These friendly, modern and functional digs with comfortable beds are otherwise unremarkable. Popular with Aarau's limited business clientele, the property is a reliable choice. Cyclists get a discount of Sfr10 on the room rate. Best of all, the property's eponymous restaurant serves hearty Swiss meals on a lovely terrace (in the warmer months).
