Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the Storchen Zurich was truly exceptional. The staff's dedication to making guests feel pampered really stood out, and the location was simply perfect for exploring the old town. The room was beautifully designed, with a modern bathroom that I absolutely loved. However, there were a few hiccups initially with the amenities in the room that needed fixing. Overall, the hotel exudes luxury, making it worth what you pay.
I had an incredible stay at this boutique hotel with its stunning views and elegant room design. The location made exploring Zurich a breeze, and the thoughtful touches like fresh fruit daily really enhanced my experience. However, the noise from the street and service mix-ups were disappointing and affected our overall enjoyment.
My stay at this boutique hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The location along the river was simply stunning, allowing for easy exploration of old town Zurich. The room was beautifully designed with high ceilings and large windows that made it hard to leave each morning. However, there were some issues with the service that detracted from the experience, as responsiveness felt lacking at times. Overall, while the charming ambiance and location were major highlights, the inconsistency in service left me wanting more.
My experience at the hotel was a blend of highs and lows. The view from the spacious room was incredible, with the snow-capped Alps framed beautifully by the Zurichsee. However, the service left much to be desired at times, especially during an unsettling incident with bugs. The location is fantastic for exploring Zurich, making it easy to stroll along the river and visit key attractions. Dining was a treat, particularly the breakfast buffet, though one meal was excessive in portion size. Overall, it has great potential but could improve in service consistency.
My stay was at a lovely boutique hotel right near the river in Zurich, where the modern design really catches the eye. The rooms were incredibly comfortable, although one was surprisingly small compared to what I anticipated. The service from the staff was a bit inconsistent; while some were super attentive, others seemed a bit preoccupied. Overall, the hotel was a great choice for exploring the city, but the dining could use improvement in service timing. I really appreciated the chance to relax and felt welcomed with lovely touches upon arrival.
