Pros +
- It is a wonderful hotel. Probably my favorite in the world. We visited 15 years ago and couldn't wait to return. It lived up to all of our expectations. The morning breakfast is so special sitting next to the river watching the swans.
- Location is wonderful to be in the middle of Old Zurich. Very walkable to tourist attractions.
- Location, professional staffs, perfect to the T.
Cons -
- Loved everything
- Room is small. Very expensive.
- The cafe section was closed for an entire day - with the other facilities not showing flexibility to host the guests. We were advised to use the cigar lounge, which unsurprisingly had a very stron cigar smell factor :))

The location and the staff
Very small room and lobby, crowded, not proper lobby or sitting areas. Overpriced
The location is excellent.Very nice staff and good restaurants.Very cosy atmosphere.
The location is great, the serve is impeccable and the terrace is nice to spend new years. The hotel restaurants are also delicious.
We arrived in Switzerland and went straight to The Storchen. We absolutely LOVED this hotel. It was pure perfection. Clean, big and perfect location. We were able to walk everywhere from this hotel. We picked the perfect place to stay for our first time in Zurich. The hospitality was a delight. The breakfast was amazing.
Staff are friendly
Rooms need to be update, carpentry stains.
Location
Room 320 is much too small; impossible to leave your luggage. bathroom microscopic.
Location, staff, cleanliness
Everything was just great.
The breakfast was very good, especially when seated outside on the terrace.
The layout & size if room. The bathroom was exceptionally small. No space & not suitable for a tall person, would have been better as a shower only rather than with bath. The room didn't have enough mirrors - also had odd sofa in conor.a table and chairs would have been better.
Excellent location, staff, and food. The rooms were average( not bad). The rooftop area was amazing.
The rooftop bar and location
Breakfast too pricey
The rooftop bar and location
Breakfast too pricey
Location was perfect and the view from our room, directly overlooking the river, was beautiful
I completely recognise that Switzerland is not a low cost holiday destination but the per night cost of the room was excessive given the size of the room which, to be honest, at over £1,000 a night I would have expected rather more
The location, cleanliness and friendly attitude of the staff
The food of the room Service
The location was perfect. The staff was very helpful. Our room was very nice and the breakfast was amazing.
A bit pricey is the only negative but worth it!
Amazing staff, location and a good selection if restaurants.
Price is a bit steep but I guess the location demands it. Men’s toilet near the Lobby needs much better cleaning!
