Pros +
- Breakfast had no fruit, Room had no air conditioning and was very hot, location was excellent
- Very comfortable hotel, i had very nice stay, quite in front of the railway station, clean. Breakfast was good and very elegant. i appreciate everything, free and fresh drinkable water.
- Great location, nice breakfast, nice staff, lovely town
Cons -
- More variety for breakfast
- They should not market this as wellness. You need to walk 10 minutes to get to a small fitness with some wellness
- Only one thing I can think of: I arrived on Saturday and on Sunday I was very very happy to find butterzopf (a Swiss braided bread) served for breakfast. I was looking forward to having it again on Monday morning but apparently it was only served on Sundays. Breakfast was still very nice but I missed the zopf!

I had stayed at Hotel Speer a number of times before, many years ago, when it used to be a Best Western Hotel. Many years later I wanted to stay in Rapperswil again and saw that it had become a Sorell Hotel. The entire hotel has been renovated, and it will definitely be the first place I will check out on my next visit to Zurich. The rooms are great; the service was wonderful. Breakfast was superb. Rapperswil is my favorite place in Switzerland, and the hotel is literally right across the street from the Rapperswil train station, so location-wise it can't get better than this! Wonderful staff, very kind and helpful.

The staff at the breakfast was very friendly and so was the check in staff
I think more focus on in room cleaning is needed
The hotel has been renovated recently, so the room was modern and comfortable. The toilet was very high-end, with shower function. Breakfast was very good.
Communication between the on-site (but admittedly independent) restaurant and the hotel front desk is not good.
The comfort and the lovely staff.special thanks to welcoming front desk person Melissa, and breakfast gentleman.
Room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was nice, but little bit less choice than expected. Location is really good, in the city center, just across the main train station. Garage in the vicinity of the hotel, with access only for the hotel guests.
Unfortunately we stay during reconstruction, so there was noise a little bit earlier than expected.
Very good
We got woken up at 8 by builders Renovating the room above us then at 9 with drills and this on a Saturday, they should really inform you when you book because we would have stayed somewhere else.
Excellent breakfast, friendly staff, good location
Couldn't get an English channel on TV. Staff apologetic but weren't able to fix it
Position, facilities, cleanliness, helpful staff
Nothing to complain about
The only thing that we liked was the destination near the centerNothing else was special
For the price we payed the rooms might have been better kept.The breakfast was bad It wasn’t like it was shown in the photos
Very close to train station, old town and very good bars and restaurants.
Hotel is located just opposite the train station and next to the touristic area with many restaurants and nice atmosphere . Room was nice with double bed. Breakfast was very nice with good varaiety of things to choose from.
My room was at the end of the corridor and WIFI was not strong enough. I was given a LAN cable but this connection did not work.
Outstanding helpfull staff.Locationwise perfect.
The noise of the traffic just outside the entrance.
Staff at reception desk super friendly and committed, room very comfortable, beds were super. We had a room at the quiet side of the hotel which was great, since the road in front can be quite busy. On-site "general Asian food" restaurant is very convenient and offers a broad selection, good quality, nice place. Overall, a very pleasant place to stay in the old centre of a beautiful town, at a stone's trow distance from where the boats depart.
Not meant as complaint since we knew all of this in advance and it's all not really important: no on-site parking - the parking garage with places reserved for the hotel is a short walk away; no walk-in shower, but in bathtub (good anti-slip though, so safe enough); road in front quite busy; and high prices although justifiable in this area.
The location of the hotel is fantastic, so close to the old town. the lake and to bars and restaurants. The train station is front is a big bonus as well. Very nice and helpful staff. A very nice choice during breakfast.
I made a tea with the coffee machine in the room, there was some water left in the plastic container at the back of the machine. This container must have a crack or something because when I got up in the morning the desk was full of water.I also couldn't make any of the foreign tv channels work. I also wasn't aware that, as a guest, I had access to a nearby gym. A colleague told me this information was in the website but it would be a nice idea to have that explained as well during check in.
The room was immaculate ( in almost new condition). Breakfast was very good and the buffet had a good selection of hot food, breads, cheese, meat, juices etc. All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Excellent location.
The room had no toiletries or tea/coffee making facilities but these were provided after being pointed out to the desk staff. The beds were good but the pillows were not very comfortable and the TV lacked channels in anything other than German (except for 1 or 2).
Great breakfast, excellent location, big comfortable room. Excellent place for City and around tourist attractions visit
Good location, nice staff, clean hotel
Strange smell in the room, room needs updated decor
