Beautiful hotel in a great location with excellent staff.
The service was exceptional, as was the breakfast and everything at the hotel. They were very helpful with our daughter's requests during breakfast and in assisting us with restaurant reservations. They even provided a pillow menu to accommodate different preferences. We enjoyed our stay!

One of the best hotels in Zurich by far. very friendly and helpful staff , great rooms and very convinient location.
Everything is perfect.
As someone who has stayed at this hotel many times, I can wholeheartedly say that it never disappoints. The exceptional service, the welcoming staff, the impeccable cleanliness, and of course the excellent food all come together to create an outstanding experience every single time. For me, this hotel truly feels like a home in Zurich.
breakfast and location are perfect
he hotel is extremely old and there were no renovation for ages. They explain it preservation of ancient decor of the building that might reasonably be applied to the ceilings, but the bathrooms and furniture are from 80s or earlier. the height of the ceilings is also borderline to bear, but fine - its a historical place
My wife and I stayed at the Widder during the first weekend of the Zurich Film Festival, and we had an excellent time. We celebrated our anniversary there, and they made it very special for us. We were even so lucky to have won a competition to attend the premiere of the film “Splitsville”. It just added an extra sparkle to the experience. The room was excellent. The bed and bedding were great. We had a room with a terrace, which had a table and chairs on it. The location is great, right in the centre of the old town on the western side of the Limmat. The best part was the staff. Very friendly and helpful. A particular shout-out to Christian and Hans (I think his name is - I am posting this review about a month after staying there!), who checked us in. They were all friendly and helpful. The only bad aspect was that we did not get to enjoy all aspects of the hotel, as we had a busy schedule while visiting Zurich that weekend. We did get to enjoy the Widder bar, which was, as always, excellent. We hope to be next year or sooner. And next time we hope to enjoy all the amenities the hotel has to offer. And we thoroughly recommend staying at the Widder.
Excellent location of the hotel, very comfortable rooms, extremely friendly staff. Excellent breakfast and excellent bar.

I love the eclectic design
It was a small but appropriate room. I understand why there was only one chair for the desk and occasional, but it was difficult to move. I would put it on casters.
Perfect location. Excellent service. The staff were very helpful. The rooms were clean and spacious.
The breakfast was average.
The service was exceptional, as was the breakfast and everything at the hotel. They were very helpful with our daughter's requests during breakfast and in assisting us with restaurant reservations. They even provided a pillow menu to accommodate different preferences. We enjoyed our stay!
Very clean and thoughtfully decorated
No response from staff on a twice made request and a low level of care/apology that the simple request was not carried out.
Beautiful rooms and abundant spaces to utilise outside the room, the Widder garden is a wonderful place to relax on a summers day. The location is excellent in the old part of the city.
Excellent and friendly staff; nice suite, complimentary minibar, and well located.
The Widder exemplified Zurich - a standard European five star experience but at twice the cost. The room key was also an oddity. it was like a small brick. There was also an odd “Climate fee” of 8 euros per day — I had it removed as it rained every day. Grin.
The staffs are very polite and helpful at the concierge. The room is spacious and well appointed. Classy interior design with Eames design chairs. The bathroom is well designed with beautiful marble and craftsmanship. Staff Dario at Widder bar are very friendly and attentive. All the furniture and decor are exceptional. The vibe at the Garden bar are excellent.
For this price and grade of hotel. I expected more. There is no USB outlet in the room. I expected there is at least one on the study table. The light control is not flexible. Either all on or all off. Housekeeping is a bit slow when I asked for iron board and iron. Threw my pyjama near the study table when they cleaned the room. The shower (the hand held one) is difficult to adjust to an ideal temperature. Either too hot or cold. The pumps of the shampoo and shower gel are not using friendly. The hair conditioner pump does not work.
