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. More

Breakfast not unforgettable but it's Ok, cooked eggs and bacon, friut, cheese ect ... I am not giving the best score because it is really in front of the station,... More

The Hotel Speer offers a good-value wedding package; we booked nine rooms for guests travelling to Rapperswil from the UK, Canada, France and the Netherlands for our son's wedding. The hotel was ideal with excellent service and is easy to reach, opposite the railway station with parking close by. The rooms were comfortable, quiet and well-equipped and the wedding couple...

We went to Rapperswil for the Iron man 70.3 event. As you can imagine after the title in my review, I found the hotel location absolutely excellent for the event and for the town itself. It's just opposite the railway station and I thought it might be a bit noisy but it wasn't at all. Last night I left the... More

We've stayed at the Speer 6 times now, and it never disappoints. The cleanest hotel on earth, incredible medieval town and it's right outside your door, lots of cafes and shops and the beauty of the location is unsurpassed. The beds are hard but never worn out. I always book the more expensive room, but not the highest price as... More

I may have created my own trouble here. I arrived very early, and the reserved room was not cleaned yet. At the suggestion of the staff, I opted to accept a very small room, and also declined to move to a larger room after the first night. After seeing the other rooms in the hotel, I recognize that this was... More
