One day business trip to Zurich

This was my first time with you and I must say that the service is excellent and the staff very friendly !: my key was ready in an envelope as promised (late check in), all the instructions were clear and correct and the breakfast and check out perfect. My only regret is that my room didn't have bathroom: this was very upsetting when I arrived, around midnight. I checked again in my booking and I didn't find that important information. Hopefully I managed to find the common bathroom across my room.

I had a bad experience on the morning to see that they were not hot water to wash mayself. When I say that to the person ( he handles the breakfast ) he said that he couldn't do anything. he did not propose other solution, ( other functionnal room available, a gesture on the bill...) considering the price I paid,it is not reasonnable. except that, the lunch was quite good, and the 2 waters were very nice.Too bad...

Charming magical Hirschen am See

Excellent stay, charming quaint village on Lake Zurich, fantastic meal at the restaurant, the staff were all lovely. The breakfasts are delicious, especially the yogurt. We swam in the lake and went into Zurich daily via train, I can't wait to return.

The staff were very helpful. Eating on the patio overlooking the Lake of Zurich was fantastic. I had a fantastic dinner with wine made across the street, fish (perch) caught that morning, and great fresh gazpacho. The downside? I had a room on the top floor,?in the eaves. I bumped my head several times. It was also three flights of steps (I’m 74). The window was street side, with traffic noise and a fan for the heat. No elevator. Maybe getting a ‘good deal’ on Expedia wasn’t such a good deal.

We loved the location of this property and the beautiful lake views! Public transport into Zurich was very quick and easy with bus stops a minute or two from the hotel. Staff were lovely and friendly and very welcoming. Gorgeous bedrooms, comfy beds and very clean. Delicious buffet breakfast on the terrace overlooking the lake. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Lovely stay

I stayed in a long stay room for three nights. I found the staff to be very welcoming and helpful. My room looked out over the lake and was great value for money. It was easy to get into Zurich by a short bus ride and train in less than 30 minutes.

Not 3-Star

The images reflect a rosier picture than reality. We booked for 4 nights but left after 3. Overall we were disappointed in this venue. The location is excellent for the view and reasonable access to Zurich, but it is an old hotel so there are limitations and the facilities and the service were subpar. On the plus side, the food was good in the restaurant and the service spotty, but on the whole the staff's attitude and demeanor ranged between indifference to ineptitude with an occasional rudeness. There was not just a little mold in the bathroom, a shower that dripped from a 6' height every 4 seconds for the entire time keeping us awake, a hot stuffy room and requests for remediation as well as additional pillows went ignored and we were just made to feel as if we were being too fussy. Great to visit for dinner with a view, but otherwise I wouldn't recommend this venue for anything more than an overnight stay driven by convenience.

Good views of Lake Zurich

Nice hotel with great views ( if you get sea view room) of the lake. The rooms facing the road will be noisy and hence when warm, will be a challenge as there is no a/c.Unfortunately the restaurant is closed Mon/Tus. - as are a lot of others in the area!! So beware arriving on these days. Breakfast was good. Drinks on the terrace is possible until 9:00pm - too early to enjoy sunset.
