Unfortunately Spa was closed without any reason, and when it‘s open you need to pay extra 30euro per person, which is not convenient for a 4star hotel.

Great economic hotel near station
The room was exactly as described, small, stairs as described, shared bathroom as described. Some other less positive are really unkind, marking diwn just because they couldn't get a table in the restaurant for example. I wish I had time to stay longer in Chur and Graubuenden.

Very good for a short stay
We had a one night stay after riding the Bernina Express train. It was good for that purpose with a smallish, rather rustic room and bathroom. Ana at reception and in the restaurant was very helpful. The property was very clean. We had a delicious fondue in the restaurant at dinner. The breakfast was adequate, but could have had more variety. The location in the charming old town was excellent and it was within walking distance of the train station. We would recommend it for a short stay.

Won't do that again!
When we arrived we were able to check in without any problems, staff was very friendly but failed to mention that we needed to make a reservation for dinner at the hotel restaurant. Not a big deal except that we did not know that almost every restaurant in town was closed. Since we had a long day in getting to our destination we were pretty tired and not really paying attention. So it took some walking around to finally find a place to eat, After eating we walked back to the hotel to our room and tried to get sleep but the beds are very uncomfortable, the room was pretty hot and right above the kitchen so we could hear every dish that clanked. Then about the time we started to doze off we heard a lot of yelling, screming, and general rowdiness directly below our window which we had left open to try and cool it off.

Helpful staff, good breakfast, fresh coffee or chocolate with breakfast, clean rooms and facilities, convenient to everything, close to train station, enjoyed dinner. Difficulty in walking up to 4th floor location of bedroom. Had to go to 3rd floor to shower. Will be happy to return but make sure to stay on 3rd floor.

I stayed in room 22.
It was extremely small and I would highly recommend to take take this enormous closet out of the room in exchange for something smaller.
One person does not need such a big closet.
The room could use a little updating.
Fresh coat of paint,new curtains etc.
The personnel was great.

This is the perfect place to rest after a long day of traveling. We were taking the Bernina Express into Italy and stayed here the night before. The staff is exceptional and well as the room! We opted for a private bath but after staying we would of just as well stayed in a room with the shared bathroom. The complimentary breakfast is amazing! Boiled eggs, fresh bread, croissants, fruit, yogurt, granola,variety of fresh cheese and ham.Book here you won’t regret it!

But tricky to get there. But someone was kind enough to take us there. Very basic room no expectations. That’s what it says anyway. Floor squeaks w lot. Bed makes noise even when u r turning around in your sleep. Floor and bed disturbs other person’s sleep. Service is good, definitely can be improved a lot. 15 minutes walk to the station or from the station:

The property was keep very clean at all times during my stay. The staff were very professional, friendly, polite and helpful. They go above and beyond to help with what I needed. The ladies at the reception welcomed me warmly, help me get situated and provided me with an adapter for my computer since I had the USA adapter. Breakfast was the highlight, food served was excellent. Clean and well arranged buffet. Bathrooms were regularly cleaned. The property smelled clean. I felt very safe and welcomed throughout my six day stay. A big thanks to all the ladies that made my stay pleasant especially Anna and the rest...DANKE! I will return!

Hotel is in a very good location in the old town. Lot's of dining options around. Breakfast is simple but it is adequate. Restaurant dawnstairs is good. Rooms are pretty small but thats what you get for such a low rate. Staff are kind and helpful. One thing I was disappointed about was, when I requested a cup of hot water, I was told that I must pay 4 Swiss Francs to fill my cup with hot water. I have traveled to over 35 countries and no one ever charged me for a cup of hot water before..
I would certainly recommend this hotel to others.
