Pros +
- Great location near the ole part of town.
- Great location, friendly staff, I recommend it.
- The location of the hotel was great. Ms P and Ms A were very helpful. The rooms were enough to accomodate two people.
Cons -
- Children over 10 years old pay the adult room rate
- Breakfast was definitely not good. Not too many options, no fresh vegetables, one kind of cheese in a cheese country was disapponting. I dont recommend including the breakfast when booking the hotel.
- A new lift was being fitted so a bit noisy in the morning. This couldn’t be helped and the staff were apologetic.

We loved the theme and the Old Town location, as well as the staff who were welcoming and super helpful.

Location was perfect and staff was very friendly and helpful
Air inside was not good; hot and humid. Opening the windows didn’t help. We had two fans in the room and we were still hot and couldn’t breathe. The water in the sink and shower were not draining. Toilet flush leaking. We had to manually shut it down. Noise of the construction near by early am was waking us up daily.
Perfect location. We stayed just for one night in transit and it was everything we needed. Fun vibe and excellent location for exploring central Zurich. Cute boutique shops close by. Great restaurants. Staff were so friendly and helpful.
Has slightly backpacker vibes but the room was quite spacious and actually quiet. We stayed with our 6 year old and it was great.
I love the name, Hotel California! Especially since we are from California!!!Close enough to the train station, centrally located, easy access to other trams and transportation!
The stairs to the property are a little bit of a turn off. The only way you get access to the elevator is through the restaurant, only when they’re open apparently…. A little strange, but that’s OK we adapted
Pleasant
The room was noisy, I could hear the adjoining restaurant noise in the courtyard till midnight, then I heard the birds nesting on the window seals all night
Spacious rooms, it was stocked with tea coffee sugar and a kettle. It had hand wash and shower gel it has many charging points which were at the side of the bed. It was clean with a comfortable bed and friendly staff. Ideal location, it took us less than 5 minutes to get to the amazing NYE celebrations and fireworks. Loved it
I cannot fault it.
Located within the Old Town area. Close to the Opera house, Christmas market, and tram stops. Elevator available from the restaurant up to your floor.
Expensive - but less expensive than other options in the area. Bed was a bit too firm for my taste.
The room was super clean, spacious and comfortable for four persons. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel was ideal especially if you don’t have a car.
The sofa and the sofa pillows weren’t very comfortable and the first night the room was slightly cold.
Very good location, friendly staff
You enter every time through the restaurant.

Great location for Xmas markets, really good happy staff who were very helpful
Very noisy and room is a little small
Everything.The location is excellent, partial view of the river from our room, the communication from the hotel prior to and throughout our stay was excellent. Clear, concise information relating to our check in which was late due to a delay with our flights.Our room was a great size with a large, exceptionally comfortable bed. We asked for more pillows for our second night and they were supplied immediately.Well appointed full bathroom with a deep bath, the shower has excellent water pressure and there was lots of hot water.The restaurant is quirky, with great food and fantastic service. The included breakfast is tasty and well stocked.
We only had one mild complaint about the number of pillows this was immediately rectified when requested.Fantastic service
Super convenient location, Tram, supermarket and Christmas market is in 5 mins.
Very good location, the room was comfortable, helpfull staff from the booking to the stay, good value for money
Friendly staff, clean room and good breakfast
Over engineered key access system for front door and room access
Comfortable room good location.
Breakfast area was dirty, staff were not cleaning tables, not pleasant.
