This classic Swiss hotel has slowly but surely been stepping up its game, which after staying here for the past six years, finally induces me to write a review. Glarnischoff is a 70’s style Zurich business hotel: solid, simple, lacking in sophistication. But it is small, well run, welcoming, and very comfortable. In other words, an island of stability during... More

The hotel was in a good downtown location,but it was a $75 taxi ride to the airport. The staff was nice and farily helpful unless you needed help in English. We found Zurich, in general, the least helpful for English travelers during our trip of 16 days in 5 countries. The hotel was very expensive for what you got. Not... More

Not cozy, but sleek, efficient, professional, with a most helpful staff. The hotel is well located for walking in Zurich. Highly recommend. The room (a Relax room) was spacious, clean, and very quiet. I would definitely stay here again. Nice little bar and lovely breakfast buffet included. The staff were universally helpful, no matter what silly question we had. The... More

Great hotel ideally located in the central part of Zurich. Close to local trams, the main station is a 15 minute walk away, the Lake is a 5 minute stroll. The public areas are a little tired but the room was excellent with a great range of TV channels, coffee maker, complimentary fruit and water, large cumfy bed and plenty... More

The Glärnischhof is located right in the center of the city. There ist practically no other position which is more down town than that. The hotel has been refurbished in 1995/96 and has not really had any additional refurbishments since then, except for the hotelbar. The rooms are still okay, but you can feel, that a renovation will be needed... More

Stayed for one night in July and the hotel was great. The staff was friendly and helpful. Got a second room for my parents who were traveling with us and they loved it. Would stay there again in a second. Walking distance to fantastic parts of Zurich.

A great little hotel in a quite part of Zurich near my client's offices. I had a 'Relax' room. They offer basic (for one person), a 'comfort' room with no desk or table, a 'relax' room with desk and couch and a few more expensive room types. I would have to say it was the most peaceful and quite room... More

My girlfriend and I had a great 2 night stay in Zurich. It was our first time in Zurich and we loved it. Zurich is an expensive place and I thought we found value in this hotel. It's in a great location, but Zurich is small and everything is pretty walkable. It is also close to train station. Zurich is... More

Rooms in a decent Zurich hotel at under SF400 are usually ultra-tiny. We chose a "relax" room at Glaernischhof, at SF325 and it was spacious, quiet and well equipped. The hotel is set in a quiet street, within 5 minutes walk of most places you would want to visit. Trams 6,7,11 and 13 take you from the main station to... More
