This small hotel disappointed me. Pre-payment. Toilet and bathroom on the floor. Very used mattresses and thus old. The room Japan was on the street and thus we were able to sleep, it was warm far too much and could not open the window of to the noise of people who were on the terrace below. The breakfast was without... More

I loved this little hotel.Yes, as other reviewers have said, the elevator is small. Yes, there is a bar downstairs. Yes, you will have to share a bathroom with the floor (which only consists of three rooms anyway). But, you're in Europe. In many hotels the elevator will be small and your bathroom is outside of your room. The hotel... More

You need to suspend some expectations staying here. You stay for the location, the zany appearance and atmosphere, and the cost, not for luxury, or pampering (or a large elevator!).

Hotel Otter was fairly reasonably priced when compared with all other expensive hotel prices in the area. The hotel is centrally located, just up a short road from the lake and river waterfront, tram stop junction and close to Stadelhofen train station. Locating the hotel was quite easy. Hotel Otter is a very small hotel consisting of a bar at... More

Stayed with family (includes 3 kids). Had trouble getting here. No clear directions from reception. The bar downstairs doubles up as front office after the front office shuts at 6 pm. You are alone after bar shuts. a bit scary. Web site is misleading. Rooms are okay. But beware if u have luggage to lug up. Tiny elevator. Has a... More

My mom and I stayed at Hotel Otter on our first night in Switzerland. The hotel was close to the Standelhofen train station and very easy to find. The room was clean and comfortable. We did not mind sharing the bathroom. We never had to wait for a turn. The location is fantastic. The hotel is in the Old Town... More

Clean - Room was nice enough and clean, only only share the bathrooms whith 3 other rooms. Location - is as good as it gets, in the old part of town and close to the river. Breakfast - Is as basic as you can imagine, just bread and cold meats, however it is high quality so we were happy enough.... More

Stayed at Hotel Otter for one night in October 2011. Stayed at the blue room, with 3 other friends. The room was on the 2nd floor, right above the bar. It was really, really, really noisy at night, till the wee hours in the morning. Bring ear plugs, ipods, anything to stuff your ears really! The receptionist was nice enough,... More

We've stayed for 2 nights only, but love it there -nice spacious room with the balcony! We've had nice room decor (African) and the view above the roofs from our window and balcony was just the best! We also liked their breakfast a lot. The only down side is nobody at the front desk after 8 pm, it was actually... More
