The hotel needs a small bus to transport guests from the railway station to the hotel - ready to pick up from the bus/train. Some guests find it easy to walk the 10 minutes uphill others find it difficult and surprising - and is not aware of the possibility to call the hotel for transportation.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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 wish I knew the closest train was out of service before booking. I loved the hotel and the nearby walks/hikes, but it takes an hour to get to town. They have a replacement bus service (two separate buses) to the next closest station. Those buses only run from 6:20am to midnight. This is rough for some travellers. It is also hard to figure out how to get there at first. Our map took us to the bottom of the mountain at the back side instead of the front, and we had to hike up with our stuff. Avoid the tram - take the nearest train to Schweighof train station then catch the two busses near (EV1 or EV2)z Do not book this place if you have an early morning or late night planned - you will be paying too much money in taxis. Overall the location is beautiful, and we loved our stay. I just can’t stress enough how the location is quite tough for a person who is not familiar with the area and the transit. Avoid Apple & Google maps and rely on the Zurich metro website. We spent a lot of time in the hotel as it was harder to get and stay in town for long periods. If you love to come & go from town and eat out for every meal, avoid staying here. The hotel food is extremely pricy. You need to make grocery runs and take back food as there are no other close options.
