If you make your reservation with booking.com you will save money and.....space. That is, the room will not have a view and will probably be smaller that the other rooms. Clean, confortable, old but good quality towels, very TINY bathroom, average breakfast. Staff nice and competent. Old building but well kept. Very central. A bit expensive for what it is.

I stayed in the Hirschen hotel for one night. Staff was very friendly and accomodating, I really appreciated it. The hotel is very well located, in the heart of the city - very nice. The room was OK, very simple and for the price, i think they could provide something better. What really annoyed me was that there were no... More

As other reviewers have said, the hotel is convenient for the railway station and for visiting Zurich as it is right in the Old Town. My room was clean and bright with comfortable beds. The bathroom was a little small, but adequate. Despite being in an area of Zurich with noisy night-life I didn't have a problem with being disturbed.... More

The hotel is only 10 minutes away from the station and in the middle of the Old Town. It's perfectly located to visit the complete city and to enjoy the bars and restaurants. The rooms are small but very clean. Of course the official pictures and the description don't fit 100%. The furniture is ikea and the walls of our... More

I chose this hotel as it is described as being in the center of the old town and near the train station (about a 10min walk). The hotel is definitely located centrally, close to the lake, the river, the old city and the train station but in my opinion that's about the best thing about it. Staff are also very... More

Dear Alkis_H Thank you for your review about your recent stay. The Hirschen is located in a historic, over 500 years old building and so our rooms will never be equipped with modern furniture as this would not match. But there are some slight renovations planned in the winter months, such as new TV's, news carpets and wall painting and... More

The ugly: Loud at night due to the alley downstairs, but simultaneously entertaining to hear the kids singing drinking songs. The bad: small shower with an odd little curtain, but clean, with good water pressure and good hot water. The good: I found the bed comfy, bright room with several opening windows kept it breezy. When we looked out our... More

First of all, the destination is really great. The price was also convenient, so the several negative moments (like small room and bathroom) receded into the background. The service was really nice, for example, we were offered to drink a cup of coffee while checking in. The breakfast was not fancy, just some bread, eggs, cheese and ham, cereals and... More

The location is excellent being close to tourist sites and the central railway station. Spoilt by having no mini-bar, no flat screen TV (although hotel ad stated as providing such) only an older style that was faulty, and stingy with electric lighting - so bad could hardly read at night.

The place is noisy, dirty and below par. People sitting chatting on the stairs inside the hotel and rowdies on the roads outside for most of the night. The only redeeming feature is the location of the hotel.

The hotel location is great, 10 minutes walking from the train station and just in the center of Zurich. The staff were very gentle and kind to us, and the room was perfect, small, but clean and quiet. I totally recommend this hotel to people that just want a good place to sleep and walk around the city.
