Bar with Men, people smoking and playing pool. Police came to ask someone to leave, as they had overstayed their welcome. Nicely remodeled. Bathroom was especially well done. Bunch of older local people were regulars. Close to falls. Impression that it was recently converted from a rooming house style place above a bar.

Great Location
We arrived at the hotel really late and got really great customer service to help us check in. The hotel is simple but comfortable, and a very nice 5-7 min walk from the Rheinfalls. Love it!

Nice hotel close to Rhine Falls
It is about 300 meters to the mighty Rhine Falls. Which is the main reason we stayed in this hotel for one night. Hotel is OK. No complaint.

Værelset var bedre end det så ud til når man kom. Fint til en overnatning. Skidt man tjekker ind i en bar hvor det er fuldt med røg eller flink betjening Også skidt der man skulle betale en skat trods værelset var betalt

Grauenhaft! Nie wieder!
Dieses Hotel empfehle ich keinem! Im ganzen Hotel inkl. den Zimmern stickt es grauenhaft nach Rauch. Wir mussten den ganzen Tag das Fenster offen haben, dass wir es gezwungernermassen aushalten konnten. Das Frühstück (wenn man das überhaupt so nennen kann) mussten wir in der Raucher Bar zu uns nehmen. Spärliches Frühstück welches sogar abgelaufene Lebensmittel beinhaltete!!! Vom Personal wurde uns nicht entgegegekommen….ich denke sie wissen genau was sie den Leuten für zu viel Geld verkaufen. Einfach nur traurig.
