Excellent one night stay in Aarau
I had an excellent stay at the Kettenbrücke while hiking in the area. The room was well appointed and comfortable, the staff I was in contact with were all welcoming and professional, the breakfast buffet was good and the hotel is within easy reach of everything. The only thing I didn't like so much is not something that the hotel can do anything about: Aarau is a quite a noisy town with a lot of cars passing at relatively high speed. I usually sleep with the window open, and unfortunately it was not possible that night.

Stylish, central 4-star hotel
The modern hotel is located right in the center of the picturesque city of Aarau. It has a cute rooftop, delicious breakfast buffet and we saw part of the river from our room. The front desk staff is super friendly and helpful and our room was elegant and comfortable.
