Aarauerhof - Self Check-in offers rooms that vary in size with some being notably spacious and others rather small. Many guests appreciate the clean and practical nature of most rooms, complemented by comfortable beds and adequate amenities for short stays. The self check-in process is often mentioned as convenient. However, it is evident that the hotel suffers from a few recurring issues.
While some rooms have been recently renovated and are well-maintained, others show signs of aging with worn furnishings and occasional maintenance problems. Nieghborhood noise and poor sound insulation are common complaints, exacerbated by windows that do not adequately block out traffic sounds. The lack of air conditioning is a significant issue, causing rooms to be uncomfortably hot, particularly in warmer weather.
Bathrooms often fall on the smaller side and may suffer from minimal ventilation issues. Some rooms also come equipped with fans, though these are not always sufficient. Despite these drawbacks, the cleanliness of rooms is generally praised. However, inconsistent housekeeping and a lack of staff presence can be problematic.
The location is a plus for business travelers with easy access to surrounding areas, but it tends to contribute to the noise issues due to proximity to the main road and train station. Overall, Aarauerhof may be suitable for a short stay or if seeking convenience, but the myriad of issues ranging from temperature control to noise may need addressing for a more comfortable experience.
Guests at Aarauerhof - Self Check-in frequently praised the comfortable beds, describing them as great, cozy and in tip-top condition. Many guests found the beds and mattresses to be sufficiently sized, warm and accommodating for a good night's sleep. The single rooms with big beds received positive remarks and the bedding quality was often highlighted as excellent.
However, opinions on the firmness of the beds varied. Several guests mentioned that the beds were too soft for their liking with some noting that the single mattress in the double bed could be uncomfortable. Issues such as the bed becoming a heat trap, pillows being too soft and occasional bed shaking were also mentioned. Despite these minor concerns, the overall sentiment leaned towards the beds being very good and providing a comfortable sleeping experience.
Aarauerhof - Self Check-in has been a topic of mixed reviews when it comes to cleanliness.

The well-maintained state of the rooms and the helpfulness of the cleaning staff were highlighted, contributing to the hotel's overall clean and cozy atmosphere. Guests appreciated spotless environments that gave a sense of safety and comfort.
However, the reviews also pointed out areas needing improvement. Some guests reported that certain rooms were not up to standard with specific mentions of dirty ventilation systems, stained curtains and marked walls. Issues such as dust mites in pillows, dirty carpeting in hallways and unclean panoramic windows raised some hygiene concerns. Specific complaints included lightly soiled toilet seats, sticky floors and untidy common areas with scattered newspapers. The cleaning frequency and thoroughness seemed inconsistent with some areas being overlooked, ultimately suggesting that while many rooms are very clean, there is still room for housekeeping improvements.

At Aarauerhof - Self Check-in, the friendly and accommodating nature of the staff stands out prominently. Guests frequently praise the breakfast staff, highlighting the superb service and extreme friendliness of the lady at the breakfast buffet, often describing her as excellent, attentive and deserving of top ratings. Cleaners and other support staff receive commendation for their helpfulness and responsiveness.
However, reviews reveal that the hotel's self-check-in system contributes to a somewhat impersonal experience with many guests noting the absence of staff at key times, such as check-in and reception. The lack of on-site staff means that assistance is often provided via phone, which, while generally helpful, does not fully compensate for the personal touch of in-person interactions. This model leads to occasional inconveniences, such as difficulty in changing rooms or resolving issues immediately.
Despite these challenges, when staff interactions do occur—whether over the phone or in person—they are marked by friendliness and a genuine effort to assist guests. Cleanliness receives positive mentions, contributing to an overall satisfactory stay for many visitors. The hotel’s efficient and courteous staff, when available, enhance the guest experience, even if their physical presence is minimal.
Aarauerhof - Self Check-in offers free Wi-Fi with some guests highlighting it as very good and sufficiently fast and stable, ideal for work with a strong signal in certain areas. However, there are mixed experiences regarding its reliability and coverage. Some guests noted spotty performance with consistent connectivity mainly available in the lobby or corridors rather than in the rooms. A few reviews mentioned difficulties in accessing Wi-Fi, such as needing to request the WLAN password via email and occasional failures in connection, impacting TV services and room internet use. Despite these issues, positive experiences focus on good internet when available.
Visitors to 'Aarauerhof - Self Check-in' have varied experiences regarding parking. The hotel offers generously sized parking spaces in an underground garage directly located beneath the accommodation. However, the cost of parking is often noted as being quite expensive with fees reaching CHF 24 per day and sometimes higher. Guests mention that the parking fees feel relatively high and that no discounts are available. Moreover, the underground parking lot at the neighboring CFF train station is also described as costly.
Finding the parking garage can be a hassle, as signage is not well-marked and instructions for accessing the parking are not clearly explained. Some guests found the lack of a receipt from the payment machines inconvenient. Despite the generously sized spaces, the high cost remains a point of contention for many. For those arriving by car, it is easy to locate the hotel-assigned parking spaces, although using the elevator to reach the lobby is not permitted.
Street parking is an alternative, but the convenience and availability can vary with some visitors finding it difficult to secure a spot. The underground garage is equipped with a locked bicycle storage room, adding a bit of security for those traveling with bikes. Considering the expensive parking fees and the hassle some guests encounter, other nearby hotels with free parking options might present a more cost-effective stay for those traveling by car.
