When looking for a somewhere to stay in Switzerland near Zurich, I kept my eyes open for a place with a little more character outside of the actual city of Zurich. This place really fit the bill! The host was very friendly, and our room felt like our own really nice apartment in Switzerland. The room actually had 2 beds, one of which the in-laws (who hadn't yet reserved a room) really had their eye on (though we decided it was best they stay elsewhere...) The room was modern, very spacious, and had lots of character. My husband and I both agreed this was one of the best places we stayed on our 2 week trip to Europe.

Read moreMy wife and I stayed here in Jan/Feb 2015 whilst I was having medical treatment nearby. Over this period we stayed in both the studio apartments both of which are clean, characterful, well equipped and very comfortable. We felt very at home particularly as we could keep up with English news and familiar tv programmes on the satellite tv system as well as a good internet connection. Jan and Maja are perfect friendly hosts and are always willing to help and advise. The Blue Wall is a good travel base situated in a quiet and attractive part of Gebendstorf which as well as providing attractive walks along the river is also close to the local rail station in Brugg as well as quick access to the motorway network. We would recommend the Blue Wall...
