Altstadt Hotels, Aarau

"Staff was great, the room was clean but outdated. The hotel felt "tired" as if it used to be great but corners were cut to save money. For a hotel in such a beautiful location, it felt unremarkable. Nothing wrong but so much lost potential."

"For room 404 - Large fan needed for room, in warm months, as even with temperature off, AC was too noisy at full level. Also for some reason the external window blinds opened right up to let the hot sun in and wouldn't drop down even when 🔽 button was kept pressed? USB ports were not working for my phone and mini fan to charge the batteries, on this visit. Pillows could have been a little plumper and firmer for a more comfortable sleep as 3/4 were quite flat. Excellent in all other respects and would stay again and recommend to others. Excellent hotel location, nestled in Swiss hillside. Transport right outside to the heart of Zurich city Regular taxis appearing to take customers to the airport. Exceptional service and so clean in hotel and everywhere you go. Bathroom facilities absolutely immaculate. I would have preferred breakfast at hotel to be a waiting on dining service, with menu on table and meet and greet hosting service on arrival to the restaurant, as the self service style was a little off putting for the price (30CHF). Super clean everywhere though. A small pantry close to reception provided refreshments and snacks whilst waiting. It would have been nice to have some complementary cooled Swiss bottled water in the room refrigerator in addition to this but excellent in all other respects. IKEA also 2 minute walk from hotel, really clean, clear layout, outstanding toilet facilities again and everywhere you go in Switzerland. Cannot fault it otherwise. "

"Great location. So close to the train station. We had some day trips planned so it was perfect we were able to get off the train and drop our luggage off. The staff was very helpful and let usdrop the bags off early. My room was updated clean and modern. I did not have an outlet in the bathroom so it was a bit of a challenge to blow dry and flat iron my hair :-) also a bit tricky the blinds Have a power switch but you can't see what they are doing from where the switch is located. We figured it out though. Very good value and walking distance to lots of shops. Only major drawback was the noise! Even with Windows closed there was a lot of screaming yelling and dogs barking. Probably bars around? Not sure but we were so tired we still fell asleep"

"Home from home . Great selection for breakfast."

"Quiet little place. Not much nearby but just enough to get buy with out having a vehicle. "

"Clean room, good ambience "

"We had a beautiful room on 12th floor with fantastic view of the rolling hills. The breakfast room had free coffee, hot water and some breakfast. "

"Excellent as usual"
