“Quiet and clean, friendly staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I loved the night I spent here. I was upgraded to a larger room and even though it was on the first floor it was very quiet. The staff was friendly and the hotel was only a 15 minute walk from downtown. There are lots of restaurants nearby and since I didn't want the French food on offer in the hotel restaurant, I went to the vegetarian cafe across the street (called Tidbits or something). This was ideal as it was self service so I didn't have to sit conspicuously for hours on my own waiting for my dinner. I went back for coffee the next morning and it was very empty and quiet. There is a very pleasant park along the river which is also peaceful. The hotel called me a cab and it arrived a bit early and it only took about 15 minutes to the get to the airport. In short, it was a seamless stay.

Thank you for your nice comment about our Hotel Ambassador. It is a pleasure to hear that you loved your stay in our hotel and that you appreciated the upgrade to a larger room. Due to our sound proofed windows it is quiet in all the rooms of our Hotel. Our Restaurant Opera has a French chef but we serve next to French food also a variety of local dishes, for example the “Sliced Veal Zurich Style”, and the cuisine is also well known for its excellent fish dishes. We are looking forward to welcome you once back with us.

Best regards,

Very friendly staff, excellent command of English, spotlessly clean rooms and reasonably priced food and drinks. I would recommend this hotel to anyone wishing to travel to Zurich and stay in a central location.

“old style solid hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 December 2011

umbrellas provided in the room was a bonus, breakfast ok and a good nights sleep had although the curtains didn't do much. The bathroom was out dated and grey as was the service.

Thank you for writing this comment. We are glad to hear that you had a good nights sleep, all our beds are equipped with electrically adjustable high quality mattresses. We would like to apologize that you got one of the four not yet renovated bathrooms. Since we are a historical building, each of our rooms is of different shape and size and has a different interior. The bathroom that was in your room is first in line for our next renovation project.

We hope to be able to welcome you once back with us.

Best regards,

“Expectations Exceeded!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 October 2011

person found this review helpful

We love staying at the Ambassador hotel! The location is centrally located, yet is quiet. The rooms are beautiful and the beds are a dream. They provide all the amenities to make your stay enjoyable including a nescafe espresso machine in the room. You get the views of lake Zurich and easy access to the altstadt (old city). Great restaurants nearby and is right across the street from the Opera. I would highly recommend staying here and look forward to our next visit.

Room Tip: Higher floors have better views. Both the single and double rooms are nice depending on your needs.
