The Property — 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.
Arbon 연대기
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.
Best Time to Visit
Arbon 완전 가이드 →Best months
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.
Budget shoulder season
Late May and early October are ideal: prices drop, sunshine still decent, and you can walk the lakeside paths without jostling.
Weather & packing
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.
Live City Briefing — 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 2026Before 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.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
