My father and I traveled together to Switzerland to celebrate his sixtieth birthday, and our first stop was downtown Zurich. The kind ladies at the Franziskaner's front desk checked us in at 9 AM, and we were off to explore the narrow cobblestoned streets of the older parts of the city as well as the shores of the lake.

Stayed recently in the special Old Town or Niederdorf area, and within 10 minutes walk to central train station. Easy to get to the main downtown area, one of the best shopping areas in Europe. Hotel was accommodating and the staff friendly and helpful. Internet in the room not wireless. Breakfast in the morning very good by European status. Rooms... More

We will communicate our horrific experience and the unbelievably stressful situation they... More

This was a delightful small hotel located in the heart of town. The restaurant was also great. Close to train station. We took a cab because we were not sure where it was. I am glad we did as we probably wuld have walked right by it as it is above the restaurant Was an easy walk to the train... More
