We loved the friendliness and attentiveness of all the staff. The position of the hotel is perfect, Rapperswil has a beautiful historic old part and Hotel Jakob could not be in a better position. The hotel has some quirky contemporary elements and decor that make it a fun and interesting place to stay. The lunch and dinners were exceptional, the cocktails were magnificent. However, there are so many superb restaurants that you can easily walk to if you want to change scenery.

There was nothing we didn't like about the hotel, I am confident that if there was, it would have been corrected immediately.

The hotel is very well situated and, despite being very central, the room was quiet (no street noise or any other for that matter). The bed was comfortable. Breakfast was good, a decent selection. The coffee was excellent for hotel breakfast standards, much appreciated.

Given that the room was not huge and that we had a separate bathroom, the cost of the room was on the high side. But I guess this can be attributed to the location and the fact that everything else was fine.

The location of this hotel is brilliant, a 5min walk to the train station with direct services to Zurich and 5min away from all the restaurants and the lake. Everyone working at the hotel were very nice and helpful and the atmosphere in the restaurant was great in the evenings.

The quality of the breakfast was good but with limited variety.

Great setting in the main square of the Altstadt. Convenient for the harbour area, the train station and restaurants. The hotel is ideal for a short stay in the centre of Rapperswil. The staff are very polite and helpful.

You definitely pay a premium for location. The rooms are basic but clean. However, because of the convenient location, I'd stay again.

Breakfast was delicious. The staff really approachable and friendly. The rooms and bathrooms were spotless. We needed three rooms for the size of our party. Two were next to each other which was fab!

We ended up with our third room on a different floor which made things a little tricky but not impossible.

Central

For price and the fact we were only sleeping and leaving the next morning, we opted for the shared bathroom. Everything was perfectly clean and fine. However the price for a room with shared bathroom was not value for money.

Spacious room, great location and the AC was helping us with the sleeping in the summer nights

The AC was leaking a little bit but the hotel is working on it. The price was higher because a local festival.

Hotel is modern and very minimalistic decoration. The location is great. Very central. Breakfast was really nice. Good offer of bread and cheese, coffee, juices and some cereals.

Not much closet space. But it was ok. There were some shelves.

Close to the station and all the facilities of Rapperswil. We stayed with three young children and they loved it too! Room and facilities were clean and breakfast plentiful and delicious.

One of the two rooms had a shared bathroom.

The location is fantastic, right in the center of the old town square, walking distance to the train station, lake and small shops. Big rooms!
