Reviews for Hotel Roter Ochsen

Review 1：Mattress was a bit soft for me.

Review 2：A very beautiful family-run Swiss hotel. Free coffee/tea, buffet breakfast included. At the breakfast I was even offered to take enough food with me for my upcoming 6 hrs road trip, which I mentioned to the manager. Everybody is very nice.

Review 3：As many hotelsin Switzerland, this was also relatively expensive. The floors above our room creeked.

Review 4：free coffee. excellent location, excellent room decoration and furniture.

Review 5：No lift for carrying luggage and noisy floor at times

Review 6：Excellent location, between the train station and the lake. The owners helping tendency, advise for the local visits.Cleaned room with privacy for stay

Review 7：There was nothing bad........except perhaps that I couldn't have stayed longer.

Review 8：Everything. Fantastic hosts who couldn't do enough for me. I had a friend from New Zealand and they insisted that I invite her to breakfast as their guest. Cat-lovers will be enchanted by their little beauty. This 400 year old house has been renovated and refurbished beautifully and sympathetically.

Review 9：Closing hour of the reception between 11 -15

Review 10：located very central in town. clean, modern B&B in a historic house. Friendly host and discrete hospitality

Review 11：Nothing!

Review 12：We stayed our first few nights in the Ramada and when we decided to stay 2 more nights in Solothurn we had to move to the Roter Ochsen because the Ramada was fully booked. Were we ever glad we did! The proprieters are great, the room (Junior Suite) is huge and quiet (I don't think there was anybody in the room above us so I can't speak to others' comments about creaking floors. The breakfast is perfect, and the fact that you can make a great cup of coffee for free at anytime of the day is a surprisingly welcome benefit...when you consider the cost of a cup of coffee out!

Review 13：Cannot fault this - service was fantastic (e.g free coffee whenever you wanted it) books to browse etc; rooms wonderful in recent conversion of 18th century building, wifi excellent everywhere. Breakfast very good; bike stored securely. Would love to return for a longer stay

Review 14：Our room was at the front of the hotel. As it was summer we had the windows open which was very noisy at night with buses going past.

Review 15：Friendly, central, clean. Free coffee. Beer and wine available.

Review 16：No elevator, spiral staircase. Room on street (noisy in morning) because better rooms booked months in advance by regulars. Section of town not very desirable. Very deceptive photography on internet. Furnishings less than Ikea quality.

Review 17：Location good for access to town and train station. Owner took baggage to room for us and was accommodative

Review 18：No lift at this digital age, may be to retain the old style

Review 19：excellent location, very close to river and train station

Review 35：The facilities, the silence, the confort.

Review 36：The door was shorter than my husband. :)

Review 37：The ambiance and location. It was close to the friends we were visiting.

Review 38：We love that you can work to town and the train station. The room is large and spacious for three people.

Review 39：Only downside was the lack of a lift, due to the hotel being in a 400 year old house.

Review 40：Comfortable room and bed. Owners were friendly and helpful. Very atmospheric old building.

Review 41：The bed was too soft for me and I couldn't sleep well (twin size). Sadly, this ruined the overall experience. The breakfast was simple, but comparable to other hotel I visited in Switzerland.

Review 42：The location is quite central, but not directly in the main touristic area. But still, all the restaurants, pubs , etc. are in 5min walking distance. The room was clean and properly equipped. The price was cheap. Close to the train station.

Review 43：If you like to sleep with the windows open, the train noise from the station does carry into the room. Absolutely no noise with the windows shut.

Review 44：Great location, nice extra little touches I.e. 2 x different shower gel choices, extra pillows, complimentary mineral water.

Review 45：Noisy floorboards.

Review 46：Very clean. Nicely restored property. Great beds. Near to train station and to the historical parts of town. Good restaurants nearby (try the Austrian wine cellar just around the corner).

Review 48：close to downtown fairly quiet location refurbished and spacious room good sleeping comfort friendly staff free coffee free selection of morning newspapers bio products

Review 49：Breakfast was good with local and organic food, but it would have been nice with more fruit/veggies.

Review 50：Great modern and very clean rooms. Really friendly staff and great location, just a couple of minutes from the train station and old town. Several restaurants next door and a grocery store closeby.

Review 51：Not suggested for disabled: no lift to reach rooms and also steps inside the room to access the bathroom.

Review 52：Room large, clean and confortable. Good and genuine breakfast. Just a brief walk to the center. Staff kind, gentle and professional (I had a missunderstanding about room rate and they solved with fairness). Suggested!

Review 53：While the wooden floors were quaint, they made too much noise when you walk on them. There was no lift and if you got a room on the 4th floor, prepare to do heavy lifting with the luggage. Also, would have appreciated more bread variety at breakfast.

Review 54：The bed mattress and linens were very good. This hotel is located close to the old city center and there are several restaurant choices just next door.

Review 55：Location is okay as it is very close to the centre of Solothurn, but cars may not enter the street (parking is 5 minutes walk)
