Pros +
- Excellent stay, lovely staff, beautiful rooms
- Perfect location, adorable property, nice restaurant with delicious breakfast and lovely staff. My room had a view over the beautiful roofs of the old town.
- The location was perfect, not too far from train station, easy to walk to the lake and restaurants, in the heart of old city. The breakfast, which was included, had tasty choices, including delicious fruit, and I appreciated that the staff accommodated my request for lactose-free yogurt. The staff was very kind and helpful, lending us everything from a corkscrew and knife to a much-needed umbrella! We did eat dinner one evening at the restaurant and it was tasty. The hotel has a beautifully designed modern interior in a very cool historic building. The staff in every part of the hotel were wonderful.
Cons -
- Breakfast was very good, could be improved with a toaster for bread
- well, the price. We felt like we were treated luxuriously, and the price reflected that.

Very good breakfast, especially the bircher muesli.
No local bus/tram card included.
Staff were helpful and pleasant. Room was comfortable. Restaurant had a menu that includes enough for everyone to choose. Delicious.
The staff are so friendly and helpful. This was our first time in this part of Switzerland and they were a great help with us getting around.
Our stay was too short. Nothing not to like.
Location, cleanliness, friendly staff
The hotel is a hidden gem right in centre of Zug. The property is very traditional with modern amenities. The staff is super co-operative and supporting. It is walking distance to the lake and all major attractions.Parking is not free (excepts for Sundays) but you can find couple of paid parking options nearby. The rooms we stayed in were amazing with nice interior design and a great view from all the windows. Our rental included the breakfast. It was not a huge menu but definitely you will enjoy having breakfast on the outside with great view.
Nothing about the property but general information for all visitors, the shops usually close at 5pm, so be mindful if you want to get something. All restaurants have a last order at 9:30 pm and after that you will not find any food.
Lovely immaculate hotel, beautiful room, comfortable beds, well located. Delicious breakfast - many thanks to Fabriola for kindly taking care of us every morning!
Great location and excellent restaurant
The reception times are limited
The lighting . Brilliant, literally and figuratively. I could actually read without straining. Also, loved the paintings.
A bit hard to get to.
Staff was able to help us with any request we made. They were friendly and knowledgeable.
Location, upscale but comfortable and charming
Little pricey, but was a great start to our first visit to Switzerland
Nice hotel in the heart of the city with professional staff and delicious breakfast.

Location and staff
Beds could be better.
Being located in the very centre of Zug, the hotel is a sightseeing by itself. Modern minimalistic design of rooms with majority of amenities available. Staff is very friendly and helpful
Selection of food at breakfast was very limited (although the level of service provided by the staff was flawless)
Extremely helpful and friendly staff, great location, great breakfast, extremely clean and well maintained
City-Hotel Ochsen was a beautiful hotel located near Lake Zug in the old city of Zug and very near all kinds of shopping restaurants near by. Our room was spacious, simply but beautiful furniture and art with lots of light. It was clean and there were excellent amenities both in the room as well as in the hotel with a bright inviting workout room and saunas available. The staff were welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. The restaurant at the hotel served the best meals ever and had very good vegetarian options! I cannot sing the praises of this hotel enough to say how much we enjoyed our stay!!
We have no complaints about our stay at this hotel.
