A wonderful boutique hotel close to the train station and old town Zurich. The staff was very friendly and the young woman who checked us in actually walked us over to our room that was in a building separated by a courtyard. Although we traveled by train, there was plenty of parking on the side street in front of the hotel. We enjoyed our stay very much and highly recommend this property to anyone who wants to experience the historic part of Zurich.

It was an easy 15 minute walk from the train station. Good breakfast. Good location. Room was clean. Front desk staff recommended the Swiss Chuchi Restaurant at Hotel Adler. We enjoyed it so much we went there two nights. A good variety of food, not just fondue.

Great staff!!! All were so friendly, informative and helpful. They went above and beyond when one of our travel party left their passport in a room safe. They got the passport out of the safe and scanned/emailed a copy to us very quickly. Then held on to it until we could return. They also prepared to go breakfast bags for our group when we were checking out at 6:30am. Spacious rooms and breakfast was great with lots of variety. Love that the hotel is close to the train station and lots of shops and restaurants.

An affordable option in a good area. It's not the fanciest hotel but the room was nice and I felt that we got more than we paid for. Plus, they include a free breakfast that consisted of meats, cheeses, breads, cereal and boiled eggs. My only critique was the size of the shower, which was very small: less than 3 ft X 3 ft. Everything else was modernized, clean and efficient.
