Guest Ratings & Reviews
I couldn't help but be captivated by the luxurious and comfy rooms, spending most of my time gazing out of the floor-to-ceiling windows and soaking in the atmosphere. The elegant and spacious design was a delight, although the bathroom felt a bit small. The divan bed posed a challenge for getting in, but once settled, the extreme comfort, great decor, and modern bathrooms with fabulous showers made it all worthwhile.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms offered a wonderful view of the river, but they were unsatisfactory, prompting an early checkout for a more spacious option at a similar price elsewhere. The service staff, despite some billing discrepancies and noisy construction, were very friendly. The location was perfect, close to key attractions and with a great view of the Grossmuenster and Limmat. The dining experience was really good, with attention to details, but slightly lacking in variety. Overall, a stay with ups and downs.
The hotel had some positives like a clean and comfortable room, but the value for money was not the best. The service was warm and welcoming, although the room could have been better. The location was fantastic in the heart of Zurich, but it might be challenging for taxis to find. The dining experience was good with inclusive options, but more variety could improve it.
The hotel offers a wonderful view of the river from the rooms, although they are on the smaller side. The decor is modern and the bathrooms feature fabulous showers, but the rooms are quite tiny, making it less value for money compared to other options. The service is warm, welcoming, and professional, with helpful staff, despite a slight issue with overcharging. The location is perfect, right by the river in the heart of the old town, ideal for exploring Zurich. The dining is of good quality but limited in options. Overall, a cozy stay with some minor drawbacks.
I was initially attracted to the hotel due to the beautiful views of Grossmuenster and Limmat, but unfortunately, the small room size left much to be desired. The service, on the other hand, was top-notch with extremely attentive and caring staff members. The location was convenient and well-located near the lake and various tourist attractions. Dining at the hotel was a treat but could use larger portions. Overall, the experience was mixed with some highlights and some letdowns.
The hotel offers beautiful and spacious rooms with lovely views over the old city. The service is superb, and the location is amazing, right in the midst of the old city on the river bank. The dining experience is inclusive and delicious, making up for any small room size. Overall, a great place with a few minor drawbacks.
I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The location is perfect, right in the midst of the old city on the river bank, offering a stunning view of the Grossmuenster and Limmat. The rooms are cozy with a view of the Limmat River and the old city, but there was some noise from trucks at odd hours. The service was impeccable, although there was a minor issue with overcharging initially. The dining experience was average for a 5-star hotel, offering a limited but decent buffet. Overall, a great value for the money.
The hotel had small rooms and lacked space; we even checked out early to move to a more spacious hotel for a similar price. However, the rooms were ready upon our early arrival. The staff provided professional, helpful, and caring service without exception. The location was perfect, very clean, with a good breakfast spot. The dining was good, especially the pancakes. Overall, everything was excellent.
