Horrible check in process

This is a beautiful hotel located on top of a hill. The view on the backside is amazing. You can see part of lake Thun and the mountain range. It has a balcony on the back side overlooking the mountain and the lake. We visited in early September, but still was a bit hot. Room has a fan that helped. The staff was very helpful.

Good stay at a very well-located hotel. For my 35th anniversary, the hotel upgraded my room. I really appreciate it. I will stay here again.

On arrival it seemed a little small compared to the picture but actually it suited our needs perfectly. It was clean, the shower was amazing, they had a cupboard where you could refill your coffee pods (yes they had a decent coffee machine with pods included!). The kitchenette was tiny yet perfect with everything you could want, a double ring hob, fridge, and built-in dishwasher which was one of the drawers in the kitchen unit and everything was in great condition and well looked after. Positioned near lots of shops in Zurich, 7 mins walk from the train station and about 20 mins walk from the old part of the city it was perfect for our week stay. Top tip, eating out is hell expensive and the local supermarket does amazing fresh, high quality food, we certainly did that a few nights 😊. Also if you're going on any coach trips to a high mountain peak, don't buy your cable car tickets on the coach unless you've checked it's clear weather at the top before you get there as it might be in cloud! There's always other activities nearby with great scenery around those locations. We loved Zurich and the apartment, we would thoroughly recommend it and we would certainly stay there again.
