Stayed recently in the special Old Town or Niederdorf area, and within 10 minutes walk to central train station. Easy to get to the main downtown area, one of the best shopping areas in Europe. Hotel was accommodating and the staff friendly and helpful. Internet in the room not wireless. Breakfast in the morning very good by European status. Rooms... More

Great location, especially if you arrive by train as the hotel is in a pedestrian zone, therefore no parking (only public parking). We had asked for a room for 2 adults and 2 children and when we arrived they proposed us two rooms which was perfect for us, but could be an issue if travelling with younger children. One down...

Room amenities are not good. "Mangelhaft" shampoo, soap and toilet paper... Internet is free but not wireless... You cannot use it with your iphone or oder wireless equipment... Breakfast is at the reception area but you will probably not find much to eat... Very poor indeed... Not worth the money... More

I stayed in the hotel for two nights and enjoyed it. The position in the old central part of Zurich at small and very charming square with Starbucks just 10m away was sensational. The room I was in was comfortable, clean and spacious. Breakfast ok, nothing special, but the stuff was great. They are so easy to talk to and... More

What our family experienced in Franziskaner hotel, Zurich and the ordeal they put us through is unthinkable and unprecedented. The hotel conduct was completely unacceptable and unprofessional. They detained our luggage in order to force us to succumb to their illicit practices, for which we are pressing charges. We will communicate our horrific experience and the unbelievably stressful situation they... More

This was a delightful small hotel located in the heart of town. The restaurant was also great. Close to train station. We took a cab because we were not sure where it was. I am glad we did as we probably wuld have walked right by it as it is above the restaurant Was an easy walk to the train... More

Neat little hotel. One of the cleanest I have ever stayed in and the staff is super. Only problem, if it is the warm time of the year, there is no air conditioning and at night you have to keep the windows open with most of the rooms over a small platz or outside tables of restaurants. Noise when it... More

We stayed in this hotel for three nights. We chose it for its location: walking distance to almost everything including a public indoor parking. It is located in a small alley in the heart of the "altstadt". It is closed to a large variety of restaurants: Italian, Swiss, Mexican, Turkish, Chinese, German, and yes, even McDonald's! There are also a... More
