Hotel UTO KULM car-free hideaway in Zurich

All is good except the road to the hotel.

Access is a nightmare requiring 2 different busses and a 10 minute walk up a steep/stepped gravel drive way. No air con in the rooms was also not expected for a 4 star hotel.

Hotel is awesome. 2 things, the number to call to come get bags from train station didn’t work for us(could be user error). And coffee in the morning isn’t available till 7. Really wished they had any kind of option to make your own in lobby or something for ppl that are up early. The room machines don’t cut it.

Fantastic location, facilities, staff and breakfast. If you have time to travel out of the city to stay then highly recommend.

My only real complaint is that the property is labeled "car free", Yet I was sad to see multiple delivery trucks parked right outside my window and a personal car parked at the steps to rooms there all night too. Even saw a taxi dropping off as I hiked in. Yet I booked this excited about the car free idea, so I took the train up and it's not a long hike in from there. Yet this is a luxury hotel I'd say, and ritzy guest don't like to walk with luggage. I get that. So don't call it car free or say "car free for the lower end guest". LOL The staff was very nice and so was my room. Breakfast buffet a super nice selection. Great views from the area but it rained and so I didn't get to hike or go up the tower. I do recommend this place, especially if wanting a romantic get-away night. TW

Beautiful views. Solid restaurant and very peaceful spa area.

Amazing views, quiet in the evenings. Definitely a walk up hill to the property, but they do come to pick up your luggage at the bottom and transport it up. About a 20 min train ride very convenient for public transportation. I recommend getting the Zurich card you get free entrance to museums and unlimited public transportation. They also will provide adaptor when ask, which definitely came in handing as I completely forgot. Enjoyed our stay.

I love the location. The hotel is ok. We booked 2 days. We arrived on the 31st and left on the 2nd of Jan. New Years eve the hotel has a private party and a private dinner for people who made reservations. At night around 11pm I went outside and took pictures because the view is amazing. As I go back inside, I'm not sure if thats a security guard, I didn't ask. He stopped and interrogated me for entering the hotel saying theres a private party going on and it's for guests only. So I said im a guest of the hotel but i didn't make reservation of the party . He didn't believe me and demanded proof of a guest key and an ID. So i showed my guest key and entered. He still follwed me to the main lobby and and asked the receptionist to check. People were looking at me at that time, like im gate crashing. So i showed the receptionists my rm key and the receptionists asked me to write my name which i complied. The computer verified that i checked in for 2 days. Afterwards, both of them didn't even apologize. Im a traveler. I've been to luxurious hotels and have never been interrogated or harassed like that. I didn't tell my boys because I didn't want to ruin their New year. We were there for the view, and that was the last leg of our vacation. The only thing that makes me feel better are the cats that are always in the lobby early in the morning. Those sweet cats made me feel better during our last day at the hotel.

Business trip overnight, warm welcom from the crew, wonderful view on Zürich, lots of friendly places to share a nice moment with friends, or colleagues.

I have a bit of a mixed review, one staff provided repeatedly hostile service, and made me want to leave the morning after check in. He was the evening worker who checked us in. The hostility carried into booking our spa time, and I avoided the front desk and him after this. The hotel itself was lovely, I enjoyed the views, the food, and found my room very comfortable. The other staff made up for it, specifically Yvonne. I was pleased to have such positive interaction with everyone else upthere. there. Theprovide read re

Nice place. Very recommended.

Its an hotel form yourself or being with friends and family in a nature and eco-friendly environment

Breathtaking view,The staff were friendly and helpful.we would deffnitely come back!!!!

Got there at 9pm so we walked the hill in the dark. It was adequately lit. Our triple room was much larger than expected. Bed was beyond comfortable! The shower was small but had great water pressure. No conditioner - that was tough. Restaurant was pricey but the food was fabulous. Can’t go wrong with this place!

Nice location, clean, friendly staff. 10 minutes uphill hike from train station to get there.

Perfect view. The employees was very helpful. Room was quite large and clean.

Amazing place

Woderfull location with amazing view and deliciouse food.

Hiking up with luggage to the train station stunk, but the view and restaurant were great. Room and service okay - hot without AC

Staying at the top of Zurich is great. However it was troubling having to pull our luggage up a huge hill to get to the hotel. And they also had no air conditioning in the room. With it being summer, it was absolutely boiling in the room. However, nice stay, the view and the restaurant are great.
