    We’re woken up when alarm went off; stayed on for an hour. Because there was no one at reception…..felt very uncomfortable.

    All was good.

    Self check in did not work tried 3 times. Had to use the phone to contact reception which was in another hotel 10mins walk away Hotel Arte. The receptionist would not come to hotel so had to go there to pay and get the room key. Luckily my Wife could stay with our suitcases while I went. The room never had any tea or coffee making facilities. The room was quite cramped and limited hanging facilities. Hotel on a major road and very loud traffic noise thoughout the day and night

    Shower was good and the lift worked. Breakfast was fair. Hotel was clean. It was not the sort of hotel for a holiday unless on a tight budget albeit was not exceptionally cheap. More of a hotel for people traveling for work

    It was very hard to find by sat nav and was advertised as having ‘parking garage’. It was stressful at night trying to find the hotel and then find parking. We couldn’t phone the hotel for help as it’s unmanned at night. When we did the self check-in it didn’t give us the option to check in both rooms, which was also stressful. I had to go through the whole check in procedure again and thankfully it gave me another room. We didn’t sleep well as there was a lot of noise in the corridors and rooms from other guests.

    Great overnight stopping point. Very clean. Lovely big, comfortable bed. Spacious room. Good breakfast. Staff very friendly.

    The bed mattress was not very comfortable and there was only one pillow which was a bit high for my liking. One day my waste bin was not emptied and, I believe, on the same day I had to ask the staff in the breakfast room to replenish the meat tray which they should have been keeping an eye on.

    At long last the breakfast start time on weekends is 0700 rather than 0800 which I've been commenting about before. If travelling around by train the station is only 4-5 minutes walk away with good services to the big cities. The self check in worked well, the room was clean, the staff were pleasant and the breakfast was adequate but could have done with some fruit salad.

    Nothing really. I've stayed before and will do again. Maybe the breakfast could start a bit earlier than 0800 on a Saturday and Sunday.

    I was a little apprehensive about the self check-in but if you follow the instructions sent by the hotel and also the machine on the reception desk, things could not have been easier. l chose an Economy Single room and it turned out to be the smallest room I've ever stayed in at this hotel but you adapt. It was kept very clean. Breakfast was adequate for a three star hotel but would liked to have seen some fruit salad. The only hot item was boiled eggs. As I was doing a lot of train travel Olten station is only 3-4 minutes walk away.

    The self check in without paper in the printer is not acceptable, because it was impossible to read the number of the room (and I was not the first guest to experience that). The not attended reception must be better cared. The "emergency" phone number answers with an automatic message only in German. The air aspirator in the room works practically without interruption and it is noisy. The single way to switch it off is to extract the magnetic key. A more efficient set up could be found

    Position, breakfast, silence, cleaning. The room was little but enough for one night

    The self check in worked fine, but it's still strange if you haven't used one before- there isn't anyone there at all and you put your booking details into a computer. You get a long email telling you how to do this, but It would be really helpful to have a few basic printed instructions in English, especially for how to get in the front door and where to drop off the key.

    The room was tiny but very light looking out over old roofs and a mountain in the distance. That was a very nice surprise because the booking said it looked onto an inner courtyard.

    That there was no-one at reception for the check in. Had to do it via pushing buttons. Confusing and a nuisance.

    The hotel is close to a busy road so there is lots of traffic noise.

    The rooms have AC so there is no need to open the windows and hear the traffic noise. Bicycle storage is available and a breakfast is included.

    Although the room was equipped with two radiators, both were freezing cold and could not be turned on, so the room was really uncomfortably cold during the night.

    The room was quite large and I also really appreciated the balcony

    We actually did not stay at this hotel but their partner hotel Arte (5 min away by foot). The only problem was that no written info (email, SMS, other) was sent to us before we actually reached the hotel, during the night. Hotel Arte does not have any negative things, the place was just amazing.

    We actually did not stay at this hotel but their partner hotel Arte (5 min away by foot), so it was nice that they kind of upgraded us from 3 to 4 starts and did not charge extra for that because it was not our fault (hotel Oltnerhof was closed). Review for hotel Arte: amazing place, good facilities, modern and super comfortable furniture, great bathroom with everything you need... breakfast also has a lot of things and coffee machine is good. The ladies at the reception and at the breakfast restaurant were really nice and helpful.
