This is a beautiful old hotel that is in the hear of the historic section of town. Hotel was built in 1500's. Very close to excellent shopping and restaurants, and a block away from the very scenic lake. The restaurant is excellent - food, wine, cheese choices. There is also a very cozy bar area; there is smoking allowed at... More

Room : very small, very simple ... Everything s in wood / except that very clean, the bath room is well designed with smelling good shower products. The hotel : the lobby must be the better part, you really feel welcome. The dinning room : this is very old style / the carpet is so old and used ! People... More

I enjoyed my brief stays at this hotel. It is conveniently close to our offices in Zug and situated in a nice area. A very comfortable, clean hotel, centrally located with all required amenities close by. The staff were friendly and helpful.

The room was big and bright very clean and comfortable. The location of the hotel was perfect, close to the lake and shops. Parking is about 5 minute walk away, but it was possible to park outside the hotel to bring in luggage. We enjoyed our stay very much and would like to return.

The historic feel to this hotel is matched by the very basic nature of the rooms which are akin to my university halls twenty five years ago. No wifi in the rooms is frustrating to the business traveller who relies on the iPad for entertainment and connectivity when travelling. The breakfast is good and all the staff are extremely helpful... More

It depends what you want.. I only booked this hotel as all the hotels in Zug were fully booked due to a local Catholic holiday (!?!) so... What was good... Nice bed, nice room (I had a junior suite-nothing else available - comfy bed, decent bathroom, great TV! Most freeview UK channels -yay! ( not seen this in other hotels... More

We enjoyed this hotel - maybe because we had one of the nicer rooms facing the front, very spacious, nicely decorated, with a little sitting corner in the 'tower' where you could look down on all the action in the square. It was pricey as with everything in Switzerland. Staff was helpful and friendly enough (not overly warm as is... More

If the hotels in Zug are really as expensive as other reviews here imply (this was my first stay in the city), then the Ochsen probably has value for money in its favour. The staff are reasonably friendly too, although not exceptionally so, and this should in any case be a given in this business. There is little else to... More

I travel to Zug at least once a month and hotels in the town are expensive. This one is right in the heart of the old town and is one of the least expensive within the town itself. The rooms are funished with stripped pine furniture and pine floors. My room was inside one of the turrets you can see... More
