We really enjoyed our stay. The room itself was very clean cosy - all facilities worked well and we enjoyed access to English TV channels. I slept like a log every night. The views of Zurich were outstanding and beautiful. Our arrival was made tricky by the engineering works on the rail service. This resulted in our maps directing us to walk up the mountain from Albisgütli. Once we’d started, we had to carry on but it is quite a climb!! Not recommended for inexperienced hikers! Day 2, we learned of the bus replacement service which ran perfectly and served us well for the rest of our stay. Breakfast was delicious and the ‘marketstall’ food van served beverages and snacks - excellent nuggets and pretzels!

The view from this hotel is incredible. Even with the current rail replacement bus to get you there, it is well worth it. The room was spacious and clean, but some of the decor felt a little tired. The service wasn’t the best (we asked twice times for robes and slippers to use the wellness centre despite being assured before arrival that they’d be in our room), and water was only provided for the first night. The breakfast was lovely and we enjoyed that on a terrace with the amazing view.

Our stay at the hotel was overall very pleasant. The place is beautiful, and the views of the surrounding area are stunning. Getting to the hotel from Zürich SBB is currently a bit difficult due to ongoing railway construction. You need to take a train from platform 22, and then transfer to two buses: EV1 and EV2 goes smooth. The route goes through 3 Zurich zones – a one-way ticket costs about 9 CHF, but you can also buy a 24-hour ticket for around 18 CHF. We spent the first night in a room with a view of a concrete wall, but the next day we were moved to a beautiful room with a view of the city. The hotel staff were quite friendly and spoke good English. The spa we had booked in advance was well-equipped – bathrobes and slippers were provided. I would definitely go back, but only if I could get a room with a view.

Access is a nightmare requiring 2 different busses and a 10 minute walk up a steep/stepped gravel drive way. No air con in the rooms was also not expected for a 4 star hotel.

Hotel is awesome. 2 things, the number to call to come get bags from train station didn’t work for us(could be user error). And coffee in the morning isn’t available till 7. Really wished they had any kind of option to make your own in lobby or something for ppl that are up early. The room machines don’t cut it.

My only real complaint is that the property is labeled "car free", Yet I was sad to see multiple delivery trucks parked right outside my window and a personal car parked at the steps to rooms there all night too. Even saw a taxi dropping off as I hiked in. Yet I booked this excited about the car free idea, so I took the train up and it's not a long hike in from there. Yet this is a luxury hotel I'd say, and ritzy guest don't like to walk with luggage. I get that. So don't call it car free or say "car free for the lower end guest". LOL The staff was very nice and so was my room. Breakfast buffet a super nice selection. Great views from the area but it rained and so I didn't get to hike or go up the tower. I do recommend this place, especially if wanting a romantic get-away night. TW

Amazing views, quiet in the evenings. Definitely a walk up hill to the property, but they do come to pick up your luggage at the bottom and transport it up. About a 20 min train ride very convenient for public transportation. I recommend getting the Zurich card you get free entrance to museums and unlimited public transportation. They also will provide adaptor when ask, which definitely came in handing as I completely forgot. Enjoyed our stay.

I love the location. The hotel is ok. We booked 2 days. We arrived on the 31st and left on the 2nd of Jan. New Years eve the hotel has a private party and a private dinner for people who made reservations. At night around 11pm I went outside and took pictures because the view is amazing. As I go back inside, I'm not sure if thats a security guard, I didn't ask. He stopped and interrogated me for entering the hotel saying theres a private party going on and it's for guests only. So I said im a guest of the hotel but i didn't make reservation of the party . He didn't believe me and demanded proof of a guest key and an ID. So i showed my guest key and entered. He still follwed me to the main lobby and and asked the receptionist to check. People were looking at me at that time, like im gate crashing. So i showed the receptionists my rm key and the receptionists asked me to write my name which i complied. The computer verified that i checked in for 2 days. Afterwards, both of them didn't even apologize. Im a traveler. I've been to luxurious hotels and have never been interrogated or harassed like that. I didn't tell my boys because I didn't want to ruin their New year. We were there for the view, and that was the last leg of our vacation. The only thing that makes me feel better are the cats that are always in the lobby early in the morning. Those sweet cats made me feel better during our last day at the hotel.

I have a bit of a mixed review, one staff provided repeatedly hostile service, and made me want to leave the morning after check in. He was the evening worker who checked us in. The hostility carried into booking our spa time, and I avoided the front desk and him after this. The hotel itself was lovely, I enjoyed the views, the food, and found my room very comfortable. The other staff made up for it, specifically Yvonne. I was pleased to have such positive interaction with everyone else upthere. there. Theprovide read re
