Hotel Kronenhof — Hotel in Schaffhausen

This was our 2nd hotel on our trip in Switzerland. |To be completely fair if the weather had not been so hot and some other factors had not happened our stay might had been different. |However! Arrived at the hotel to a building site at the side of the hotel, diggers and massive machinery doing major road and path works. The hotel is on a very busy car park with a large church, also a few little bars as well. I had seen other reviews about the noise and how the hotel supplies ear plugs, but we weren’t expecting this level of noise.|First impression were not great. Room was basic, boring and old fashioned, with vinyl flooring not wooden as described. No kettle or coffee facilities in room and nowhere to make one. When I spoke to the receptionist and said I wasn’t happy about this, she did manage to sort me a kettle, but I had to get cups, spoons from the dining room and buy the stuff I needed to make a coffee. |It was 35c when I was here and the hotel is like an oven. No air con anywhere and staff were sweating so bad and you could see them struggling. Our room was at the front overlooking the carpark/ outdoors restaurant area and church. we couldn't even open our windows late at night when everyone had left the restaurant because the church (dongs) every hour on the hour, it was like the bell was in our room. The Dyson fan in our room had been used that much it was blowing out warm air and pointless. The hotel needs a massive refurbish get rid of the strained carpets and old decor. Creepy 2 person glass lift and very old fashion dining room. The ground floor bar restaurant was nice, and was full with locals. The local school graduation was held the night we stayed so around 60-80 teenagers with their parents were there outside the hotel waiting to go in and then in the main function room of the hotel so you can imagine the noise. |Dint sleep most the night from the heat and noise, lots of guests were going outside for fresh air until the early hours. This was when we noticed a sign on the closed reception saying something like (reception closed, will open at 6.30am) so I think only the guests were in the building, the reception was all locked up and I dint see any security or staff all night, I have never seen this before in any hotel were they lock up and leave.| In the morning the poor receptionist got an ear full from most the guests. Then to make the morning for everyone even worse the road works started digging around 7am. we went for breakfast which was ok, again no aircon anywhere. By 8am we left. |Just one thing after another, was it just a bad...

The hotel is located about a 10 minuet walk from the train station through the pretty town.The area is quiet ,There is a car park to the front and the church next door that seems to have quiet bells.Rooms at the font have a nice view of the Munot ( Fort ) and across the old town. There was no shortage of staff all very friendly and professional. Breakfast was fairly good with cold meats & cheeses etc. The bread was very nice and they had a good variety. The room I had 302 was at the front and fairly spacious with good light. There was no noise from outside and it was warm & comfortable.The only downside I could find was the noise from the bathroom in the room next door. I think the bathrooms were an addition in an old hotel and they didn't put enough soundproofing in so you can hear what is going on in the bathroom.| The restaurant is very good and the food tasty.Service was also good and in the bar too. I would defiantly recommend a stay at this hotel in...

We stayed here in October 2023. This hotel really impressed me! It is now my favorite hotel in Switzerland. Fantastic location, nice included breakfast, comfortable beds, well designed room, quiet. There was even a universal plug adapter in the bathroom! I loved the included spa as well. That was a very welcome surprise. There is a dry sauna, wet sauna and another one. The only headache was parking. I used an app to pay for it and it turned out not to be that much money. The hotel will sell you a voucher for a couple of CHF that lets you park right in front until 11:00 am. The staff is great, very knowledgeable and helpful.

The temperature was comfortable so no need for AC. I have been in Switzerland when it is hot so I can imagine it may not be too comfortable in this hotel during a heat wave. Maybe the hotel has fans...
