Reviews of Hotel Velodrome 3 stars

My favourite hotel in Grenchen. Essential but excellent breakfast and big clean rooms

Rooms are a bit dark!! Structure is very poor as far as details.

Close to where k needed to be the next day

The check in process / self check in did not work - lucky there was a staff member As I checked in late around 11pm -

Everything

NO AC UNIT .IT WAS HOT AS HELL.

Cleanliness

Photos indicate large breakfast buffet but there is NONE! This is cheating! Self check-in with a non working machine, standing out in the cold with a child, completely useless support number. Hotel delays answers on purpose to lock you into an impossible situation. This is dishonest! Typical Swiss coward cheating. Disgusting !

My stay was as always nice. Clean rooms, big bathroom, very good breakfast. I like the style, basic but bike-centered

The rooms are not super well lit by electric lights, just a couple of floor or desk lamps, no wall lamps. Other than that, it's all nice

Location and room size

The room had a terrible smoke smell

Clean, simple but functional. Exactly what you need for the sport team overnight stay.

No aircon, so in the room for 4 persons it gets hot quickly, even opened windows doesn't help much.

Perfect Hotel

The location of the hotel is perfect

The room was big and comfortable, the bathroom was very clean with enough towels for everybody (but the soap was not enough, so it's better to have yours!). At the weekend there's no one at the reception, so if you need anything it could be a problem (of course, there's an emergency number to call). There's a car park in front of the hotel.

Unfortunately, when we arrived we had some problems to check in and we had to contact the emergency number (apparently, there was no reservation with our name, but it was with someone's name). Then we solved the problem.

I liked the location, vicinity to my business partners, quietness, the friendlyness of the staff, kitchen (Michael?) and the reception ladies are great. The hotel does not offer dinner, but there are two pretty good restaurants in walking distance. Also for doing sports like running or cycling it is a great place to start.

The housekeeping of the facility has clearly deteriorated over the last years. When I checked in my room, the bed was not prepared and a half drunk bottle was still standing on the table. I went back to reception, got a coffee offered while wating and the room was made up again. When coming to my room again, the bed was done, but the half drunk bottle was still there, also the soap dispenser in the shower was empty.

Good location, decent coffee machine in the lobby.

No emergency contact available; the room we had did not had 1 double bed but had 2 single beds next to each other….not a comfortable sleep. Extremely Noisy people after 11pm and no one to call or someone to handle the situation….couldn’t sleep between 11:30pm and 2am… Cleaning staff ( only ones in the hotel ) not speaking English… No response via email from the official email address!

Lovely staff there. Always willing to understand needs for earlier check-in or late check out. The room was super clean and really fair for how much it costs. The velodrome itself is quite spectacular.

The restaurant was a bit costly. For a small glass of orange juice they charged almost 5 francs (4.80.-). Nothing else about the hotel itself.
