1 Übernachtung in Zürich
Pros:

Die Lage des Hotels in der Nähe des Zürichsee hat uns sehr gefallen.
Wir wurden beim Checkin freundlich empfangen. Es gibt für Hotelgäste kostenlose Eiscreme in der Lobby.
Getränke gibts auf Vertrauensbasis im Kühlschrank in der Lobby.
Die Betten sind sehr bequem. Die Zimmer sind geräumig.
Frühstück war bei unserer Buchung enthalten. Das Frühstück war vegetarisch, es gab dennoch genügend Abwechslung und Auswahl.

Cons:

Die Parkmöglichkeiten in der Nähe sind schwierig. Wir hatten keinen Parkplatz reserviert und haben dann in einem Parkhaus Feldegg geparkt. Das Waschbecken im Badezimmer war etwas klein.

Pros:

The area is very quiet, you can really have a restful night after a long and tiring day. The hotel is very clean and our room has a lot of space. Staff are all nice and friendly. I highly recommend it. The view is spectacular especially Zurich lake.

Cons:

It's quite far from city centre. Breakfast is quite poor too.

Excellent location in a beautiful neighborhood, definitely I would book that again for my next stay.
Pros:

Top location, public transport, shops, restaurants, bars, lakeside... everythin is in walking distance.
Nice balcony and very beautiful rooftop.

Cons:

There were public (?) yoga lessons on the rooftop which I would have liked to join, but did not know about it. Also the Spa facilities and offers could have been promoted a bit better so that the guest could take advantage of these.

Toll gelegen. Aber die Zielgruppe und die Baustelle sollten offen kommuniziert werden
Pros:

Lage großartig

Cons:

Neben einer Baustelle, was nicht erwähnt ist. Keine Ruhe von 07.00-18.00

Eher „männerunfreundlich“. Es gibt nur ein Spa / Wellness für Frauen. Wäre ja kein Problem. Aber auch das ist nicht vermerkt. Man zahlt aber trotzdem den vollen Preis.

Unerträglicher Baulärm stört ganze Aufenthalt!
Pros:

Sehr gute Lage. Höfliches personal. wunderbare Dachterrasse . Frühstück ist ausreichend und nicht verschwenderisch.

Cons:

Laut Beschreibung liegt dieses Hotel in eine ruhige Nebenstrasse. Das war sehr wichtig für mich. Vorgefunden habe ich zwei Großbaustellen rum ums Hotel. Bauarbeiten beginnen um 7 Uhr und mann kann nicht weiter schlafen. Fenster muss zu sein. Aber man hört es trotzdem. Ausserdem erschüttert sich das Bett durch Baggerarbeiten. Bei nicht geöffnetem Fenster ist sehr warm im Zimmer, da keine Klimaanlage vorhanden ist.
Das Haust ist sehr alt, daher hört man jeden Schritt . Alles knarrt. Die Treppe, Fussboden. Ich habe keine ruhige Nächte gehabt und konnte mich nicht erholen.
Nach 19 Uhr ist kein Personal im Haus. Man muss selbst die Tür mit Hilfe von Telefon aufmachen und feststellen, welche Zimmer man beziehen soll. Kein Nachtportier und kein Begrüssungszettel.
Preisleistungverhältnis stimmt überhaupt nicht. Ich bin enttäuscht. Auf umfassende Bauarbeiten muss hingewiesen werden! Niemand möchtet Urlaub auf die Baustelle verbringen!

A cosy boutique hotel in a good location
Pros:

A very pretty place, clean and quiet. The electronic locks make check-in after hours a breeze. Free apples for a hungry late arrival - a very nice touch! Plentiful breakfast.

Cons:

I would have liked an electric kettle in the room.
