Great - shame I didn't have more time to stay
Pros:

It was surprisingly modern and spacious - the images probably didn't do it justice

Cons:

It was really warm and as it was s modern - surprised it didn't appear to have any AC in the rooms? I arrived late and would expect if I had the time, a fan would have been available on request

Pros:

Zimmer war super geräumig und sauber. Die Lage direkt an der Altstadt perfekt. Das Personal war freundlich und das Frühstücksbuffet war lecker und absolut ausreichend! Wenn wir wieder mal in Aarau sein sollten, würde ich mich wieder für das Hotel Kettenbrücke entscheiden!

Cons:

Der Abfluss der Dusche war bei unserem Zimmer schon sehr verstopft und vermutlich schon sehr sehr lange nicht gereinigt worden. Ansonsten gab's aber nichts an der Sauberkeit zu bemängeln...

Preis-Leistung schon eher auf der gehobeneren Seite, aber für mal 1-2 Nächte i.O.

Perfekter Zwischenstopp auf Fahrradtour
Pros:

Freundlicher Empfang, Möglichkeit die Fahrräder einzustellen, Suite ist gross und der Blick auf die Altstadt wunderbar, leckeres Frühstück und sehr aufmerksame und freundliche Bedienung

Cons:

Auch bei geschlossenem Fenster hört man etwas die Strasse. Aber das hat uns nicht gestört.
