Location
Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel offers a mix of old-styled rooms that are extremely comfortable and beautifully designed. While the service provided varies from charging a big deposit amount to being wonderfully helpful, the location is a perfect spot near the main street of Zurich and the lake. Dining options range from really good to outrageously charged, and the overall facilities ensure a pleasant stay.
The hotel offers nice rooms but with a small size that could be improved with soundproofing. The service was generally awesome, although some issues required substantial complaints. The location is excellent for sightseeing and shopping, but might need a bit of a refresh. The dining experience was not up to par with limited options available.
The hotel offers elegant rooms filled with mirrors that add a touch of luxury and beauty. The decor is modern and the cleanliness is impeccable. However, the bathroom and minibar felt a bit dated. The service was outstanding, with prompt and friendly staff available to assist with various amenities. The location at the lake was superb, capturing the grandeur of the good old times. The dining experience, while highly recommended, was on the expensive side with limited options. The facilities were top-notch, making the stay convenient and enjoyable.
The hotel offers beautifully decorated rooms, but the temperature control can be a challenge. The pavilion is a top-notch experience, but dining charges may seem steep.
