Zurich hotels are expensive so this hotel is excellent value for money. Great location only 5 minutes walk from the Hauptbahnhof (main railway station). Note: don't haul bags up the steps. Walk about another 150m up the road and you will find a ramp which comes up direction in front of the hotel. Be sure to ask for one of... More

My family and I stayed here numerous times! This is a great hotel, located just minutes away from the Zurich HB train station. We truly enjoy the personal service provided by all the front desk staff and the servers at Time-Out Restaurant (their breakfast is amazing). We never really felt like guests, we felt more like family! We will definitely... More

Stayed here in December 2011 with my wife and two daughters. An easy 10-minute walk from the main railway station. Friendly woman at receptionist. One of my daughters said that she found her the most polite of all hotel staff members we have come across in Europe. We got a good, comfortable room big enough for the four of us.... More

The hotel has an ideal position between the central station and both universities (ETH and University of Zurich) which means the about 60% of its clients belong to academia. It is nice, the rooms are proper, I had a modern bathroom; broadband Wifi is complimentary, the breakfast buffet is rich. Thus the hotel fully deserves its three stars. More

We only had one night at Hotel St. Josef but were quite pleased. It is close to the Central Station. Remember to check out special exhibits in the Central Station such as a Farmers Market and Christmas Market. Cross the Limmat River then a slight uphill/step walk towards the University. We had a large room with twin beds but a... More

I've stayed in a few hotels in Zurich over the years but I reckon this one is top of my list at the moment for location and quality. It was my first time at this hotel and I'd booked a single room for 2 nights. Central Zurich single rooms tend to be a bit cramped unless you pay the earth... More

We had a modern, spacious, clean room. The guy who checked us in was friendly, helpful, and spoke perfect English. He even showed us to our room. The breakfast was very good with the nicest lady greeting people. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. A real value in a city with astronomical hotel prices. More

Liked this place a lot for one of the most expensive places on earth. Staff was good humored and attentive. Location was good to old town area. Breakfast was great. One word if walking from train which is why we stayed there...go one block past the stairs they suggest and take the ramp! They should change walking directions to go... More
