I loved this little hotel.Yes, as other reviewers have said, the elevator is small. Yes, there is a bar downstairs. Yes, you will have to share a bathroom with the floor (which only consists of three rooms anyway). But, you're in Europe. In many hotels the elevator will be small and your bathroom is outside of your room. The hotel... More

You need to suspend some expectations staying here. You stay for the location, the zany appearance and atmosphere, and the cost, not for luxury, or pampering (or a large elevator!).

Hotel Otter was fairly reasonably priced when compared with all other expensive hotel prices in the area. The hotel is centrally located, just up a short road from the lake and river waterfront, tram stop junction and close to Stadelhofen train station. Locating the hotel was quite easy. Hotel Otter is a very small hotel consisting of a bar at... More

Stayed with family (includes 3 kids). Had trouble getting here. No clear directions from reception. The bar downstairs doubles up as front office after the front office shuts at 6 pm. You are alone after bar shuts. a bit scary. Web site is misleading. Rooms are okay. But beware if u have luggage to lug up. Tiny elevator. Has a... More

My mom and I stayed at Hotel Otter on our first night in Switzerland. The hotel was close to the Standelhofen train station and very easy to find. The room was clean and comfortable.

Stayed at Hotel Otter for one night in October 2011. Stayed at the blue room, with 3 other friends. The room was on the 2nd floor, right above the bar. It was really, really, really noisy at night, till the wee hours in the morning. Bring ear plugs, ipods, anything to stuff your ears really! The receptionist was nice enough,... More

We've stayed for 2 nights only, but love it there -nice spacious room with the balcony! We've had nice room decor (African) and the view above the roofs from our window and balcony was just the best! We also liked their breakfast a lot. The only down side is nobody at the front desk after 8 pm, it was actually... More

Me and my sister only stayed here for one night, but the room was excellent. All rooms in this hotel has different, unique themes, they are clean and the location is perfect in the old town close to the main train station. The staff is nice and the breakfast is very good. Recommended!
