Terminus — Hotel in Brugg

For CHF100+ per night, this hotel offers very little above the most basic requirements. It's difficult to see how my room (see photos) lives up to even the 3-star rating, with its dingy dated furnishings, drab brown decor, and few facilities. ||||Free wifi is unhelpfully restricted to the lobby, so add a further CHF5 per day to your cost to stay here, if you want something as basic as internet access in your room. (CHF10, if you want it for both your phone and laptop, since the CHF5/day cost won't allow more than one device online!). ||||There are no tea/coffee facilities in the rooms, though one complimentary water, cola, or beer is offered per day. The breakfast is a basic continental one.||||Overall, it's expensive (like most hotels in Switzerland), but it is not at the same standard as those in nearby towns and cities, and your money would be better...

The rooms are always spotless and very spacious but they're very outdated and tired looking. They definitely need a revamp, especially as the rooms are quite pricey. However, the hotel is run by a family and the owner, I believe his name is Alfred, is a very friendly host. You get a free drink (includes their regional beer) for every day you stay there, which is nice and thoughtful. Overall, a nice hotel with good location but slightly expensive for what it...

Stayed here a few times before and was pleasantly surprised to find that they have refurbished about half of the rooms. I stayed in one of the modernised rooms, with flat screen TV, high spec. bathroom fittings, decent desk and chair and lots of electrical outlets (although beware that the only socket to take a type E/F plug is in the bathroom, all others only accept type C plugs with the slim plug head surround). Very suitable for a business stay but perhaps still a bit functional for a luxurious holiday/tourist stay. Depends what you're...
