Best Western Plus Hotel Bahnhof

Typical Business hotel. Very friendly staff, very good breakfast. I have been there already several times and it has always been absolutely clean. Location against Railway station is perfect - without any disturbing sounds during night. less

We have flown out of ZRH dozens of times. Sometimes stay at Kloten, but prices are high there (even for Switz) and A/C hard to find at a reasonable price. Tried Schaffhausen this time and can highly recommend the BW Bahnhof. Our relatively large room and bathroom were business-like functional. Most importantly, the A/C was great. Room was dead silent and cool even though facing the Bahnhof and with outside temperatures of 90 plus. And with windows closed throughout the building there is an added bonus, no flies! (often a curse while eating, sleeping etc. in Europe in the summer). Breakfast was quite good with the usual extensive assortment of cheeses, meats, eggs, rolls, etc. Staff was very helpful, for example arranging carry-out coffee and rolls because we left early on the last day. The train is literally across the street and takes 45 minutes and 25 SFr to the airport, in other words only slightly more than from Zurich. As for the city of Schaffhausen, it is well worth a visit of a day or two. Though its surroundings are not as impresive as the more touristed cities (no giant peaks or impressive lake etc.) the old town is extensive and quite interesting. Lots of good restaurants too. The hotel is very convenient to the town. Though European Bahnhofs sometimes attract unusual people, the station at the relatively small town of Schaffhausen seemed relatively quiet and safe. less

It was our first time in town. All the staff was so warm and nice with us at our arrival. Since we came earlier than expected, they kindly offered us to drop off our lagguages and car. After visiting the town, we have got a great surprise by getting a room upgrade to a suite. Excellent service and great hospitality, very comfortable. Nice experience. less

Old hotel that has been tastefully modernised. Very convenient for transport links. Comfortable spacious bedroom with pillow menu. Excellent shower. Everywhere was spotlessly clean. The breakfast choice was limited but freshly prepared. Very near to river Rhine and there is a footpath along the river which leads directly to one of the main local landmarks- the Rheinfall,the largest waterfall in Europe. This takes about an hour. Local buses also pass near to the Rheinfall less

We stayed here for two nights at the start of our trip round central Europe. This hotel - as you might expect from the name - is situated ideally for local transport links. There are issues with the location which I will cover later in the review. This is an old hotel that has been modernised, so that interior is very modern, and almost indistinguishable from thousands of similar establishments across the world. The WiFi is excellent, the breakfast is very good, and the staff are friendly and efficient. Our room on the top floor was perfectly clean, very big, with a rooftop view across the back of the building. The room had a Nespresso machine - great for coffee, but - hoteliers take note - dreadful for tea, as it does not boil the water! My travelling companion noticed a fair bit of noise about 2am, presumably, from the main street, but the bed was such that I slept through it! I doubt that there would be much noise in rooms at the front of the building as the road in front of the hotel is for buses only. The hotel is situated at the top of a short flight of stairs from a lower level passageway that connects the station subway to the town centre. Both evening we were there, there was someone quite openly selling drugs at the top of these stairs - effectively outside the hotel door; the station subway is the main evening hangout for the local youths, which made it very intimidating to pass though - the only reason though that you'd you'd use this subway in the evenings is to get to the convenient local supermarket. This is probably the best hotel in Schaffhausen all things considered, and Schaffhausen is a lovely town. less
