Hotel California

Clean and comfortable room, great location and helpful Staff!

Great central location, friendly staff and comfortable room

Comfortable room in old town Zürich.

Basic accommodations but great vibe and location! Papa Joes restaurant was excellent.

Only stayed 1 night. Nice little place in great location.

Perfect located, Hotel California provides full array of options when visiting Zurich. Great professionalism, high hospitality, all hotels personal accommodated us perfectly.

Awesome location within walking distance of all the sites. When you leave out the front of the hotel you are right by the Limmat river and also a few minutes walk to the Grossmunster cathedral. A restaurant is on the 1st floor and the lobby and rooms start on the 2nd floor. You can either take the stairs up or there is an elevator at the back of the restaurant. Also highly recommend taking the train from the main Zurich train station to Uetilberg. There are amazing views of the Alps here and it’s only about a 20 minute train ride away. Trains leave every 20 minutes.

This place is as central in Zurich as it gets. You do not need a car to discover the city - you step out of Hotel California and your are in the middle of downtown Zurich. Clean, perfect location - highly recommended!

Good location and a quick walk to centre of Zurich. The room was clean but the pillows provided weren’t too supportive. Felt like air. Other than that, it was a good stay.

Good stay

The ubication is so good and the room has a good size and it was clean

Nice room, nice beds, nice shower. Good restaurant below with 10% discount for hotel guests. Great location in Old Town, parking nearby.

very friendly staff.

Good location. Helpful staff. Nice room. Great mattress.

Great location

Husband and I stayed here five nights recently. We were very pleased with the location in old town, and easy access to transportation and the Christmas markets. The room was very clean and comfortable. We booked the superior room, which had more space than the standard room. We prepurchased the breakfast and found that to be a good decision, with a buffet spread, delicious coffee, and also eggs and bacon. I am gluten free and each morning they brought me a basket of fresh gluten free bread, much appreciated. The only thing that I would suggest is to not be on the second floor. While that location was super convenient, it is above the restaurant/bar. In the morning I (who am a light sleeper) could hear chairs being moved around. Nobody was intentionally being loud, they were just doing their job preparing for the day. Other than that, the staff was very kind and accomodating. Highly recommend Hotel California!

The hotel is ok if your expectations aren't high, which means I wouldn't rule out staying there as it is well located However it has some quirkiness which may not appeal to everyone The reception is on the first floor and at first sight it seems that you need to walk up a flight of stairs to reach it. Fortunately, a staff member noticed our hesitation before we started carrying our suitcases up and told us to enter the adjacent Papa John's restaurant and use the elevator there. The elevator and the restaurant in act one will return in act two... We reserved the bigger room so had no problem with the spacious room (I read some reviews which complained about the room size) The hotel has a strange system of different keys to access the elevator and the room which means you always have to go through reception to change keys. It is important to remember because the elevator key also has the chip with which you can enter the hotel after 10pm (there's a 150 CHF fine if you forget to take it and need to call someone to let you in...) The breakfast is served at Papa John's... when we came down for it the place was deserted and only after a while a staff member came down to ask if we wanted some eggs. The breakfast buffet can be a serious contender for the Guinness Book of Records for the smallest buffet... If the above don't bother you, I wouldn't rule out staying there

Great location with attentive staff. Problem with tv dealt with and thou not fixed was offered compensation. Near old town, trams, lake and shops.

Hotel was cute but very small. Couldn't access the elevator except through the restaurant and that was not obvious at first

Very accommodating when we arrived late. Helpful staff. The restaurant below, Papa Joes, were also friendly and took pity on us when we arrived as the kitchen was closing. Good location but worth a ride from the station. Trams go close.
