Joanne, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

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.
Ben, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The experience was exceptional. From the staff, to the room, and the beautiful views and walking trails around the property. We will definitely stay at the hotel the next time we are in Zurich.
Jeff, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
ryan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

Property is great, far from city, no car service is hard
Siri, 3-night trip

It was a nice stay. However the pictures of the room were not what they offer. The walk up the hill to the hotel was cumbersome too.
Clinton, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Got there at 9pm so we walked the hill in the dark. It was adequately lit. Our triple room was much larger than expected. Bed was beyond comfortable! The shower was small but had great water pressure. No conditioner - that was tough. Restaurant was pricey but the food was fabulous. Can’t go wrong with this place!

Brigitte, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staying at the top of Zurich is great. However it was troubling having to pull our luggage up a huge hill to get to the hotel. And they also had no air conditioning in the room. With it being summer, it was absolutely boiling in the room. However, nice stay, the view and the restaurant are great.
Hemal, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

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
Tim, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Nobody answer phone after 6pm, it's 45 mins uphill hike to hotel, no car access, worst Hotel communication ever experienced especially if you are a tourist, Stranded overnight and they just take your money with no care.
Elio, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nearly 5*

It was a great stay and excellent value for money. This was my second time staying, and it was just as comfortable as the first. As for the room, the only constructive feedback would be: • A larger smart TV would be a nice upgrade. • A latch on the windows would make it easier to keep them open on warm nights. • While there is an ironing service available, having an iron and ironing board in the room would be more convenient. Overall, it’s a great hotel with lovely rooms, and with a few small improvements it could easily reach a 5-star experience.
Marcel, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Magnificent

A special, unique location and spectacular panoramic views. The members of staff are friendly and accommodating. Rooms are comfortable, clean, and a good size. The breakfast is excellent: a wide selection of breakfast types and fresh bread options are available, and they can also assist with special dietary requirements.
