We chose this hotel as it is near the lake. The rooms are quite small, but with nice balconies and side views of the lake (the hotel is not on the lake front itself). The staff are friendly and efficient. Breakfast is very nice and the hotel bar/restaurant are comfortable and atmospheric.

This is a great small or boutique hotel in Zurich, great service, the staff excellent, great Bistro, very pleasant rooms. It feels like Home, and the owner Mrs. Kramer, makes sure that all is taking care for the guest. I stayed 5 weeks and please believe me that I got to know everything and everybody from the hotel and restaurant... More

We arrived at the hotel and were very warmly welcomed by Mrs. Kramer, the owner of the hotel. It was our second time in Zurich but the first in the Hotel Europe. As I knew now it would be right next door to the opera house, I spontaneously decided to go to an opera show in the evening that was... More

Good location for this hotel; overall I was impressed by the little touches. Bathroom is very small but nicely appointed. Welcome drink (prosecco) in the bar. Good restaurant (Quaglino's) in the hotel in case you don't want to venture out at all. Windows very solid so no noise from the street at all. Friendly staff. I would stay here again.

Don’t stay in Room 30 – the bathroom floods every time you take a shower. You’ll need an extra towel or bathmats to keep the water back. The bathroom and bedroom smell strange and the air conditioning does not appear to work on any setting – open the top window and, if more air circulation is needed, open the door... More

Dear Tripadvisor users! I have decided to share with you my thoughts about the hotel as it is important to know what to expect. The hotel is nicely centrally located. And it is not overpriced for a four star hotel in Zurich. Now let us see what it means a four star hotel in this case. I came from the... More

For location, this place is it. Literally every tourist attraction in Zurich can be see from 5 minutes from here. However the rooms are the smallest rooms I have ever seen, even in former soviet countries. Service is minimal. But I would still stay their again because of the location.
