Hotel Schweizerhof AG

Overall, I really liked this hotel. There were really only 2 negative features but I have to say, both were quite major. It seems that none of the bedroom windows have «proper» curtains or blinds, only thin voiles. This means that the room is very light at dawn. In my case, it also let in light from the large neon signs across the street. Secondly, I find pillows in continental Europe hotels very soft. Even with 2 pillows, once my head lay on them it was as if they had disappeared! Getting a good night’s sleep is vital for me, so for these 2 reasons I was disappointed.
However, the rooms themselves are great. I paid for a basic single room but was assigned a spacious double on the top floor. Very clean and airy. I liked the good WiFi signal, though a bit fiddly to login each time. I also liked the free soft drinks fridges on floors 2, 3 & 4. Great sound proofing too, even at the front of the hotel.
If you don’t mind the light or soft pillows, this is a great hotel choice.

Friendly check-​in. Our experience was enhanced by fact our room was ready upon our extremely early arrival (7:00AM). THANK YOU!
Knowledgable and pleasant front desk staff. Asked about best money exchange (do it at the train station) and staff memeber was extremely helpful, I think the gentlemen might have walked us there if we asked.
Comfortable bed. Oversized shower. Fun amenities. Complimentary bottle of water.
Nice extras. Free public transit pass for duration of our stay was very much appreciated and unexpected. In addition, there are complimentary beverages on floors 2,3,4 (sparkling/​still water; reg/​diet coke; ice tea; orange juice, milk) Very nice touch!
Exellent location, less than 5 minute walk from train station.
Doors lock at 1AM; have to ring to get access.
Overall: Excellent value and location. Highly recommend for business or holiday travel.
Can’t comment on the breakfast, wasn’t included in our rate but other reviewers seem pleased.

The Swiss are known for hospitality,
and at Schweizerhof, that‘s their specialty!
The rooms: nice and big, and a treat of morokopf,
English news channels, a giant shower tops it off!
Breakfast was fantanstic, birchermüsli and fruit,
breads, laks, and cheese, fresh coffee to suit!
It‘s right next to the bahnhof, and the tram station,
after a night at Schweizerhof, you‘ll be filled with jubilation!

Recently updated rooms. I payed 195.- CHF a night. It’s right next to the SBB central station. Rooms are nice and clean. Staff friendly. Nice little breakfast buffet. They provide free WiFi and Mobility Pass (public transportation). Downtown with lots of restaurants, bars, movie theaters and shopping is in walking distance.

Schweizerhof is an updated (2009) hotel with a great location right outside the SBB station. There are many options for food nearby including Starbucks or Tchibo for your morning caffeine fix.
The rooms are spacious and modern with hardwood floors. Our first room was facing outside towards the station. The balcony was nice to view the action, but it was too noisy for the likes of us. If you’re a light sleeper, request a room on the back side. There are ambient rooms with a bath tub and fitness rooms with exercise equipment available for a surcharge.
I like the Yves Rocher products despite the strong fragrance, but there is no hair conditioner. Wi-​Fi, mobility card (s) for the use of public transit, and breakfast are included in your room rate. Since there isn’t a restaurant on-​site, the breakfast is limited and no room service is available with the exception of drinks and some hot snacks. There are no minibars in your room, but there are complementary bars with water and soft drinks on a few floors.
The staff has been helpful to make sure we have everything we need to be comfortable.
