Schweizerhof Zurich - Zurich, Switzerland 

Convenient Hotel in Zurich Center
Posted: Sat, Jul 05 2008
This is a very nice hotel located convieniently by the Hauptbahnhof and close to all the major attractions in Zurich center. The rooms are small but quiet and nicely appointed. The location is right by the main shopping street in Zurich and within walking distance of the old town, art museum, and Lake Zurich. If you don't like to walk, the trams are right there. The staff was generally helpful, but when we left, they took a half hour to get our car and didn't even tell us when it was finally brought around. I would expect better service from such an upscale hotel.

did not live up to expectations or price

So on the plus side the location is great both for access to the airport via train and the central business district. The breakfast is very good and the room as expected was very clean. The problem is the size of the rooms and some of the service staff lead a great deal to be deired. The rooms are tiny especially given the cost. What really annoyed me was the prescious attitude of some of the check in staff which one really does not need when coming into a hotel especially one which is supposed to offer great service. Lastly the facade was being redecorated but that is only temporary .

Simply the best

This place is different. If you had to stay in too many prefab five-star places while doing business in Europe a night in Schweizerhof comes as a relief. I never got better service and the rooms are very comfortable, especially when you compare them to some "design" hotels. Here it's function follows form. There's a second door to your sleeping chamber, keeping away the noise from the corridor. There's evening butler service and breakfast is served in your room at no extra charge. The hotel is in the most convenient location for sightseeing, shopping and doing business.
