Elegant, older, well maintained, albeit a bit dated, the hotel is located directly across the street from the Zurich main train station and trolleys. If, as we did, you want to be within easy walking distance of the train station this is a great location. If you want to be in a very quiet location on or close to the lake, this is not where you want to stay. There is a small grocery store in the underground passageway to the train station. The hotel common areas are well-maintained, and it has a small bakery and bar that serves a very good dinner. There is a separate restaurant space on the second floor that only serves breakfast, and the food and the staff are excellent and it’s fairly priced. However, the hotel does not have a conventional restaurant. The lobby and rooms are small by american standards, but very quiet and well-appointed, have a good bed and the bathroom has a bath/shower combo with very good water pressure (and air conditioning). The small electric refrigerator in the room was set up as a mini-bar, but it was ok to remove the bottles. It does not get very cold. We were upgraded to a small suite with a sitting room, so I don’t know what a standard room would be like. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. There did not appear to be a concierge. The hotel allowed us to check-out 2 hours later, which we appreciated. All in all, a very good hotel for the price. However, if you’re looking for a very high-end american-style hotel, this may not be for you, but you should expect to pay two to three times more for those hotels

We come again! It was our second time in this hotel and we enjoyed it again. The location of the hotel is simply top. The rooms are large, beautyful and good isolated. All the employees of the hotel are kind and helpful. What I sometimes missed was the competence and the cleanliness…but that didn‘t bother me so much! One thing I must say: I‘m very complicated with beds, but in the Schweizerhof I sleep always like an angel. Breakfast and the spa offer makes during the stay only happier. I‘m very thankful for the 3 special days I was able to enjoy there, and look forward to coming back soon. Noemi Malvido Rodriguez
