It was the best experience to stay there, I am in love with the hotel and its magical view, i am gonna come back next year and will choose this hotel again, however this hotel is bit far from city centre zurich hut transportation is very convenient and easy to reachable. There is no elevator/esclator to carry your luggage to top floors but the hotel staff is really helpful carrying your luggage.

This was a return after a 30 year gap and whilst the hotel’s location is as beautiful as ever, and the lake view from the windows in our room was absolutely wonderful! Sadly though there is no residents bar facilities at the hotel for residents. Returning at 23:00 on Saturday night to find access to reception & the bar locked out and on knocking the waiter attended to say it was all closed now even though we were residents. So sad that we could not even get a drink to take up to our room especially as we had used up the coffee supplied in the room that day!

Fabulous!!! We couldn’t have wished for a better stay. The views from the room are beautiful and the breakfast terrace was serene. We got the train into Zurich for a gig and the transport links were nearby and ran till late. I would absolutely stay here again!

Perfect place to relax at beautiful lake!
We had a very enjoyable stay at this lovely historic hotel which is clean, tastefully decorated, spacious and has wonderful seating indoor and out to view beautiful Lake Zurich from its restaurant. Being September it was very relaxed. We enjoyed seeing people still out on the dock and in the water swimming on a gorgeous sunny warm afternoon. Dinner at the hotel was delicious and the service was great excellent and friendly. Service at the front desk when we arrived was friendly and very helpful. Our room was spacious with large windows looking out at the view of water and mountains. It was very comfortable with a comfortable bed and seating area and large bathroom with tub shower combination. Breakfast was extra good! This was the perfect stop to end our European trip and get to the Zurich airport the next day. Wish we could have stayed longer. We didn’t think to check that the hotel didn’t have an elevator so we appreciated the help bringing up our bags. Parking was across the street and over a little in a private outdoor lot but no big deal once you saw how close it was.

What a magnificent experience. Stayed here while attending the 75th Anniversary of the Carl G. Jung institute as a presenter. What an honor it was and to have such a wonderful breakfast every morning set the right tone for each day. Dinner was also fantastic and they have a special sauvignon blanc from a local vineyard that was perfectly chilled and truly "to die for".

The fact there is no lift if you have heavy bags is not great I did ask if they had a lift they said because of it being an old building they weren't allowed to install. The room was nice apart from the flat pillows.

Nice stay for the price great view
The hotel is beautiful the staff was amazing the only downside is being all the way up on 3 with no elevator and luggage and the last set of stairs are not full stairs i had to turn sideways to go up or down. Even with a restaurant right downstairs i still found my own food there just wasnt enough options available.

The lakeview room view was peaceful and beautiful. Comfortable bed. No help getting an early check-in was disappointing. No elevator, three floor walkup with no luggage help. TV remote did NOT work, which was frustrating. Restaurant had limited menu and like everything in Zurich, ridiculously overpriced: 80 CHF for ordinary lunch without wine for one person! But daily breakfast buffet was outstanding. 2km from Meilen train station, but infrequent bus across the street. The view and breakfast made it worth it, and hotel was a good value by Zurich standards.

HelloThank you for taking the time to rate us, our check-in times are clearly communicated and we cannot make any exceptions. Since our building is from the 17th century and is therefore listed as a monument, it is unfortunately no longer possible to have a lift installed later. In addition, it was not common at that time to install a lift in a three-story building.We hope that you enjoyed your stay with us and we look forward to welcoming you again.Best regardsMario HerzigManager Hotel Hirschen
