10/10 Excellent

I would highly recommend this hotel
Lee, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The staff was friendly and helpful. The location was great, close to the tram and scenic walks along the Rhine River.
Judith, 5-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Loved the location. We were there for National Swiss Day and ate at the restaurant where we had great food and a front row seat for the fireworks. The staff could not have been more pleasant. They shifted our dinner reservation at the hotel restaurant and provided recommendations for other places. They provided coffee service on each floor. The Hotel is older and could stand newer furnishings, but has character and the beds were comfortable. There is no air conditioning, but we were comfortable even in early August.

10/10 Excellent

Tonia, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The location is great. Breakfast is good. The staff are very friendly and helpful, especially Victoria, she is wonderful. However, the property is very dated, no air conditioning, my room was very small and very basic. The bathroom, which seems it has ben recently renovated, is too small even with the sliding door solution. I don't really know how this hotel was classified as a 4-star hotel.
Yahya, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This was a really great hotel, artistic, roomy, great location but beware construction on the city side was noisy. We had to keep the windows closed.
Chanda, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The Krafft Hotel is a supreme example of preserving something with older charater but at the same time making it fresh, clean and up to date. It has great character. The staff were very helpful and as good as any hotel I have stayed at. The cutomer service was exemplary. Overall, our stay could not have been better.

Staff members were great!!
donald, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

It would have been fair if the hotel shared that there is ongoing construction all around the property from 6 am-6 pm. Rooms facing the city is extremely noisy. After hours until 3 am we heard excessive noise from the bar patrons next door. I requested the river side before we arrived but they were not very helpful after the reservation was made.
