Built in the 14th and 15th centuries, the prestigious Guildhall Rueden is a successful example of the architecture of this time. The refined façade allows you to forget the 21st century. In the interior however, tradition has been merged with convenience and technology to move with time. Hotel zum Rueden is situated in the old part of the city of Schaffhausen, just 5 minutes' walk from the main station. Schaffhausen's surroundings offer beautiful countryside and Europe's largest waterfall, the Rheinfall. All rooms are beautifully furnished with en suite bathrooms, TV/ Radio, direct-dial phone, modem, wireless internet and hairdryers. The Swiss continental style buffet ensures a good start to your day.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.7 for a two-person trip.

    Very friendly staff, nice location, very good bed and a «green» line; we were asked if we needed room service for our 2 days stay, and not meat or fish for breakfast, of course if we wanted, to avoid vaste of food. We liked that very much👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
