Gilde Restaurant & Hotel Zunfthaus zur Rebleuten — Restaurant in Chur

LOCATION: Zunfthaus zur Rebleuten is conveniently located at Pfisterplatz 1, most places of interest are within easy walking distance. Chur Station is about 600m away and can be reached on foot in under 10 minutes. ||If arriving on public transport, go down Bahnhofstrasse after you exit from station, continue onto Grabenstrasse followed by Nicolaigasse till you reach Kornplatz, turn in at Herrengasse and you will find Zunfthaus zur Rebleuten facing the Pfister fountain. This route goes along the periphery of Old Town pedestrian zone, thus avoiding the hassle of dragging unwieldy suitcases over cobblestoned streets as you’d be on level ground or pavement for most of the way.||OVERVIEW: The historic building was originally a guildhall dating back to 1464, it has since been refurbished and converted into a small independent inn. This quaint property is steeped in history and full of quirks: the sloping floors, crooked walls, slanting ceilings and exposed wooden beams all add to its authenticity and charm! ||ROOM: Each of the 13 rooms has its own unique layout and décor – not all have ensuite facilities so be sure to check the room description when booking online. ||Classic Twin Room was clean and simply furnished with twin beds; pair of bedside tables & reading lamps; wall-mounted TV over a small desk with lamp & chair; wardrobe; and full-length mirror on wall. Tower Fan came in handy during the summer heatwave.||BATHROOM: Retro ‘70s style but clean and adequate in size. Furnished with the usual mirror over wash basin, shower stall and toilet. Faint odour in bathroom at times but not pervasive nor unbearable – perhaps some issues with drainage or plumbing? ||Shower Stall might be a tight fit for guests of larger build but such compact size is quite normal by Swiss standards, especially in older buildings. There was good water pressure and plentiful hot water. Clean bath linen, toilet rolls, box of tissues and basic toiletries e.g. liquid soap provided. ||F&B: Breakfast Service is 7:30-10:30 and served in Zunftsaal, a traditional dining room with terrace on the 1st floor. Buffet breakfast comprises small selection of breads with jams & butter, cereals and fruits. Assorted cheeses and cold cuts are available on request. Eggs are prepared à la minute according to your preference. Beverage choices include orange juice, milk, tea & coffee. ||Situated next to the Reception is Zunftstube, a member of the Swiss Gilde of Established Restaurants. Guests can enjoy innovative cuisine made with fresh produce as well as excellent service & ambiance here. Closed on Tuesdays and only Dinner Service for Wed~Sat. Please check online for Opening Hours.||Classico ApéroBar on the ground floor is open till late and popular with smokers. Those sensitive to noise or tobacco, please note that cigarette smoke may waft up to rooms and it could get quite noisy, especially on weekends.||SERVICE: Front Desk is not manned all the time, inform Hotel of your ETA in advance so they can provide info on how to collect key card and access your room. ||Front Desk staff are multilingual and obliging. Room was ready for early Check-In as requested and upon Check-Out, they allowed me to stow luggage for a few hours before my onward journey. The gentleman on duty that week was especially patient and helpful, appreciate the cordial hospitality and kind assistance rendered.||FACILITIES: Typical of such historic buildings, there is No Lift so try to travel light or request for a room on lower floor if you foresee any problem with lugging bags up & down several flights of stairs.||Free WiFi is available throughout the property. On the 3rd floor is a Self-Service Beverage Corner where guests may enjoy complimentary tea & coffee. Next to the Terrace is a Smoking Lounge (Fumoir) with fireplace - seems like a cosy place for smokers to relax.||IN SHORT: Zunfthaus zur Rebleuten is a quaint historic property with loads of quirks & charm. It offers clean, functional rooms at reasonable rates. Its central location in the heart of Old Town makes this an excellent choice for visitors keen to explore Chur, a captivating city rich in...

The hotel is in a medieval building in the middle of the old town and full of characters. Our room faced the little square with a fountain. It was small and basic, but charmingly decorated.||The dinner we had was exceptionally good, and the service was great! The staff were all very friendly and helpful.||However… as with many old buildings, the hotel doesn’t have a lift. The ground floor is a cafe, the first floor is a restaurant, and the guest rooms are from the second floor upwards. The photos of rooms looked as if all the en-suite bedrooms were on the upper floors, so we booked a room with shared bathroom on the lower floor (although it turned out at least one of the rooms on our floor had an en-suite - we had a peek!). There was only one toilet and one shower room shared with 6 rooms which was a bit awkward. Also, the rooms had auto lock doors, so we had to make sure we had a key card every time we went to the toilet.||The beds were pretty to look at, but not very comfortable. They creaked every time we moved even slightly.||The breakfast was OK, but could have done with more choices. It was a bit disappointing because the dinner the previous evening was so good!||All in all, it was OK for one night, but we would have asked for a different room if we were to...
