“FANTASTIC”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 October 2009

people found this review helpful

I researched TripAdvisor to try and find something special in a city that is notoriously expensive. I came across the Palais Kraft and knew straight away that this was the place. We arrived at the apartment around 8am in the morning after a very, very long flight from Australia. Martin Frank knew we were coming from Australia and had our room ready for us to go straight into - UNBELIEVABLE!!

The room was immaculate, spacious and well appointed with lots of hanging space for clothes etc. The kitchenette was stocked with quality complimentary snacks and drinks. Use of the sauna and Wi Fi were also free. Breakfast was simple and delicious.

Nothing was too much trouble for Martin or his staff. One night we were having trouble finding the restaurant that we had booked for the evening. Martin, who doesn't live on the premises, came back to the Palais Kraft and picked us up and dropped us off at the restaurant. Now that's service.

This is our third trip to Zurich and I wish I had known about this 'hidden gem' long ago. Wouldn't stay anywhere else when we return to this delightful city.

Thanks Matin and staff for making our stay special.

“Fantastic Hotel. Superb hospitality in a beautiful part of Zurich”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 July 2009

people found this review helpful

This is definitely the place to stay if you ever visit Zurich. A great hotel in a very beautiful part of the city with rooms that can be easily described as self contained apartments. Each room comes with its own utility room, bedroom, fully equipped kitchen and garden. There is a full size fridge which is restocked daily with drinks (beer, soft drinks, wine etc.) included in the price of the room. The breakfast is delivered every morning to your room and is fresh and well presented. The hotel also has a secure car park operated with swipe cards which is free of charge. The hotel manager and staff are very friendly and they will make you feel like home. There are also a couple of mountain bikes for the guests. The city centre is only about 10 minutes by tram and transport in Zurich is very punctual and regular.

“Probably the best hotel I've stayed in”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 September 2007

people found this review helpful

I travel a fair amount on business and this hotel is probably the best I've stayed in in terms of quality, cleanliness and service. Rooms are immaculate and as one of the other reviews states, includes a kitchenette fully stocked with snacks, cereal, beer, wine, champagne, juices, milk etc. and a superb coffee machine - all of which is complimentary. Wireless internet is also included as is use of the sauna and mountain bike hire. The host, Martin Frank is so friendly and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble.

It makes such a change to find a hotel that doesn't try to catch you out with hidden extra's. Unless you really need to be in the town centre I would pick this hotel every time.

  • Liked — Superb standard and excellent service - room is full of food/drink and its all complimentary
  • Disliked — Nothing

“Palais Kraft is a great hotel that no one knows is a hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 May 2007

I stayed for a week in the Palais Kraft hotel in Zurich, on a business trip. Wonderful hotel, especially if you're looking for something a little different. The thing is, no one in Zurich, including the cab drivers, has ever heard of the place. That's because the hotel is just one floor of a much larger building that houses a liposuction clinic, among other businesses. But don't let that put you off. The advantages of it more than make up for it. The few rooms that make up the Palais are:
1. Spotlessly clean and excellently maintained.
2. They have kitchennettes with stove, dishwasher, expresso machine, and full size refrigerator. And the room comes with a cell phone that you can carry with you and use for local calls.
3. The fridge is kept stocked with soda, beer, wine, whiskey, ice cream, chocolate, juice, yogurt, bottled water and other things. And fresh fruit, potato chips, and coffee are always stocked to the room as well. And all of it, is free. That's right, FREE. And breakfast (juices, breads, yogurt, cereal, milk, etc) is placed outside your door each morning.
4. The rooms have wireless internet access and many have direct patio access.

The guy who runs the place, Martin Frank, is the extremely helpful and always available for any needs. I've never been in a hotel with better service. The price was 330CH a night.

So if you don't mind having to explain to your cab driver that, yes, that big white building at 33 Kraftstrause actually contains a hotel, try the place out!
