Calanca Valley Cheap Vacations

I wish I knew the closest train was out of service before booking. I loved the hotel and the nearby walks/hikes, but it takes an hour to get to town. They have a replacement bus service (two separate buses) to the next closest station. Those buses only run from 6:20am to midnight. This is rough for some travellers. It is also hard to figure out how to get there at first. Our map took us to the bottom of the mountain at the back side instead of the front, and we had to hike up with our stuff. Avoid the tram - take the nearest train to Schweighof train station then catch the two busses near (EV1 or EV2)z Do not book this place if you have an early morning or late night planned - you will be paying too much money in taxis. Overall the location is beautiful, and we loved our stay. I just can’t stress enough how the location is quite tough for a person who is not familiar with the area and the transit. Avoid Apple & Google maps and rely on the Zurich metro website. We spent a lot of time in the hotel as it was harder to get and stay in town for long periods. If you love to come & go from town and eat out for every meal, avoid staying here. The hotel food is extremely pricy. You need to make grocery runs and take back food as there are no other close options.

Great hotel and location. Excellent service

Booked Home Hotel Zurich with low expectations; ended up being really impressed. The staff were friendly and welcoming, the breakfast was excellent, and while the rooms were small, they were very clean and comfortable. Great value and service overall; would definitely stay again.

Beautiful location with views of the water and mountains. Was able to check in a little early. Front desk couldn’t be nicer and helped with all of our needs and questions. Great staff all around. Delicious breakfast and nice lounge.

Beautiful Hotel in a beautiful location

We really enjoyed staying here. We were able to check in early after a really long flight. Everyone was friendly. We spent a lot of time in the bar and loved Ronnie the bartender. The food was good especially the gnocchi soup. Our view was great and despite it being like really busy outside we didn’t hear any of it. Our room was lovely as well

All good at this Hotel. Outstanding staffs in the reception and breakfast area. The rooms were comfortable with both coffee machine and kettle provided. Considerate enough to provide us with umbrella when the rail played spoil sport.The breakfast had a good spread, with a very welcoming Mexian and Asian cuisine. With lake Limmat on the side and other major streets within walkable distance, the location is unbeatable.Overall good stay, will definitely be back.

Pros: 5 star amenity rooms, incredibly friendly, multilingual staff, always smiling and accommodating. Cons: Despite how tall the building is, it's very tucked away, misleadingly far from the city centre and difficult to find - even for a couple of taxi drivers I was with.

Room was clean area a couple blocks away was a little suspect. Not bad for the money a unique place

Room was clean. Location is perfect, near to all your needs except skiing.

Very clean, friendly helpful staff, great stay!
