Categories

Cleanliness
8.3
Rooms are repeatedly described as clean and tidy, though breakfast area/tables were noted as messy and sometimes unhygienic during busy periods.
Service
7.6
Reception and restaurant staff are described as friendly in several reviews, but service is inconsistent (reception unstaffed at times, minimal check-in information, staff taking breaks/ smoking in guest areas).
Location
9.2
Very convenient for Rhine Falls and city centre (short bus walk), on-site Tesla chargers and parking; location behind an arena/industrial area makes surroundings less scenic.
Room Quality
7.8
Rooms are adequate in size and generally clean with comfortable beds, but overall furnishings are simple and many rooms lack air conditioning (fans provided in some cases).
Amenities
7.6
Good parking and EV charging noted; breakfast and restaurant facilities exist. However, lack of air conditioning in corridors/rooms and poor ventilation were repeatedly criticized.
Value for Money
8.8
Multiple guests find the hotel good value for a one-night stay or event accommodation and reasonably priced given the offering.
Food and Beverage
7.5
The restaurant is praised by some for quality evening meals, but breakfast is often criticized for poor selection, being overheated, insect problems and being quickly depleted during busy events.
Overall Experience
8.8
Generally acceptable for short stays, events or travellers prioritizing location and price; less suitable for tourists seeking quieter, fully serviced stays due to crowding and heat issues.

Nice place to stay and visit Schaffhausen, Stein am Rhein and Rhine Falls
Pros:

The hotel was not far away from Schaffhausen, the staff were lovely, the rooms were comfortable, and the breakfast was superb. As it was on the outskirts of the city, we were very peaceful with our dog.

Cons:

An air conditioning could be a good idea.

I won’t be staying here again.
Pros:

It’s an acceptable place to stay for one night, but don’t expect too much.

Cons:

That would be a long list… I certainly wouldn’t recommend it for a stay of several days. The staff weren’t friendly, the breakfast was particularly bad… and so on.
