“Small and friendly business hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 September 2008

My family and I stayed at the Hotel Lorze (pronounced "lortsay") for two weeks. The reason for our choice was the need for easy access to Zug.
The Lorze is a small business hotel: three storeys and under forty rooms. It is located centrally in the town of Cham on the "Dorfplatz" (ie. Village Square) which is actually a very modern civic plaza with theatre, gallery and library. The architectural style is "swiss modern functional", rather plain and severe. Business people patronize it because it is easy to get to Zug either by car, train or bus. Our standard rooms were adequate for a three-star hotel. The suites are very nice indeed. There is free car parking in the basement. The rooms are kept very clean every day. The staff is very pleasant and helpful. The breakfast is a typical cold buffet.
Cham is not a tourist destination but a pleasant dormitory town with some light industry. The beautiful "Villette" park and Zugersee lake are only two minutes walk away and the whole area is very beautiful. There are shops, restaurants and banks close to the Lorze. Swiss law requires shops to close early on Saturday evenings and all day Sundays, which is why the place appears to be deserted at times. If you need something on Sunday the "Avec" convenience store at the railway station is the only place open. The locals enjoy healthy outdoor leisure pursuits ie. cycling, walking and swimming in the lake. We found Cham and the Hotel Lorze to be very pleasant and very quiet.
It is hard to quantify "value for money" because everything is expensive here.

“Chamclosed”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 August 2008

A party of 8, we stayed 7 days across a "public holiday" the bar was never open and the restaurant open just 3 out of the 7.
There is no lounge or meeting space other than the sparse area in the open, to the front of the hotel.
Cham was shut most of the time we were there. Zug a much better bet.
The underground car park whilst not secure suited our party as we were attending a classic MG car event in Zug.
The rooms were clean and the top floor rooms had balconies, otherwise no view.
Staff at breakfast were good and front of house, although not 24 hours were ok. Breakfast good. Did not manage to eat in the restaurant.

“Located in Center of Town”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 March 2008
1
person found this review helpful

I stayed at this hotel during a business trip to Switzerland. Cham is a small town close to Zug, located on the same lake. It is not far from Lucerne.

We selected this hotel since it was very close to the visit we were making the next morning and the center city location gave us plenty of choices for dining.

The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful when we arrived. They pointed out a good jogging location and a couple of restaurant choices for us.

The room was fairly large. Clean with two single beds and a desk. The bathroom was also nice. The place seemed quite new and modern. The whole area appeared to have been constructed fairly recently.

There were many restaurants in the area to choose from. We walked around the town for a while and decided to eat at one that specialized in local food - the Restaurant Milchseudi, just across the river/canal from the hotel. The food was very good there.

Before dinner, I ran down past the train station to the lake and ran around part of the lake on a good path. There are no work out facilities at the hotel, just a smokey bar and restaurant.

Breakfast was a good buffet selection. I would recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a basic overnight stay. Its advantage is its location.
