8/10 Very good

It’s a very good hotel with a panoramic view of Zurich and the lake. There is room for a little improvement, though: the staff were friendly, but when we requested a service, it took 45 minutes to be handled. Also, on the second day, they didn't restock the Nespresso capsules, which was a real shame.

The view from our room was spectacular, the hotel staff were lovely and helpful especially Samuel from the restaurant, he was kind enough to make our evening memorable.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

The location is fab. The views are worth the walk up the hill. The view will take your breath away. The views from the bedroom were beautiful, clean, comfortable and worth the money. The room was large, and comfortable. The restaurant food was delicious, breakfast was tasty and well stocked. Highly recommend a stay here. Staff were friendly and very accommodating with requests/info about the train back to Zurich. When we stayed the train from ZHB was not in service, however the walk to Selnau station was convenient. The walk from Uetliberg was beautiful and part of the experience.

This hotel has the best view of Zurich. The staff is also extra friendly. I wish they would have shuttle service going up from the Uetilbig train since walking takes a long time and it’s also uphill.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

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.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Amaizing place with significant views

It's amaizing place to stay in with beautiful views. Best way to reach the hotel is to use local transport which is easy to understand. People are friendly and helpful to give information. Be prepared to walk up the hill max 10 min for not fit person. But the views from hotel pays all.
