I went there and wife was pregnant. At time of check in I asked to see the room and saw there is no air flow or HVAC in the room and said my wife wont be able to stay here. I didn’t checked in and asked for refund so I can stay somewhere else. Person said they will issues refund. It happened in September first week. Till now Expedia is unable to get hold the property manager. I didn’t get my money back yet. Both hotel and Expedia have shown worst service. Stay away from the hotel it is terrible. don’t get trapped with pictures. Plus dont use Expedia. I have used them for 12 years now their service is terrible as well.

Located near the old town where there’s a good choice of restaurants. A big Coop and mall next door. Girl at check-in could be a bit more welcoming (smile). Expensive parking at Chf 2/hour. Good breakfast. Comfortable beds. Only shower gel provided. You may want to bring your own shampoo and body lotion. Free WiFi.

Comfortable with central location
We stayed here for one night. The hotel is in the middle of the new part of Olten. There is car parking facilities at a fee and good breakfast at CFR18.00 per person. The room is comfortable, small but well decorated with good design there is everything needed and it is very clean. They serve a nice Sunday brunch from 11:00am until mid afternoon. I recommend this hotel

Good business hotel slightly let down by WiFi
Nice, popular business hotel, close to the railway station and town centre but not noisy. Restaurant is good but pricey. Breakfast excellent. On the hottest day of the year so foar, either there was no aircon or the controls were too well hidden for me to find. WiFi was pretty flakey.

Nemt og ordentligt med få mangler
Vi havde en enkelt overnatning, 2 voksne og 2 børn. Hotel - vi kom sent om aftenen og det var dejligt at kunne tjekke ind hele døgnet. Check in var hurtig og effektiv, hvilket passede dejligt sent om aftenen med trætte børn. Parkering var foran hotellet, og gratis. Værelset - Vi boede 4 i et familieværelse, som var et nyere værelse, der var pænt og rent. Det var de ting man skulle bruge og Ok med plads til et kort ophold. Som på mange andre hoteller var opbevaringspladsen (garderobe, knager på badeværelset, bordplads) knap, især når man bor 4 på værelset. Vandtrykket i bruseren var lidt lavt. Morgenmad - mindre, men fint udvalg. Til en enkelt morgen eller to var det helt fint. Vores eneste minus var at der ikke blev fyldt op. Vi kom ned 9:15 og der var morgenmad til kl. 10. Der var meget tomt da vi kom og det blev ikke fyldt op. Der kom heller ikke flere gæster ned og spise, men vi manglede en del ting. Opsummering: plus - nemt og ordentlig Minus - manglende opfyldning af morgenmad samt knap med opbevaringsplads. Vi ville godt bruge hotellet igen til et kortere ophold på 1-2 dage.
