Zentral gelegenes, gemütliches Hotel
Pros:

Sehr schönes und gemütliches Zimmer in rustikalem Stil. Das Hotel ist zentral in Solothurn gelegen - ideal für jemanden, der wie ich an den Filmtagen Solothurn ist. Das Frühstück überzeugt mit Käse und Fleisch von lokalen Anbieter:innen.

Pros:

The staff is friendly and helpful. The location is within a walking distance from the train station and bus stops reasonably close to the hotel. They offer laundry service they fold and bring to you and it’s reasonably priced per batch rather than per item.

Cons:

Every thing was great.
