The Best Western Hotel Speer is in a great location in Rapperswil: opposite the train station, and a few steps away from the lake, old town and shops. The staff is very nice and attentive, but the hotel itself is quite standard, and so are the rooms, although the special touch is in the bathroom: a rubber bear courtesy of... More

This is a good hotel located right next to the historic waterfront in old Rapperswil. The rooms are faily basic but clean and comfortable. The front rooms at least have a small balcony with chairs overlooking the lake and train station. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. Parking is just a couple of hundred feet away in... More

We appreciated the warm welcome and the news that we'd been offered a "quiet" room at the rear of the hotel - a busy road in the front could make for a disturbed night, perhaps? Sure enough, our room was clean and comfortable, if a little small. The bathroom was fairly basic but adequate for our requirements and once we'd... More

No downsides but no significant upsides to make it a memorable experience. Hotel location is across the street from the train station so it is very convenient. Reception was very fast and efficient. Unlike many other places in Europe this hotel has high quality Wi-Fi signal in the room. The room was very clean but the made didn't bother to... More

We really enjoyed everything about this hotel - that is until we checked out. We wanted to use ourBest Western travel cards to pay the bill but the woman at the desk was clearly in no mood to process them, stating that "they were not of sufficient amount to cover the bill". - well, they were it just required her...

I stayed here for one night to attend a training course nearby. The hotel is in a good position, near the lake and several restaurants. The room was well equipped and a good size, however the only way to regulate the room temperature was by opening the window. It was quite a warm day, in the full heat of summer... More

Fine hotel, however not the most interesting decor. The room was extraordinary clean - so nice!!! The hotel is located adjacent to the train station, which I found very convenient, and an ok sushi restaurant is located on the ground floor. Only downside was the wi-fi, which at times was very slow.
