    Pros +

    • Huge parking, great for motorcycle. In the centre of the little town, their restaurant was great. All the staff were really friendly & welcoming. Room not huge but fine for an overnight. Would stay here again if needed.
    • Newly renovated, old town house charm. Excellent location in the center of the old town. We love the restaurant. Even when we don’t stay the night here, we always stop by the restaurant when we’re hiking or bicycling through the area.
    • Simple yet modern and clean hotel room with river view. Very comfortable bed. Good breakfast and coffee. There is a good restaurant in the hotel. Staff was attentive and friendly. It was a great stay and we will come back.

    Cons -

    • The breakfast room can be a bit crowded and hectic. I also remember the breakfast being somewhat better other times when we stayed.
    • There was nothing we didn't like.
    • No mini bar / fridge in the room

    Very nice hotel, newly renovated, friendly staff

    No mini bar / fridge in the room

    8MichaelPosted on: 11-14-2024

    Location was fine, room very clean and comfortable, staff in reception was kind and professional. Free parking is s big advantage.

    Breakfast very poor, we arrived 7.30 (half hour after opening) only one half tomato back in the heat box, scrambled egg was cold and the bacon was burned. Staff don’t checked anything, busy talking internal and not very kind.

    7NathaliePosted on: 11-8-2024

    The only thing I liked about the hotel was the guy working at the reception.

    Breakfast was always understaffed, and the waitresses were extremely rude every single morning, also at dinner the staff were extremely unfriendly.

    8JohnPosted on: 9-26-2024

    The location and meals were good. staff were very friendly despite being very busy

    Our room seemed very tired, although good. Might do with updating

    10ChangPosted on: 8-25-2024

    Balsthal is a peaceful and beautiful small town, perfect for spending a wonderful day. You can hike to the castle and enjoy a panoramic view of the town from the top. The Hotel Balsthal is situated just in the heart to the town. Helpful staff, cozy room, nice breakfast buffet.

    Everything is perfect. Nothing to complain about.

    6MichellePosted on: 7-28-2024

    Room was good. Good size and lovely windows. It was also very quiet and parking was easy and right outside the room.

    Food (dinner) was awful. Truly awful and incredibly expensive. The staff in the restaurant didn't speak any English at all so we couldn't even complain!Beautiful windows with a view out to a little stream but loads of mosquitoes.Also although it was a sweet little village there was very little there.

    Room size and decoration, clean, location

    Breakfast can be improved

    9PaulPosted on: 7-15-2024

    - Great staff- Great breakfast- Great location passing through Switzerland

    Yes the food at the restaurant was quite expensive but this is Switserland

    8SruthanachPosted on: 7-5-2024

    Middle of the road three star hotel with pleasant combined restaurant/cafe/bar serving pleasant food. Simple but nicely-appointed room with comfortable bed, ideal for a stopover on the Jura Crest Trail.

    10PABLOPosted on: 6-26-2024

    Exceeded my expectations. The room was newly renovated, the bathroom was huge, with high end touches and great design. Spacious and confortable

    The rooms leading to the street get a bit of traffic early in the weekday morning. Buy with the window closed it should be fine.

    7VanessaPosted on: 6-23-2024

    Good value for money (booked via Booking.com with free room upgrade, also free parking and breakfast included). Historic building in central location, Holzweg reachable by foot.

    Staff slightly disorganized (room only made up for 1 person despite having booked for 2, dinner reservation not shared by reception with restaurant staff). Winter bedding in June, made it too hot to sleep

    9GillianPosted on: 6-20-2024

    Welcoming, friendly, helpful staff. Comfortable, large, well appointed room with great shower. Location perfect for us, plenty of parking with public transport and two supermarkets nearby. Excellent breakfast with a really good choices on offer. We have stayed here several times and look forward to our next visit.

    10DimitriPosted on: 6-10-2024

    Amazing people welcoming us, they were fully ready to host us with our bikes and all the mud we brought : water hose for cleaning, a proper area to store the bikes for the night, stacked newspapers to help us dry our shoes and clothes. The heating was accessible inside the room to help dry everything faster. Great experience, thank you!!

    9AntonPosted on: 5-28-2024

    Amazing breakfast and they have a great storage for your bikes when touring. Very kind staff.

    9UrsPosted on: 5-16-2024

    Was my 2nd stay: Big family room - great breakfast & friendly staff - nice location near the river - good dining facilities & lounge

    Nobody at the reception for check in - would not have been any problem as information about the 'self-check in' via key pick-box and the code was sent timely. However, the description about the key-box location was not intuitiveRegulator for the shower-control (on-off / hot-cold) was broken - showering was a bit challenging, but we managed :-)

    10Octavian D.Posted on: 5-12-2024
