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.

The view from this hotel is incredible. Even with the current rail replacement bus to get you there, it is well worth it. The room was spacious and clean, but some of the decor felt a little tired. The service wasn’t the best (we asked twice times for robes and slippers to use the wellness centre despite being assured before arrival that they’d be in our room), and water was only provided for the first night. The breakfast was lovely and we enjoyed that on a terrace with the amazing view.

Amazing views, quiet in the evenings. Definitely a walk up hill to the property, but they do come to pick up your luggage at the bottom and transport it up. About a 20 min train ride very convenient for public transportation. I recommend getting the Zurich card you get free entrance to museums and unlimited public transportation. They also will provide adaptor when ask, which definitely came in handing as I completely forgot. Enjoyed our stay.

This hotel has the best view of Zurich. The staff is also extra friendly. I wish they would have shuttle service going up from the Uetilbig train since walking takes a long time and it’s also uphill.

Amaizing place with significant views

It's amaizing place to stay in with beautiful views. Best way to reach the hotel is to use local transport which is easy to understand. People are friendly and helpful to give information. Be prepared to walk up the hill max 10 min for not fit person. But the views from hotel pays all.

This hotel is beautiful. It is away from the city with a short walk from the train station to the hotel. There are beautiful views of the city of Zurich and the lake and mountains. The staff of the hotel were very efficient and accommodating. The only complaint we had was on the Saturday night there was a wedding and the guests were very loud until 2:00 am. The other two nights we were there it was very quiet.

Got there at 9pm so we walked the hill in the dark. It was adequately lit. Our triple room was much larger than expected. Bed was beyond comfortable! The shower was small but had great water pressure. No conditioner - that was tough. Restaurant was pricey but the food was fabulous. Can’t go wrong with this place!

Staying at the top of Zurich is great. However it was troubling having to pull our luggage up a huge hill to get to the hotel. And they also had no air conditioning in the room. With it being summer, it was absolutely boiling in the room. However, nice stay, the view and the restaurant are great.

I have a bit of a mixed review, one staff provided repeatedly hostile service, and made me want to leave the morning after check in. He was the evening worker who checked us in. The hostility carried into booking our spa time, and I avoided the front desk and him after this. The hotel itself was lovely, I enjoyed the views, the food, and found my room very comfortable. The other staff made up for it, specifically Yvonne. I was pleased to have such positive interaction with everyone else upthere. there. Theprovide read re

My only real complaint is that the property is labeled "car free", Yet I was sad to see multiple delivery trucks parked right outside my window and a personal car parked at the steps to rooms there all night too. Even saw a taxi dropping off as I hiked in. Yet I booked this excited about the car free idea, so I took the train up and it's not a long hike in from there. Yet this is a luxury hotel I'd say, and ritzy guest don't like to walk with luggage. I get that. So don't call it car free or say "car free for the lower end guest". LOL The staff was very nice and so was my room. Breakfast buffet a super nice selection. Great views from the area but it rained and so I didn't get to hike or go up the tower. I do recommend this place, especially if wanting a romantic get-away night. TW
