We have stayed in the hotel several times with our child and have enjoyed it everytime. It's got the perfect location in the city (only hotel on the river Limmat) and in the summer you can have breakfast on the outside terrace, overlooking the river with a view towards the lake and even (on clear days) the mountains. Staff are... more

My partner and I stayed at the Zum Storchen, it was our second trip to Zurich in 6 months and we had been very disappointed with the Zurich Sheraton which was incredibly tatty and overrated. The Zum Storchen however was a delightful contrast. First of all the location is perfect, situated right in the centre of town on the river... more

We stayed 3 nights and had a great room. Breakfast was included, buffet style and outside on the terrace. We ate in the restaurant one evening and sat outside overlooking the river. The service and food was first class. All hotel staff were excellent and extremely friendly. No quality hotel in Europe is cheap, but it helps when the stay... more

We have just come back from a 3 night stay at the Zum Storchen. Whilst there is nothing wrong with this hotel, it is very pricey for what it is and it's only really the location that warrants the price! The staff are all very friendly and eager to help. The rooms are nothing special really - i've stayed in... more

We stayed one night at the Zum Storchen. We had a double room right on the river. There was not a balcony but the french doors open and there is an iron railing that makes it balcony-like. The view of the river and skyline was incredible. We were a bit disappointed in our room for the amount we paid. The... more

I spent one night in the Zum Storchen on a business trip in January. The hotel was in a fantastic location but unfortunately they were having work done at the time. The rooms were average though the balcony had a fantastic view of St Peters Church with the largest clock face in Europe. The breakfasts were phenomenal and the staff... more

This is a good hotel ; not excellent, charming or outstanding... but clean, comfortable, reasonably priced (for Zurich) and very well situated. From there you can walk to the old town, shopping areas, the lake and the main train station within minutes. If you like to stroll late at night it is also very convenient. It is rather on the... more

A wonderful hotel in the heart of Zurich with a great staff and a perfect location. I received an upgrade to a room with a beautiful view of the Limmat river for a modest fee. My wife and I had stayed here 5 years ago, and I was delighted to return. I would highly recommend "The Stork". Jim Rice Fort... more
