Hotel is a bit confusing, looked like a hostel at first. Bed was too small for two people, they dont have reception that works regulary (I went to reception desk to ask for a hairdryer 5 times durring day, nobody was there). But, overall hotel is not expensive and if you dont look for a deluxe place to stay it... More

If you travel alone the bed should be fin for two adults it is definitiv to small. The room it self is nearly clean. If you need a hairdryer it's better to bring your own, we asked for one but didn't get it. As well do not trust the information about the prices of the public transportation system. They told...

I was in Zurich on a business trip for a week and I was looking for somewhere where I could feel more at home than in a sterile hotel room. The rooms in California House are very simple but there is everything you need; there is a little but well-equipped kitchen where you can make your breakfast or evening meal.... More

A great value for expensive Zurich. A very clean hotel, with fresh white linens and towels. Some people seem irritated by the kiosk check-in after 7 PM, but we had no problems with it. The rooms are small, but cute and modern. Soft, comfortable beds with white duvets. A nice set of table and chairs to relax in. We also... More

California House is set in a great location. A 10 minute tram ride from the center of Zurich, trams run very frequently! The rooms are very clean and have everything you may need - small kitchenette, large closet, TV/PC, access to a laundry! For anyone looking for a long stay or something self-contained you cant go wrong with this hotel!... More

The price is very reasonable. The location is excellent. The rooms are small but functional, especially if you want a desk on which to work on a laptop. The wi-fi is VERY fast (15 mbps) which was a delight. No gym, no real lobby. But otherwise, a great choice for Zurich. Check your reservation for when "check-in time" is. There... More

We popped into Zurich as part of a road trip, checked the internet for a room, and thought this hotel looked decent value and fairly central - and it was. It appears to be geared up for businesspeople spending a few days in town, and as such the rooms are of a studio apartment style, with a small kitchen. Functional,... More
