The room was just perfect, hotel not far from train station , the attached cafe was the best with the most fabulous workers plus the ladies that worked in the hotel for checking in were amazing
Very happy with the visit. Was just on a travel through switzerland and the parking and the speedy automatic (machine based) checkin made everything smooth. The standard was great.
Excellent facilities. Room was perfect
Only complaint: the check-in is processed at a machine and the machine didn’t provide the room number. Thank you to the cleaning lady who gave us the number
Didn’t like self-check-in. Typing personal info on a kiosk outside on a sidewalk is not safe.
Parking was “iffy” -if you could find a park place.
Room was very clean & having a an actual wash cloth with the towels was great!
Missed not having a small refrigerator in room
Not many options in the area. Flooring is just stuck on and slippery! Had to ask them to make it safer to walk on w/ quick reclean. No AC, loud construction out of window. The plus is that they have a cute bar/snack room downstairs. But we walked to an Italian restaurant near Migros that was excellent.
Small comfortable rooms in a quite area
Bbreakfast and wifi ok

An ok stay but we didnt see any staff during our stay as the reception has very limited hours (we stayed Friday-Sunday) so it felt quite anonymous.
Other guests were clearly smoking in the communal areas as there was an unpleasantly strong smell of smoke in the corridor outside our room.

Saubere Unterkunft. Gute Lage zum Bahnhof. Leider an der Hauptstraße des Ortes.
Check in am Automat hat gut funktioniert.
Parkplatz verfügbar oder Tiefgarage gegen Gebühr.
Der Check in war mühsam .. nur ein Online-Terminal und die Buchung war nicht zu finden .. ohne Internet unmöglich .. die Buchungsnummer steht auf keinem Dokument .. Check in steht im Internet auf 14 Uhr .. laut Personal ist sie erst 15 Uhr ..
Der Self Check Automat draussen ist ein absolutes no Go. Da die Temperaturen um den Gefrierpunkt waren hat der Touchscrean kaum reagiert. Wir standen 20 Minuten bei eisiger Kälte vor dem Automaten bis es endlich klappte!!
Ich habe mit meiner Frau 5 Tage im Hotel Rubus gewohnt. Es war alles zu unserer Zufriedenheit, lediglich der Wasserhahn am Waschbecken hat nur ganz schwer funktioniert, was ich an der Rezeption reklamiert habe. Leider konnte der Schaden während meines Aufenthalts nicht repariert werden.Ansonsten war alles o.K., und ich werde auch gerne wiederkommen.
