Guests at Gasthof zur Schweiz have shared mixed experiences regarding the hotel's Wi-Fi. While some visitors have reported a fast and functional internet connection, others noted several issues with the Wi-Fi, particularly when staying on the 3rd floor. Many guests found the Wi-Fi in their rooms to be weak or non-functional, sometimes making it difficult for them to work on laptops. The connection seemed to fare better in certain areas like hallways but remained unreliable in many individual rooms. Despite these connectivity challenges, the hotel does offer free Wi-Fi to its guests.
'Gasthof zur Schweiz' presents a notable challenge when it comes to parking for its guests. The available spaces are few, narrow and can be difficult to find. While there are some free parking spots in the hotel's courtyard, these are highly limited— often accommodating only up to six vehicles. Additionally, major obstacles like work vans can further complicate the already limited space. The difficult access to the courtyard parking lot, particularly in inclement weather, adds another layer of inconvenience.
Guests frequently resort to paid public parking options nearby, such as an expensive garage on Krautgasse or paying for street parking. Some highlighted that parking fees should be factored into the overall budget of their stay. While parking descriptions could benefit from clearer communication, it's important to note that the hotel cannot be entirely blamed for these local constraints.
On the positive side, those on motorcycles appreciated the safety and convenience offered by the available parking lot. Despite these few nods of approval, the overarching sentiment underscores the necessity for better parking solutions or clearer advance instructions regarding parking.
