Stayed with family (includes 3 kids). Had trouble getting here. No clear directions from reception. The bar downstairs doubles up as front office after the front office shuts at 6 pm. You are alone after bar shuts. a bit scary. Web site is misleading. Rooms are okay. But beware if u have luggage to lug up. Tiny elevator. Has a... More

My mom and I stayed at Hotel Otter on our first night in Switzerland. The hotel was close to the Standelhofen train station and very easy to find. The room was clean and comfortable. We did not mind sharing the bathroom. We never had to wait for a turn. The location is fantastic. The hotel is in the Old Town... More

Clean - Room was nice enough and clean, only only share the bathrooms whith 3 other rooms. Location - is as good as it gets, in the old part of town and close to the river. Breakfast - Is as basic as you can imagine, just bread and cold meats, however it is high quality so we were happy enough.... More

Stayed at Hotel Otter for one night in October 2011. Stayed at the blue room, with 3 other friends. The room was on the 2nd floor, right above the bar. It was really, really, really noisy at night, till the wee hours in the morning. Bring ear plugs, ipods, anything to stuff your ears really! The receptionist was nice enough,... More

We've stayed for 2 nights only, but love it there -nice spacious room with the balcony! We've had nice room decor (African) and the view above the roofs from our window and balcony was just the best! We also liked their breakfast a lot. The only down side is nobody at the front desk after 8 pm, it was actually... More

Me and my sister only stayed here for one night, but the room was excellent. All rooms in this hotel has different, unique themes, they are clean and the location is perfect in the old town close to the main train station. The staff is nice and the breakfast is very good. Recommended! More

This is a relaxed, comfortable spot for artistic souls who want to pay a reasonable price (approx. $150/night including breakfast) and be centrally located in Zurich. Pluses: In the very comfortable "Japan" room where we stayed, the mattresses were fantastic. There's a sink in the room; the bathroom is shared. No one else stayed on our floor while we were... More

We stayed in a four person room - there was a double bed and two singles, a sink with mirror and a fridge. The room was nicely decorated, but it did get warm and there was no air conditioning. The windows opened onto the street, so it was noisy at night. Each floor has three rooms and the bathroom facilities... More
