Schweizerhof Zurich - Zurich, Switzerland     

My only issue with this hotel is that I didn't find it sooner. This is my third hotel I've stayed in here in Zurich. From the moment I was greeted at the front desk it felt like home. After running into my fair share of hotels here that have terrible service this was an absolute joy to find. My room is only a standard single but it's bigger (and nicer) than many doubles or "deluxe" rooms I've stayed in here. Plasma TV (big), coffee in room (yea), spotless marble bathroom, towel heater, flowers...It really is the perfect room in the perfect hotel. The people working here all seem to be friendly, helpfull, and willing to go out of their way to help you with ANYTHING. The location is perfect as it's right across the street from the main train station (lots of great shopping there) which makes it perfect for anyone flying in or heading up to the Alps. If anyones interested I have some fantastic pictures on my website of the trainride up and of Interlaken and beyond. I can also recommend places in the Alps There's all kinds of ameneties. Bathrobe, pants presser, shoe shine kit with brushes, full size soaps in the bathrooms...The list goes on and on. The windows open for fresh air and I have a great view. I love the high ceilings, it makes the room feel that much bigger. I would without hesitation stay here again. It's a little pricer than some other places but in this case well worth it. For single travelers like my self it's perfect. No need to spend more on a deluxe room as this is perfect as is. I'll try to load some piuctures of the room up soon. If anyone wants to see pics before then email me and I'll send them. If you enjoy "Old world charm" and flawless service without being pushy you will not be dissapointed staying here.

Great location right opposite the main train station so we only had to lug our bags about 100m from stepping off the train to the hotel doors! It was early in the morning so we had to wait a bit for our room to be vacated and cleaned but that was expected. They also gave my wife a gift as an apology for the exterior renovation works that were going on. Positives: great location at the beginning of the Bahnhofstrasse and near the train station for day trips out of the city, friendly and well trained staff, excellent concierge staff that were well informed about everything, great breakfast buffet included in the price. Negatives: Nothing really!
