The hotel is very good situated – only a few steps away from the lake and the Old Town. What I found very comfortable is that there is Stadelhofen station with direct connections to the Airport. The room I had was luxuriously equipped – with a Nespresso machine, a very modern TV-Internet device and a bed which might be arranged... More

Location: Across from the Opernhaus - Tram 4 from the Zurich hauptbahnhof (HB) to the Openhaus stop, and a 1/2 minute walk. Or, from the flughafen (airport), catch S16 to Stadelhofen. There other ways to the hotel. Room: Classic Relatively spacious, Nespresso coffee machine and capsules, teas, etc. For Zurich I thought this was very good value. Staff: Excellent with... More

This is my second stay in a month here and i am really disappointed this time by the size and quakity of the room. If you do stay here check the type of room you book carefully. This is smaller than my student digs all those years ago. The receptionist didnt seem interested in my complaint.

We stayed at this hotel as part of a combined business and leisure trip. It suited both purposes perfectly as it was easy for me to get to my business appointments outside the City and for my wife to visit some of the sights of Zurich. The hotel's reception staff are very friendly and efficient and we were in our... More

It's an older style hotel, right beside the Opera House, a touch further from the lakeside and a few minutes from Zurich Stadelhofen suburban railway station. We found the staff attentive and accommodating from check in to out and the rooms quiet and comfortable, although the curtains don't keep out much light. Try the restaurant out and try their version... More
