The old town of Solothurn is famous for its unity of baroque architecture, with many white stone bases of Solothurn. Very nice fountains. A small town within its walls (only the gates remain) on a human scale and without road traffic: relaxing.

Once again a delight: very nice corner suite with stunning views, with tasteful bathroom. Very pleasant the hotel's own garage (please book in advance). Solothurn is also ideal for trips to the Région des Trois Lacs, the Jura and Bern. We were there this time at a somewhat "loud" time: Autumn Mass. If you close the windows, you won't hear anything about the activity going on late at night. A quite pleasant hotel, a "must" for Solothurn.
