This hotel is the best location for tourists. You can walk anywhere or take the tram . If you go to the right you will find old town Zurich and if you go left you will find the lake front and parks. Our room was number 31 and had an excellent view of the Opera House (back) and down to... More

I stayed at Opera from 2nd to 6th April while I was in Zurich on a business visit. I had requested an early check-in and was glad that I was given one! The proximity of Stadlehofen station was a plus for me as I took S16, direct train, from Flughafen. It is closer to Bellevue so getting into any part... More

I was on a business trip, and my wife joined me for the 3 nights we were there in late December. So this was part business part social. I have stayed at the Opera about 5 times this year and have enjoyed every stay. The hotel is effectively a boutique hotel, although it does have a restaurant in it's partner... More

This is always my preferred hotel when staying in Zürich. The hotel is very conveniently located in walking distance of Bellevue tram hub and Bahnhof Stadelhofen as well as many good restaurants and bars; it is also 5 minutes from the lake, a great place for an early morning run or to sit and people watch in the evenings especially...

I stayed here for two nights on business with a colleague. The hotel is very clean and elegantly decorated. Our rooms were both very small, but neatly done. A good hairdryer was provided but no coffee and tea in the room and no iron. There was a minibar. Breakfast was good. The main drawback of this hotel is that the... More

Business travel for one week. The room is small compare to US standard, but very nicely done, very modern and extremely clean. The mattress was great and I had a quilt, which added to the Swiss charm. Breakfast was a bit pricey 26 CHF (but well you are in Switzerland) but very good. There is no wireless but you can... More

My stay at this hotel was pleasant and I would recommend it. The hotel is conveniently located, although Zurich is a small town and you can walk most places if you have time.

The Hotel is very close to the Zurich lake and close to the Opera and restaurants. From that point of view perfect. The Hotel is a little small and the single rooms especially. In addition I found 310 Frank room charge too much for a little room. Hotel reception is very friendly and additional housekeeping service available. Didnt have breakfast.

Stayed here for four nights in August 2011 while in Zurich for business. Hotel is a notch or two above basic tourist grade. Friendly staff and a good location. Would probably stay here again if I am back.
