Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel had beautifully appointed albeit slightly small rooms but definitely not prison-like cells. They were the cleanest I have ever seen in my life. The service was amazing, despite some deceitful attempts regarding room category and the final bill. The staff was outstanding in helping us with transportation and reservation requirements. The location is very central and within walking distance to both businesses, banks, and the shopping district Bahnhoffstrasse, making it extremely convenient. The dining experience was very poor, specifically compared to other local 5-star hotels. The buffet was not up to standards, and some dishes were disappointing. Overall, a great stay with a few minor drawbacks.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and equipped with all necessities and luxury products, but the dress code that applies even at breakfast was a bit strict. The service was professional and charming, though there were a few attempts to deceive with the room category and final bill. The location was superb, right in the city center near many shops and restaurants. The dining experience was good but could be improved with a warmer bread basket. Overall, a comfortable and convenient stay.
The hotel offers immaculate rooms, although they are comparatively small and could use a redecoration more fitting for the Classic property vibe. The bathroom, on the other hand, is very spacious and lovely. The service is helpful and friendly overall, but there were instances of forgetfulness and rudeness. The location is outstanding with easy access to major attractions, though there was a slight disappointment noted. The dining experience, while simplistic, featured high-quality products. The facilities are well-maintained and functional.
My stay at this hotel was enjoyable overall. The rooms had lovely views and the bed was super comfortable, although a bit small. However, I found them to be very tiny. The service was amazing, but there were some deceitful instances that affected my experience. The location was fantastic for shopping and exploring Zurich, but there were minor inconveniences. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with some issues in the service. The facilities offered were satisfactory overall.
The hotel has a central location, perfect for both business and shopping, with live music at the bar and excellent service. The room had a lingering smell of old cigarette smoke, and there were some oversights by the cleaning staff. The dining experience was subpar with a poor buffet selection.
