We stayed only one night at the end of March but were quite pleased. Very respectful hotel, friendly staff,spectacular view over Zurich and the lake, located in the forest. Though a bit ugly outside, very nice looking inside. In the room everything looks new (furniture, carpet, wall paper), small kitchen, small balcony. Beds are nice and convinient, bathroom is big...

I stayed here more or less continuously from August 2011 until November 2012 whilst working in Zurich. The hotel met my requirements for parking, wifi & a pool/sauna. I was, however, very disappointed that the treatment of longer-term guests spending, let's face it, a lot of money, was less than hospitable. It was only during the last 6 weeks or... More

The hotel was located in a lovely tree lined street and just 10 minutes drive up the hill into Zurich city. We stayed 3 nights and were very comfortable in our clean, spacious rooms. Sitting on the balcony we had a magnificient view over Zurich. Room service was ok, a little pricey, but after all we were in Zurich. The... More

The two downsides to this hotel are location and price. It's up on a hillside, requiring a shockingly costly cab ride or use of a tram and then hill climbing gondola. The room rate is less than, say, the Marriott, but still expensive at about $300 per night. The service is excellent. The staff great. The physical facility good. It's... More

Pros - spectacular view, professional staff, great breakfast, beautiful beautiful location with great trails through the forest, easy transport options in/out of the city. Cons - clean but dated (e.g. 1970s) decor, "gym" is 2 stationary bikes standing next to a small warm indoor pool. I understand a renovation of the hotel is pending.

This hotel is a decent choice. Nothing extravagant, the staff is very professionnal and friendly. The location can be good depending on where you are doing business in Zurich. Definitely not a "romantic" hotel, just very executive. The rooms are very spacious and the bathroom provides a "night" light (red color) actually very pleasant (didn't get blinded in the middle...

Not a 4- star hotel!! We stayed at this hotel for few days in a flat. It is settled on Dolder hill, very far from the centre of Zurich, but easily connected through both  the Dolder train (the stop is just in the courtyard of the hotel) or the free shuttle of the hotel. In the reservation mail they wrote about...

If you're looking for style, then this isn't the hotel for you. But for friendly & helpful staff, a good restaurant & a clean & well-equipped room, you can't do much better. Wifi is pretty poor most of the time..this would be my only real complaint!
