We stayed at Hotel Chur for two nights in May 2025. Chur is a train station stopover town for most people, as the big draw is the Unesco World Heritage Bernina Express train that crosses the Alps into Switzerland (which we took). The Hotel Chur is situated near old town, about a 10-minute walk from the train station. The rooms were pleasant, with a small bedroom, bathroom and a small living room with an extra bed. The rooms were clean and the staff was pleasant. The rooms were a little hot, but you can open the windows if you don't mind the roaring river right next to the hotel. We had a hard time to get our devices connected to the free wifi (even with help from the hotel staff) - not sure why. Our reservation included breakfast at the hotel and it was very good with a decent selection of European foods. There are restaurants available in the old town nearby, but Chur is a small town and these are not always open. We learned that Mondays are a "low sales" day, so owners tend to close everything early (if they open at all). Chur is a very walkable city, and we walked to both museums (Kunstmuseum and Naturmuseum) easily. We also went a little out of our way to see the HR Giger Bar which is in the middle of a university on the west side of town. In all, I would recommend this hotel as it is easy to find, the staff are friendly and the sights around it are easy to get to. Also, I recommend taking the Bernina Express - that was fantastic!

Nothing fancy, but a clean and a comfortable place to sleep. Very budget friendly. The breakfast is not included in the night rates. As a cup of coffee can cost CHF 4 on average, paying CHF 15 or 16 per person for breakfast at the hotel is really worth it. One fine memory, they had a shoes polishing /shining machine at the entrance, which I never saw at hotels like Sheraton, Hilton, Marriott etc. One thing unusual. There is no individual control to the AC in each room. You may adjust the temperature by opening or closing windows, which can open wide or crack. We had one of our best Thai food at the "Mandarin Thai Restaurant" in Chur.

Hotel Chur was an excellent over night stay easy access to the old town. The rooms were clean and tidy the bed comfy and well made. We ate in the restaurant down stair and had a good meal with my wife having a small fondue, the wine was a touch on the expensive side but complicated the meal, good portion sizes. Only had one afternoon and a morning to enjoy Chur would have loved to have stayed longer and explored but time was not on our side hopefully will be back to explore some more, but it’s along way from AU. Great place good friendly staff. Hope you enjoy as much as we did
