Romantik Hotel Florhof - Zurich, Switzerland     

The hotel looks wonderfully old worldand is comfortable, well maintained and very clean. The welcome is very friendly and the staff were most helpful with all my queries. The hotel provides low key, old fashioned service and there is a lovely garden terrace perfect for summer dining. The location is excellent on the edge of the old town and within walking distance of everything if you enjoy a wander. The welcoming glass of champagne is a winner and sets the tone. I felt very safe and at ease staying on my own and acquired a comfortable and cosy room with ensuite. I have already reccommended it to my friends and plan to return. It's a wonderful stop for me en route to and from Hong Kong/Sydney - a long journey. Thank you for a lovely time at a super hotel. Isabel

I used this hotel to celebrate my parents' wedding anniversary and they gave first-class and very friendly service. The hotel, celebrating its 100th birthday, is in an attractive old building on the edge of the old town in a quiet area, within reasonable walking distance of the centre and with a bus/tram stop within a few minutes walk. The rooms are well decorated, of mixed sizes but generally okay, although we found them almost-unbearably hot during a warm sunny spell. The staff were very friendly. An evening meal was very good, but a little expensive and "designer", although the hotel did give us a great recommendation for a more traditional dinner the following evening. Breakfast was reasonable - good quality but a slightly small selection. Free cakes and afternoon tea were available each day at 3.30pm and there is a delightful garden terrace. Zurich as a whole was a wonderful weekend break destination.
