Staff at Hotel Rössli were friendly and helpful, room was clean and to a very high standard. Breakfast was fresh and tasty, staff at breakfast were helpful. Very central location for old town, making it an excellent base for walking around. Would recommend this hotel if you're staying in Zurich.

Construction wake up call

The unexpected wake up call due to construction outside the hotel was annoying, not to mention the letter advising water would be turned off for 4 hours. Not necessarily the hotels fault but they had been in contact with me up to check in and this fact was left out, would have been nice to know ahead of time to make other arrangements.

The hotel location is fantastic with everything in walking distance and a decent breakfast buffet. The Apartment room we booked was very spacious and great for the family. Several downside though to be aware of. First the hotel is in a no car zone, so you have to park a half a mile away and schlep all your stuff there. Then, the elevator goes only to the 3rd floor and that room is on the 4th. Finally, the room has no AC. It was very hot when we were there, so it gets a bit uncomfortable. We opened all the windows and then you hear all the noise from everybody partying in old Zurich and it gets quite loud.

The front desk was not staffed when arrived to hotel around 11 am. This made check in a bit difficult. As well, there was no one there at check out. I wanted to use a different credit card to pay for our room vs. the card I used to reserve our room. With on staff there, this was not possible. Kind of a hassle. The restaurant in the hotel had excellent food and a very friendly owner.

Great place to stay in Zurich

Our stay at Hotel Rossli was perfect, from the location to the room to the access to Zurich. Everyone was friendly and helpful. And the views from our rooftop terrace were spectacular. Thanks for everything, it made our trip that much more special.

Great location for sure. Pretty close walking distance to a lot of places in Zurich. If you're coming from US, you might agree with what I say. If you're European, you're probably used to what im talking about. Everything else besides location is sub par for the price. Room is very very small, im one person and have barely any room to put my suitcase and move around. It's on the street, and even though it's not a main street, apparently people don't sleep here during the week, so you can still hear people downstairs yelling and laughing and talking and it goes to past midnight sometimes. Pillows are flat and thin, impossible to get a good night's sleep. Walls are paper thin and I'm currently dealing with a very noisy person who won't put the volume down even after I asked. No AC, which apparently you do need in October here. And opening the window is impossible because you can hear people outside. Breakfast buffet is fine but very pricey. So if you're a light sleeper in your late 30s or more, this won't work for you. If you're a college student who could sleep anywhere, you'll be fine.
