This was our favourite hotel on our week long cycling tour of Lake Constance. We were met by a very friendly receptionist who offered us complimentary soft drinks and ice cream on arrival (the ice cream needed eating up!). …

Booked a standard room for two nights at Sorell Hotel Rüden in early April 2023. Charming boutique hotel in the city center of Schaffhausen. It is a short walk to/from the train station.I checked-in after 8:00 pm. Good check-in/out experience. The guest agent that handled my check-in was friendly and thorough. Great customer service skills!My room was cozy and clean. I was informed at check-in that neither a kettle nor coffee maker is a standard room amenity. Overall my stay at Sorell Hotel Rüden was decent. The reception desk closes at 10 pm.

Charming hotel in a renovated building near the city center which is great because parking, shopping and dining are all in very close walking distance. The room was small but very well laid out and did not feel cramped. …

Friendly staff, good breakfast selection with delicious coffee. Liked our room on the 3rd floor. Beautiful staircase, but there is an elevator, too! They are completely remodeling the bathrooms later this year, but the current one still feels modern and fresh. They carry Rituals amenities in the bath, a nice touch.

Really enjoyed my stay. The rooms are very clean and tidy. Is really refreshing as this is certainly not the case at other hotels that i have stayed at. The rooms are not huge but perfect for what I required. …

In this hotel, you immediately feel welcome. Service is very friendly and you feel the sincere care for their guests.Food quality is also very good.Rooms are good but you will regret there is no air conditioning - ventilators are there to help but still, room temperature in sunny summer days is a challenge.Well located in the center.

Very cool modern rooms built inside an old skeleton - exposed wood beams and stone add style. Front staff was very friendly and helpful. Delicious breakfast. We were just a few steps away from the charming Swiss village downtown area.

Good location, close to the train station and in the edge of the old town. Friendly staff and good breakfast. There is also a nice view from some of the rooms to the old town. Rooms are tiny, especially the room in floor 5 where we stayed which looks more like an attic than a room. The bed could not comfortably fit two adult people. Like many small European hotels it has no aircon which makes it very unpleasant in the hot summer days. Its time to consider the climate changes in Europe and add aircon to every hotel as a standard.

Friendly, helpful team, comfortable room, I had to ask for more towels but this was not a problem. No bath, apart from that a nice shower. Breakfast is continental only, with scrambled or boiled eggs if you ask. The hotel is within walking distance to the Old Town.
