. Therefore the room price in eur has increased with almost 30 %.
