Sorell Hotel Aarauerhof

Le bruit extérieur est vraiment insupportable la nuit, et notamment le samedi. Les voitures font du rodéo, font tourner kes moteur en surregime, musique à fonds, de même que les motos font du surregime et des démarrages bruyants et rapides. Enfin, la discothèque du rez-de-chaussée de l'hôtel est ouverte jusqu'à 4h, et joue dr la musique très forte avec des basses qui font vibrer les fenêtres et portes. C'est infernal avec kes fenêtres fermées et très chaud.... c'est impossibile avec fenêtres ouvertes.

May 2025 Hello, I’ve just got back from holiday and wanted to share my feedback from our stay. My brother and I stayed 3 nights and I paid for my friend for one night. I also stayed 3 nights and hardly got any sleep during my stay….yes some noise from the Train Station, but mostly from the Discotheque and the bar in the hotel and people slamming doors at 2 :00 a.m. The safe wasn’t working, and I had black mold in the shower. Also I was told parking was included….it wasn’t. This was not the usual quality I’ve experienced in the past… I’m not sure what your policy is but I feel I should get a refund for my stay. They wrote back saying there was nothing to be done despite the fact I used the self check desk ( a joke) to report the problems….

The Covid pandemic has been hard on the service industry and Hotel Aarauerhof has also suffered through it. A change of management and a more bare bones service since our last visit to this Hotel almost three years ago. We took a Junior Suite which was quite spacious and the bathroom also large. The room was however stripped of the conveniences that had once existed. No mini-refrigerator or coffee machine. The basement steam room and sauna which had previously existed were now closed. A bit worryingly there were no staff for large parts of the day and night – and staff seemed to appear only early morning and disappear by lunchtime. The two times we needed some assistance – one on checking in one afternoon, and once late at night - there were no staff at the hotel – which would have been a problem had it been an emergency. There is however a 24 hour number which can be called which is moderately useful. The staff were efficient and friendly. The breakfast was basic and limited but otherwise good. The room looked a bit worn (upholstery faded etc) but the linen was spotless. As the heating was still on (in late April) we needed to crack the window open a bit which made the room rather noisy. The bathroom door didn’t lock properly and the need for maintenance was apparent. The hotel was showing some age and needs some work. Overall the hotel is well priced and functional, but it wasn’t what it used to be some years ago which is a pity because I like it for its excellent location (right next to the Railway station and easy access to the town center).
