This was a very nice hotel, after our 8 hour overnight flight from Chicago, to Zurich. In general, hotel prices in Switzerland tend to be a bit higher than the U.S., but after that initial adjustment, we felt the location of this hotel was ideal for our 1 1/2 day stay in Zurich. It's located on a cobblestone alley, (Rossligasse), right in the center of old town! This was ideal for us, as we either walked or used public transportation for our entire stay in Switzerland. We noticed that air conditioning is not widely used in Switzerland, and the summer months can be warm, but we opened our room windows and used a provided fan to keep comfortable. We are "early raisers" so we enjoyed the breakfast available at the hotel (20 CHF per person), but a good breakfast was beneficial with a full day of walking. This hotel is close to many beautiful churches, with exceptional clock towers, and is very close the the Limmat river and wonderful walks along it's banks.

I have visited Zürich many, many times and I always stay at the Rössli. In total, I have easily more than 20 stays at this hotel.

The location is perfect for whatever you want to do in the city centre and walking distance to the Hauptbahnhof, alternatively with a tram stop just a few minutes walk away.

The rooms are white and minimalistic, yet very cosy and functional. The bath rooms are decorated in mosaics, there is a roomy minibar and a small TV with international news. There is also a fan. The breakfast buffet is small but the choice is very exquisitely selected with fresh bakery bread of different kinds, local cheese and cold cuts and the best bircher müsli I know - lot's of apples and fruit.

The only draw back is that the alley (Rössligasse) outside can be a little noisy as there two bars located there. They are not open very late, however, and do not play music. Ear plugs are a standard amenity in the room, should you need them. The ventilation is a little so-so so windows need to be open in the summer, but small wonder since this a modern boutique hotel in a very, very old building. Check out the old wooden beams in the breakfast room.

The service is extremely friendly and helpful - all of the hotel has a wonderful atmostphere!

Really good Hotel Facade is nothing to write home about but rooms are clean light and good decor. Free WiFi available in all the rooms.Staff very friendly and helpful and the bar is cosy and welcoming. Quiet side street right in the middle of all the bars and restaurants. All in all a great place. We will definately stay there again on our next trip to Zurich

We arrived early in the morning by overnight flight, always a problem. Although there were no rooms available for the early check-in , the staff leaned over backwards to accommodate us and we were in our (upgraded) room just after 10 oclock! We were very impressed by the way that everybody took a personal interest in our well being.
