Not 3-Star

The images reflect a rosier picture than reality. We booked for 4 nights but left after 3. Overall we were disappointed in this venue. The location is excellent for the view and reasonable access to Zurich, but it is an old hotel so there are limitations and the facilities and the service were subpar. On the plus side, the food was good in the restaurant and the service spotty, but on the whole the staff's attitude and demeanor ranged between indifference to ineptitude with an occasional rudeness. There was not just a little mold in the bathroom, a shower that dripped from a 6' height every 4 seconds for the entire time keeping us awake, a hot stuffy room and requests for remediation as well as additional pillows went ignored and we were just made to feel as if we were being too fussy. Great to visit for dinner with a view, but otherwise I wouldn't recommend this venue for anything more than an overnight stay driven by convenience.

One day business trip to Zurich

This was my first time with you and I must say that the service is excellent and the staff very friendly !: my key was ready in an envelope as promised (late check in), all the instructions were clear and correct and the breakfast and check out perfect. My only regret is that my room didn't have bathroom: this was very upsetting when I arrived, around midnight. I checked again in my booking and I didn't find that important information. Hopefully I managed to find the common bathroom across my room.

The staff were very helpful. Eating on the patio overlooking the Lake of Zurich was fantastic. I had a fantastic dinner with wine made across the street, fish (perch) caught that morning, and great fresh gazpacho. The downside? I had a room on the top floor,?in the eaves. I bumped my head several times. It was also three flights of steps (I’m 74). The window was street side, with traffic noise and a fan for the heat. No elevator. Maybe getting a ‘good deal’ on Expedia wasn’t such a good deal.

Nettes Hotel am See

Nettes, gemütliches sowie persönlich geführtes Hotel. Die Zimmer sind schlicht eingerichtet. Die Zimmer zur Strasse sind eher laut und die Aussenbeleuchtung des Hotelschilds liess mein Badezimmer und (wenn man die Türe nicht schliesst) das Zimmer hell erstrahlen. Das störte etwas.
