Hotel berhampiran Thermalbad, Zurzach

Position very far from town, difficult to found. New building not finished , no concierge present an evening and night, only at the phone. Room wide and pretty, but with problem at heating.

Masterfully managed by the highly experienced Swiss GM Marco Saxer who has an international career experience, this Provencal-coloured hotel is quiet and noise-free even outside, and offers rooms that are pleasant to live in, with enough space to make you feel at home. The bedding is comfortable and impeccable. Coffee machine and soft drinks (beer, sodas, etc.) in the fridge are provided free of charge the first time. The bathrooms are a little dated but perfectly maintained, only their ceilings need to be renovated/refreshed. The restaurant offers an interesting and varied menu, and its outdoor area is very pleasant. The dishes are beautifully presented and the freshness of the produce is much appreciated. One small downside: the terrace under the three-hundred-year-old lime tree, the hotel's mascot, is no longer accessible. This needs to be corrected, as the shady location is ideal for lunch and evenings in summer. Situated 30 minutes in car from Zurich Airport and on the outskirts of Baden's historic old town on the banks of the River Limmat, within walking distance of the hotel, this establishment is well worth a visit.

auberge bien placée, propre bon accueil, propre mais chambre sans charme sans tele et bruyante salle de bain commune, tres propre prix correcte. parking facil d acces et l hotel se trouve a 10 minutes a pieds du centre au ville

A wonderful stay in a unique and historic hotel. Every bedroom is different and you enter through sound proof doors on the indoor balcony. Spotlessly clean and cool rooms. Bird song fills the atrium. We did not eat in the restaurant but had a substantial breakfast. No indoor bar, but drinks outside the front door.Car parking is around the corner 5-7 mins in a public car park. At the time we were there, the building next door was being renovated, so building noise is inevitable. A quirky but very enjoyable experience.

Visiting the area, I chose this hotel for its convenient access by public transport - bus every 15min to downtown Baden - and reasonable price - cheaper than in the city centre. My overnight stay was excellent. A big thumbs-up for the whole staff: whether at reception or during breakfast, each team member was smiling and helpful. The room reflected the usual Ibis standards. Bed and mattress of good quality - I slept perfectly well. Congrats for the soundproofing which is truly excellent: despite the busy road passing by and the motorway just at the back of the hotel, I did not hear any noise at all. Compared to other Ibis hotels, this property is offering air-conditioning in all rooms - much appreciated during the hot days. As usual in Switzerland, room and bathroom spotlessly clean. Thumbs-up for the breakfast offer with a generous and tasty buffet: Various breads and Danish pastries from local bakeries, Swiss cheese, cold cuts, yoghurt and birchermuesli, fresh fruit salad, various preserves. Even scrambled eggs are available. All in all, an excellent and tasty experience, better than in other Ibis properties. This is an excellent address for a stay in Baden, with outstanding value for money. I will gladly come back.

Hôtel très confortable. Magnifique salle de bain avec douche italienne. Machine à café et à thé à l'étage : très pratique. Excellente ambiance grâce à un personnel très attentionné, aimable et professionnel. Petit déjeuner de rêve. Très bon rapport qualité prix. A recommander sans réserve.

We were on the 12th floor of this strange tower block hotel with a great view of Baden, but there was no air conditioning and the fan was all floppy so we had to hold it up with a prop. The room was not super clean. There was a kettle but only one cup and one tea bag for two people. When I went to reception for more tea bags the guy on reception was trying to serve a whole bunch of people in the restaurant and forgot about me. Resources are spread too thin. Back to the room: most of the UK channels on the list of available channels to watch did not work. Breakfast was not great. Processed ham and cheese portions on separate plates wrapped with cling film. No one present to serve coffee - had to go and find someone in the restaurant on the floor below. There was no cooked breakfast. My husband asked for scrambled egg and the answer was « No because of Covid ». We could not see the connection between Covid and scrambled egg. Staff were friendly, however.

I stayed in a pod after arriving back on a late flight, instead of driving home at midnight. The pod was nice, very comfortable. The temperature was marginally too warm for me however, and you can't change the settings. That's where the positive experience ended. My phone charging port didn't work - that's fine - I can overlook that, but it's not ideal I was woken at 4.30am by people getting up and ready for the early morning flights. They were crashing and banging around with the doors and fiddling around with their luggage. Ultimately I couldn't get back to sleep because of the continued crashing and banging and ultimately only got 3.45 hrs sleep (I know this because my fitness tracker tells me so). So it was completely pointless staying - I would have got a better night's sleep at home with my 3 year old and 10 month old in the room next door. I believe the hotel's model doesn't work for the following reasons: 1) Each pod has a door with a very noisy latch. The latch doesn't have to be noisy if people are considerate, but a lot of people aren't considerate at the best of times, let alone at 4am in the morning when getting up for an early flight. It's all well and good to have lots of signs saying ”shh!” On the walls, but most people don't see it, or at least it doesn't sink in. I stayed in a capsule hotel on Japan that has roller blinds instead of doors, which are much quieter 2) people are allowed to bring their luggage into the sleeping space. This invites people to fiddle around with their luggage, which disturbs others from their sleep. Again, in the pod hotel in Japan, people must lock their luggage in lockers in the changing rooms, and are not allowed to take anything into the sleeping space - it works much better 3) the hotel has plenty of separate rooms, with a number of pods in each. Why not allocate guests to rooms by their time of arrival and departure, so that late arrivers don't disturb early departures, and vice versa? Overall, if the above 3 things are fixed, I'd probably stay again, but otherwise, definitely not
