Pros +
- Thank you for such a great experience! We had to make a call to the front desk multiple times after mistakes on our end (locked keys in rooms, showing up after hours, etc,). The woman at the front desk was very accommodating and super friendly! I will definitely stay here again in the future. Also - thank you for the upgrade!!
- Location, clean, modern, good mattress, easy parking, good breakfast. Giant bathroom, lots of light, big room
- Great location, home for family matters, my home town is Pfaeffikon.
Cons -
- Loud church nearby, no elevator, there is a step in the room, I don't think the rooms are wheel chair accessible.
- Our fridge never worked had to keep stuff outside on the balcony to keep cool.
- Bed has 2 small mattress instead of 1 big.

Loud church nearby, no elevator, there is a step in the room, I don't think the rooms are wheel chair accessible.
Great location, home for family matters, my home town is Pfaeffikon.
Our fridge never worked had to keep stuff outside on the balcony to keep cool.
The place was clean and comfortable. Self check-in was available for late arrival.
Bed has 2 small mattress instead of 1 big.
Panorama Suite was exceptional. Breakfasts were outstanding. Great location in little village. Plenty of parking.
No lift. Dragged our luggage up and down 4 floors.
Great location, just a short 5 minute walk to the train station where you can take a 30 minute train ride into downtown Zurich. The parking was free and checking in and out was smooth and easy to navigate. Our room was very clean and nice and we really enjoyed the property overall.
It didn’t bother us so much, but as an FYI, the bells from the church next door could be pretty loud and chimed every 15 minutes.
City center, electric charger for the car
They did not make the bed and clean the bathroom between my 2 nights. Had to go down 3 times because they forgot to give me the light card on arrival (at 11 pm it’s annoying). 270 (yes I counted) bell rings at 6am on a Saturday from the church just next door.. just why ?
Particularly appreciated the trust placed in the guests. Loved the relaxed atmosphere. Very classy, clean and modern hotel, an incredible combination of tradition (from the outside) and modern inside. Hope to be back there soon!
Great rooms with plenty of space. newly renovated to a great standard. Thanks for giving me an umbrella for my stay.
Many internet sites are blocked so I had to use my cellular network most of the time. The facilities for ironing could be better, ideally with an ironing board in the roomTV could be much bigger. I would have preferred to have the breakfast added to my booking as an option through booking.com.
I am this review at 5:30 in the morning, so I at least get to use my time with something useful instead of for example sleeping.And you too will probably not get much sleep if you stay at Gasthof Zum Hecht. You can partially thank the next door church for that, because they decided it is extremely important to enthusiastically ring out the time during - get this - the whole night. And here we go again ! I just got informed that it is now 05:45 - three gongs.Being on the mainstreet, morning traffic is also surprisingly heavy for a such a small town, and the hum and noise is joined by the passing of head lights on the walls here, because there are no curtains in front of the windows. And I have to say that this is nouveau experience in a hotel where you get charged €170 per night without breakfast.A good pillow is important for a good sleep. But the single pillow (I am in a “suite”) on the double bed is the big and synthetic fluffy kind which means I had to recruit a couple of cushions from the chairs. Insanely uncomfortable. At least you have several mosquitos keeping you company, which will see your twisting and turning in bed as an infallible sign of guaranteed freshness. I will fondly remember them as I scratch their business reminders during the day.Finally, the bathroom is unhelpfully designed against the 42 degree leaning roof, which makes using the toilet a challenge to say the least. Be prepared to adopt a stance reminding of defensive bullfighter to do # 1. I have a hard time seeing any male over 70 accomplishing this without risking some sort of a back problem. Better to sit down.So, now it is 0600 and the (loud !!) church bells ring first 3 times (a double ring to announce something really important is coming up) then 6 times to give the hour. Then after 5 seconds, the bells are tolling full speed for full six minutes to make sure nobody are, God forbid, asleep on this Thursday morning.Unlucky for me, I have to stay here one more night.
The hotel was nice, the personnel was very helpful and the restaurant was the best surprise. The food was delicious and the Italian waiter very polite, helpful and extremely nice.
Beautiful old renovated building. The restaurant is excellent (the wine list exceptional)
It’s been said before, the building is just next to the main road andit is rather noisy. But, the hotel has earplugs as giveaways in the room!
it was convenient, they let me check in early, the water pressure was great and the water temperature was controlled well. The place was very clean.
I would have liked 2 pillows vs. only 1, the room was warm and when I left the window open the bells were very loud. I was reluctant to wear ear plugs in a strange place.
Very nice, comfortable and clean. Good position, nearby railway station, 30 minutes from the center of Zurich
Very good Good located - free parking - super clean comfortable room -
Very understanding staff. Had problems with my payment made contact with me over the issue and allowed me time to resolve the issue with my bank. Food in hotel restaurant was also excellent.
Nothing all very good
The room was really large and comfortable.Breakfast was good, albeit at the bakery a short walk away.
very nice hotel, welcoming, with a central location in town. renovated stylish building and even good restaurant granted Michelin is inside.Light rooms and comfortable bed, nice bathroom. Ideally for your business or family trip for several days by car.

Rooms with no fan....it was like sleeping in hot pot...No lift to the rooms..... literally takin our bags to the 2nd floor was a mess....staff doesn't have common sense to knock on the door before opening it with master key ....very disappointed...
Very nice and newly decorated rooms. Good bed, friendly reception, easy parking at the property. Good soundproofing despite roadside window. Excellent restaurant with friendly service.
Pricey, like everything in Switzerland, but no worse than other places. No elevator ( stairs up to the 3rd floor). No own breakfast room ( breakfast is in a place down the road).
