A very nice hotel that has done a wonderful job with upgrades. The room was clean, roomy, efficient and nicely decorated. Most impressive was the soundproofing. As a noise sensitive sleeper this is important to me. There is a train line that runs out front and an elevator just outside the room in the hallway, but I heard neither of them. About the only issue was that, despite our best efforts, we couldn't get the room to cool off. We turned the thermostat down, and opened the windows during the afternoon/evening, but the temp actually went up in the room overnight after we closed the windows. Breakfast was excellent.

Can't believe this hotel is 3 star, it feels 4 star at least! Big room, very modern, great amenities, lovely bathroom, very central! Lovely staff who go beyond to help tourists. Great restaurant with a good choice for breakfast. Would definitely recommend!

The front desk staff are lovely. Our room was beautiful. The cleaning staff did a great job. It is well located. It came with breakfast which had the best jam in the world for the croissants. It is very near to one of the museums and within walking distance of nice reasonably priced restaurants. I would return.

Hotel is very conveniently located to go sightseeing. You can easy get everywhere using public transportation. Room has a very good size and breakfast has a fair variety of options. Staff is pretty friendly also. There are some opportunities for improvement though: bathroom is not very functional if you want to take a shower (instead of using the bathtub), pillows and other bed accessories could be more comfortable, cleaning service starts early in the morning making a lot of noise. Anyway this hotel is a very good option and I would definitely recommend it.

Excellent hotel! The room was quiet, comfortable, super-clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good too. I wasn't expecting 5 stars for the reasonable price, but it beat many 5* hotels I have stayed at. Thank you!

We arrived at Hotel St. Josef after a long international flight. The service was great and our room was spacious and comfortable. Everything was very clean and well decorated. The location is a short walk from the train station (but it is up a little hill which could be tricky dragging luggage). Plenty of nearby restaurants but a little removed so a quiet location. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others. I especially liked the breakfast buffet which had a variety of options and a wonderful welcoming service crew.

We went to Zurich on an impromptu Christmas market trip. After researching numerous hotels we decided on St Josef’s. What a gem. I’m so happy we stayed here because of its location and how quiet it was. The room was clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. The breakfast was just enough to get your morning started. Coffee machine was my fav Front desk staff was above and beyond friendly and informative I cannot say enough about this charming hotel.

One of the nicest Hotels I’ve ever stayed in. Super helpful staff at reception who helped me with finding the places I needed to go, explaining to me how to get there i.e. which bus or tram, (and at one point a funicular railway!) where to board it etc. They had the tickets at Reception and simply added them onto my bill. I’d also left my plug adaptors in London. No problem, use these and hand them back when you leave. I had mail to send. No problem. We’ll do that for you and the cost of postage was added onto my bill. They printed my Boarding Pass the day before I left. So helpful. They couldn’t have made it any easier. Thank you to them all. The rooms are recently refurbished and are of high quality as are the furnishings. Great location where you can walk to pubs and restaurants in a couple of minutes. About five or six minutes walk to the train station which is effectively in the centre of town. Breakfast was included where there was a good selection to choose from. All in all a very pleasant stay. My compliments to the staff who were an absolute credit to the Hotel. Thank you.

Stayed here two separate nights i.e. overnight after flying into Zurich and then before the flight out of Zurich. The rooms are newly renovated, clean and very comfortable. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Close proximity to train station, although there's a bit of an uphill incline walk near to the hotel. Close to restaurants and shops, and walking distance to Kunsthaus museum. Would recommend, provided you're ok with the short uphill walk (but it'll be downhill on the way back to the train station).
