The view from our triple room was STUNNING, the room, and particularly the bathroom, were warm (it was the coldest month of the year), the grounds were AMAZING as it was still the Christmas/ New Year season.

A special, unique location and spectacular panoramic views. The members of staff are friendly and accommodating. Rooms are comfortable, clean, and a good size.

6/10 Good

I loved the hotel. Unfortunately, there are no dining or reservation options for paid hotel guests who are not with a large company party. ALL, but one, staff are very kind and do their best to accommodate. We werent permitted to have drinks in the bar, nor sit anywhere outside at night, despite no one sitting there, because we werent with these large parties. They do have luggage service if you call for pickup. The spa was nice (bring your swimsuit as they are not nuse like German Sauna). We spent the majority of our 3 days there, in our room, but it was really beautiful. The HIKE, is better taken up the stairs and not the road. Breakfast was wonderful. I would NOT recommend coming here at anytime in December. Zurich overall is EXTREMELY underwhelming and overpriced. I wouldnt visit again on my own dime.

Nearly 5*

It was a great stay and excellent value for money. This was my second time staying, and it was just as comfortable as the first. As for the room, the only constructive feedback would be: • A larger smart TV would be a nice upgrade. • A latch on the windows would make it easier to keep them open on warm nights. • While there is an ironing service available, having an iron and ironing board in the room would be more convenient. Overall, it’s a great hotel with lovely rooms, and with a few small improvements it could easily reach a 5-star experience.

The hotel needs a small bus to transport guests from the railway station to the hotel - ready to pick up from the bus/train. Some guests find it easy to walk the 10 minutes uphill others find it difficult and surprising - and is not aware of the possibility to call the hotel for transportation.
