Chur Hostels

Stayed here for one night in between trips on the Bernina Express and the Glacier Express. Whilst surrounded by spectacular mountains, the hotel is situated in a soulless commercial area about 2 minutes west of central Chur by train. There is half hourly train service to / from the centre of Chur (which I found similarly lacking in charm). Finding the entrance to the hotel on arrival at Chur West was not that easy, and improved signage from the station would be helpful for first time visitors. If you are travelling with luggage expect a fair walk uphill and some steps along the way. The adjacent shopping centre looked functional enough albeit that, like 99% of businesses in Switzerland, it was closed on our arrival early on a Saturday evening and all day on the Sunday. The hotel itself occupies the first 9 floors of a tower block which I think may have had residential properties or offices above it. The small lobby area was pleasant enough and our check in was smooth, courteous and polite. The room itself was clean and simply furnished, and it offered a fridge, a coffee maker, plenty of power sockets and a decent shower. Breakfast offered a good variety of items but sometimes in modest quantities, probably reflecting the fact that we seemed to be the only guests dining there on the Sunday morning. Some items were sadly of poor quality (the croissants had a dreadfully fatty taste rather than a buttery flavour) and some were poorly prepared (fleshy, fatty bacon is most undesirable). Whilst it was included in our room rate, the walk in cost of breakfast seemed eye-wateringly high given the shortcomings we experienced. Overall, as I’m unlikely to return to Chur I’d be unlikely to stay here again. If I knew anyone visiting the city I’d be unlikely however to recommend the hotel based on my experience which was nothing more than average.

This is the most expensive hotel on my trip to Switzerland. The breakfast is excellent and the location is near the train station. I ate a few chocolates at the front desk. Recommended, just a little more affordable

When I booked this hotel, I hadn't researched it. I just selected it because it was one of the few rooms still available within driving distance to Davos for the WEF. It turned out to be a lovely experience! The staff was very friendly and accommodating, the room cozy, clean and stocked with all amenities and the rate a bargain! I would highly recommend this hotel and would certainly stay here again.

As a transit point in and out of the mountains, this hotel in Chur is very suitable. The staff is enthusiastic, the service is professional, the sanitary condition of the hotel is very good, and the rooms are big enough. If it is a temporary one-night stay before going to the mountains, it is very suitable. The hardware conditions are average, but since it is a transit hotel, the requirements are not so high. As the first ancient city in Switzerland, Chur still has a special charm. It is good to spend half a day strolling around. In addition, the canton of Graubingen, where Chur is located, is highly recommended. So far, not many Chinese tourists go to skiing in winter and hiking in summer. There are Bernina Express and Glacier Express to sit, and you can also go to the origin of the Rhine to see the canyon and hike. Zurich is also convenient in the past.

We made reservations here at the last minute, picking the hotel for its proximity to the train station. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the hotel. We were there during the middle of the week in the off-season, but the service quality was excellent. We ate at the restaurant (we were among a handful of diners that night) not expecting much given the off-season. But the food was excellently prepared with thoughtfulness and high quality ingredients. It's a large hotel, much larger than we expected. Our room was very spacious and the bathroom was a good size.

We stayed for one night on our way from Italy to Austria. The hotel is in a very convenient location, close to the motorway, with an underground car park (at CHF12 for the night). The guy on reception was extremely helpful (as were other staff at the hotel), including pointing out that he could offer us a free ticket for the local transport, which got us into the old town, for which he also supplied us with a useful map to help us find our way around. We enjoyed sitting out on the balcony of the room (all rooms seemed to have one).

I stayed for 5 nights in January. The car can be parked in front of the room at a motel with a room and lobby away. Be careful on cold days or rainy days. The room was a bit cold for Japanese, but everything I needed was available and I was able to stay comfortably. Breakfast is included in the room rate, so you can have a continental breakfast. There were many military uniforms, probably because it was a base for military movement. In bars and restaurants, English is difficult to understand, but I have a high sensitivity to try to communicate with you. The taste was delicious and the drinks at the bar were brought back to the room so I could drink slowly in the room and relax after work.

An old hotel in the quaint area of Chur. The reception is very small when checking in. The room was quite a good size fairly basic. The bed was two twins pushed together. It was comfortable and the bedding clean and warm. There was reasonable storage. Tv had English channels but the signal was poor. Free wifi. The plug sockets were difficult to access as they were under the bedside tables near the floor. There was a dressing table but no mirror for make up or hair etc. The bathroom was very dated but although the shower was old it was very hot. The breakfast was very basic. The restaurant served good evening meals with large portions . I do think there should be nonslip mats in the bath
