We did not get a good night's sleep here. It was a hot night and there was only one window in the room that opened onto the street. This meant that: 1) our room was inundated with cigarette smoke from the restaurant downstairs; and 2) the streetlights kept us awake (if you closed the blackout curtain, no air got it.) The mattresses on the bed were cheap and uncomfortable with only one thick blanket, which wasn't appropriate for the weather. The rest of the room was very bare bones. We picked this hotel because we thought it would be cute to stay in old town Chur, but it really wasn't. Not sure if there are better options in Chur, but I would keep looking!
El sitio es súper original, una cárcel restaurada, en el patio hay bicis, un restaurante y unas vistas chulísimas de la torre y las montañas. Está a 10 minutos de la estación de trenes, se llega fácilmente andando. Las habitaciones son compartidas, al menos la que cogimos nosotros, con 2 literas. Las camas son muy cómodas y todo está muy limpio. Dentro de la habitación hay un pequeño aseo. En cada planta hay unas 3 habitaciones, que comparten cocina común y un baño más grande con ducha. Llegamos muy tarde y nos fuimos muy temprano, por lo que no pudimos coincidir con el staff, pero por vía online fueron majísimos y atentos. Los chicos del restaurante, que son ajenos al albergue, fueron muy amables ayudándonos a encontrar la habitación, ya que el equipo del albergue ya no estaba. Me encantaría volver para quedarme varios días!
We chose this hotel as we were trying to stick to a budget, and this fitted in nicely. Slightly worried that the accommodation is made for a budget traveller as we like to splash out on our hotels……however we needn’t have worried! Sure enough, this is no 5* hotel however it is located extremely conveniently in the old town right next to all the things you would want to visit…..with excellent views of the snow capped Alps. The reception team were courteous, gave us all the sufficient information we needed and allowed us to store our luggage whilst we waited for our room to be ready. Once in the room, it was actually very large with two single beds next to each other. Crisp white sheets and a softer than I would have liked mattress, but comfortable nonetheless. Plenty of storage space, little biscuits placed on our pillows and plenty of warm heat coming from the radiators. Separate bathroom which had plenty of hot water, not the strongest of pressure coming out but adequate. The reception team are on hand until 2200pm, but they give you a key to access the hotel once they lock the doors. The room was pretty sound proof, but you could hear others guests in the hallway which wasn’t really bothersome. The lift is very small but fitted two people in plus luggage, but there are stairs up to reception so that part isn’t very accessible if you can’t do stairs. The hotel is only 7 minute walk to the train station which was super convenient for catching our 0828am Bernina Express train! Overall a very nice stay! One word of warning - check your booking includes en-suite bathroom, not all rooms have en-suite.
While this hotel was acceptable with no deal breakers, I don’t believe it deserves a 4 star rating. Perhaps this was given due to its history and Michelin rated restaurants. Had it been rated a 3 star, I might have given it a better review. The good - staff were courteous and helpful. The hotel was an easy walk from the train station and well located in the historic center near shops and restaurants. The mediocre - the rooms, clean and sizable if you paid for it, but in no way special. The breakfast was perfectly acceptable with variety, but again, nothing special (croissants were fresh and delicious). The bad - while the hotel was generally clean, the carpet on the public stairs was kind of disgusting. No A/C anywhere. In July this could be a problem for some. The nights were quite pleasant and you could leave your window open if you don’t mind the noise. They do provide you with a floor fan, which was great for us Americans used to AC.
