“A very convenient place to enjoy Zurich”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012
5
people found this review helpful

Lad'ys First hotel has been my favourite for at least past 6 years. Yes, it is very conveniently situated close to my company's building on Bellerive, barely 5' to walk, but there are more reasons than just this one to explain why I wouldn't go elsewhere.
No-fuss, simple, well-designed, reasonably quiet (no trafic through the street, although one can hear some faint rumbling from adjacent main street at peak times), very clean, very silent elevator, nice rooms, excellent bedding, WiFi in all rooms, private bathroom/toilet in every room, most windows equipped with roller blinds that can keep the sun out in the morning, etc...
Breakfast is a good moment in Lady's First, not especially because of a very large offer on the buffet, although there is plenty, but because you'll find here the same atmosphere of friendly and pleasant welcome with good smiles and a total absence of stress that you would get from the desk upon your arrival.
You want a detail that gives it all? Everytime I would get into my room, just coming from airport, I would find a nice card with a few words of welcome and thanks for having once again chosen the Lady's First, together with a few fruits on a plate!
And yes, by the way, despites its name, this is not a Ladies Only place.
Only drawback: a very creaking wooden floor in some rooms which means you can be awakened earlier than expected if one of these rooms is above your head...

Room Tip: Just avoid room 102 which is situated just above the kitchen used to prepare breakfast: the rumbling...

“Cosy, welcoming and well organized.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

I had to book a last minute room in the area. The hotel reception was welcoming, I was upgraded to a superior room which I found cosy, clean and confortable. Bathtub could have been slightly bigger. Breakfast was good and varied, quick employees, kind and all speaking a very good English. Positive experience indeed.

“Noisy floors the only let down”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012 via mobile
3
people found this review helpful

Similar to other reviews this hotel is 3 stars and is a good three star hotel. Our room was clean, the staff were very helpful and we were surprised and. very happy that we were able to have our room early when we arrived in Zurich around 8am despite the normal 3pm check-in. However when the guests above us got home that night (after we were in bed) we were awoken by their footsteps. There are now rugs and slippers in each room but the floor is still very noisy.

“best kept secret in Zurich (and i Iive here!)”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012
3
people found this review helpful

I stayed here in 2008 and it took me so long to write this review... maybe because I want it to be a secret!
I'm a local but was staying in the hotel for a couple of days with a friend who was visiting Switzerland. Also men feel at home in the hotel.
The location is spot on, a block from the beautiful Zurich lake.You can walk everywhere or the the tram (next stop is very close). You can acually walk next to the lake to get to the hotel, very very nice.
Breakfast is absolutely wonderful. It is a small room which makes you feel very relaxed and they make fresh eggs for you. Bread is very lovely. For me breakfast is very important and I was not let down. Be aware: breakfast in the city will easily cost you 20, 30 francs, Sunday brunches easily 50 francs per person. Enjoy the breakfast in the hotel.
Room is very spacious and I loved loved loved the bathroom. I do not like big hotel complexes so this hotel makes you feel very welcome but typical Swiss, the staff is very discret but always there when you need them.
Hotel prices in Zurich are outrageous but with this hotel I think you get a lot for your hard earned money.

“Nice hotel for correct price at super location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I always visit this hotel when visiting my family in Zurich. They have large rooms where they put an extra double mattrass on the floor for our two children? The hotel is a mix of old and design, which is very nice done. The rooms are extreemly clean. Breakfast is very good and included in the price. They have a nice SPA but only for women (men not allowed). Thats why ladies First in the name...
The hotel is located near (3 min by food) at the lake of Zurich in the better erea of Zurich. There are plenty of nice restaurants in the surrounding streets. Only negative point - no own parking...
