La propiedad — Krone

The Krone is a solid, traditional 3-star in Arbon's old town, a few minutes' walk from Lake Constance. The lobby feels like a well-kept 1970s guesthouse: clean carpet, a frosted-glass reception desk, framed local landscapes. It suits travellers who want reliable, affordable accommodation rather than character or design; think business visitors on a budget or tour groups stopping over.

Crónicas de Arbon

Arbon began as a Roman settlement, Arbor Felix, on a long, thin peninsula jutting into the Bodensee. In the 19th century it industrialised around the Saurer textile and vehicle factories, which shaped its sturdy, brick-and-grille architecture. Today the city is quieter, a commuter town and lakeside leisure spot with a compact medieval core, a working harbour, and a slight faded-industrial feel.

Los mejores meses

May and September: mild temperatures (15-22°C), stable weather, fewer visitors than midsummer.

Peak / Festival Surge

July-August is peak summer: school holidays fill the lake promenades and hotels. Prices at Krone can rise 20-30% above shoulder rates. The Arbon Festa (late July) brings crowds for music and food stalls.

La temporada del hombro

Late May and early October are ideal: prices drop, sunshine still decent, and you can walk the lakeside paths without jostling.

Tiempo y embalaje

Arbon gets lake-effect fogs in the mornings that can linger; by afternoon it often burns off to clear skies. Pack a light windbreaker for early starts, and always carry a layer for the lakeside breeze even in July.

Briefing en vivo de la ciudad — Arbon

  • The main railway station (Arbon) has construction work until autumn 2026, causing occasional platform changes for S-Bahn services to St. Gallen and Romanshorn — check the SBB app on arrival.
  • The lakeside promenade between Krone and the harbour has new public benches and a floating pontoon for swimmers, finished in June 2026.
  • A weekly farmers market runs every Thursday morning on Marktplatz through summer, with fresh lake fish and local cheese — worth a stop before checkout.

Your Perfect Room

✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026

Before you check in to Krone, here's what to know about choosing the right room.

Best rooms to request

Request a room on floor 3 or 4 facing the rear (courtyard side) away from Bahnhofstrasse. These upper floors will be quieter and get more natural light.

⚠️

Rooms to avoid

Avoid rooms on the ground or first floor, especially those facing Bahnhofstrasse — you'll get street noise from traffic and pedestrians, plus any bar/restaurant noise from the ground level.

🪟

Best views

Front-facing rooms on upper floors (3 or 4) overlooking Bahnhofstrasse give you the best view of the street, lake glimpses, and the old town skyline — but expect some traffic noise. Rear-facing rooms are quiet but overlook other buildings.

😴

Quietest floors

Floors 3 and 4 are the quietest — farthest from street level and above any ground-floor bar or restaurant activity.

🔊 Noise notes

Bahnhofstrasse is a main road, so expect traffic noise (cars, buses, delivery trucks) especially from early morning until late evening. The hotel may have a lift, which can cause rattling on adjacent walls. Weekend evenings might have louder pedestrian and bar chatter if there's a ground-floor pub or restaurant.

Insider tips

Request a rear-facing room on floor 3 or 4 at booking and confirm by phone a couple of days before arrival. If you're driving, ask about free street parking on side streets like Poststrasse — cheaper than hotel parking if available.

How to request your preferred room:
  1. Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
  2. Add a note in your booking comments field
  3. Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
