The room was basic but the bathroom was poor - having a shower curtain instead of a shower screen and a limited shower over a bath.
Breakfast was a basic continental breakfast - mostly sweet pastries alongside cold meats and cheese.
It had good access to the local area and train station.

The room was clean and comfortable but a bit noisy - above the kitchen/entrance area so lots of coming and going.
Staff were fabulous - welcoming, friendly and really helpful.
Breakfast was great with a good range of meats and cheeses.
Location is excellent. The nicest part of town with great restaurants nearby, but still walkable to the station.

The room and bathroom were very dated. The bedroom door would not close. We had to lock the door with the key when in the room.
The staff were excellent. They were so friendly. Breakfast was nice. It was continental. We had dinner in the restaurant and it was very nice,
The location was very good.
The rooms and bathroom do need to be refurbished.

Great stay
Loved our stay here - we only had one Sunday night here, but Hotel Franziskaner was very welcoming.
Our room was light, overlooked the main street, had plenty of space & a comfy bed.
We ate in the restaurant - delicious food and great friendly service. Would love to stay here again.

We stayed in this lovely hotel the night before our trip on the Bernina express. The hotel is in the old town of chur which is really nice with lots of historic buildings, it was about 15 mins walk to the station so perfectly placed. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was from 7 the next morning but we went in just before and there were already people in there. Breakfast was the usual continental breakfast which had plenty of choice to suit everyone. The room was warm and the bed comfortable our bathroom was huge and the shower was very good.
This hotel is a small hotel and has lots of character I would definitely recommend it for couples.
