Hotel berhampiran Kirche St. Pelagius, Diessenhofen

This is a very modern and stylish hotel, extremely convenient for the main railway station (Hauptbahnhof) and the historic city centre. Despite its proximity to the centre, it’s actually in quite a quiet location. The bedrooms are well insulated for sound, so we heard very little noise from the station or outside generally. The hotel overall, including the rooms, are decorated and furnished in a contemporary, “corporate” style, which some may find lacks charm. But the lobby, bar and restaurant are smartly decorated with good quality materials and artistic touches. The room was functional but very clean, efficient and comfortable. We stayed for a few nights and felt the hotel was welcoming and safe. I would give the restaurant 4 out of 5. It provided a very good, typically Swiss buffet breakfast and a pleasant pasta meal on our first evening. It was very quiet and we enjoyed friendly, personal service. However, on another evening, the Caesar salad was underwhelming. Our server was kept very busy as the restaurant was very full and there was, let’s say, a misunderstanding, about our wine order, which resulted in us paying quite a bit more than we expected. The city centre is very historic, interesting and attractive to wander around. There’s plenty of choice of restaurants and cafes. From the main station you can reach the Rheinfalls via two alternative local stations - Schloss Laufen and Neuhausen Rheinfall. You can also take a train along the Rhine valley to places like Stein am Rhein and lake Konstanz, or get to Zurich quite easily.

Literally across the street from the train station which is great for weary travellers who don't want to waste time locating their hotel. Walking distance to the Rhybadi where one can swim in the Rhine. Great breakfast offering both Swiss and North American breakfast options. Old town's edge is one street away. Helpful staff.The apples, water and chocolate in the room on arrival is just right for peckish travellers tired of airplane food. Mini-grocery store in the train station across the street was handy for when we needed food, but did not want a restaurant meal. Being able to leave bags with the front desk after checkout but before an afternoon train gave us the chance to explore some more, but without having to drag suitcases around. Have stayed here before - will stay here again.

A Retro Gem with Modern Comfort: A Stellar Stay at Sorell Hotel Rueden I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Hotel, and I must say, it was a very nice experience. This charming establishment, which has recently undergone an impressive renovation, seamlessly blends retro aesthetics with modern comforts. The result is a delightful ambiance that transports you back in time while providing all the amenities you could need. The warm and friendly reception staff insuring a smooth and hassle-free check-in process and some advice for town orientation. The room was comfortable, well equipped, and with a view of the city from the window. The breakfast was very nice. the location is in the heart of the old town.
