Hotel Preferred di Zurich

Stayed for 2D1N. Comfortable and spacious room. One tram down to the hb station. There are a lot of restaurants downstairs so no worries if you wanna settle on your meals nearby. They gave us cute Lindt lady bugs chocolates for our honeymoon trip , really appreciate their gestures! Breakfast was really simple tho. Other than that everything’s fine for this hotel👍🏻

The location is easily accessible by walk or 1 station tram. The room is well-decorated. You can walk to main station or along the canal for relaxing or finding something to eat.

The hotel is a little away from the center (15~20 min by tram), plus 4min walk to the station. The check-in was quick, although in proper Swiss fashion the check-in time is only at 3pm. Fortunately, we were allowed to move in earlier. The room is big enough, but if you have big suitcases it'll be a bit tight. The staff is courteous and helpful, and try to accommodate if they can. The breakfast selection isn't too wide, but it's well arranged and has most of what you'd expect. There's a proper gym (exceedingly rare) with enough equipment to satisfy all but the pros. However, it does get a bit busy at times. They also have a decent swimming pool. There's a workstation with a printer next to the reception that guests can use for free - perfect if you need to print out tickets. They were happy to hold our baggage after we moved out until our flight in the evening - much appreciated. We paid about 125CHF a night for a standard room for two including breakfast, which is a good deal in Zurich. All things considered, there's very little to complain about. We had an excellent stay, and would love to stay there again.

The location is good, its very near the train station. Once exit from the hotel and we at right at the main street. It happened to ve where the christmas market begins. All the popular chocolatier are just around the corners for souvenirs from Switzerland. Room was decent, but the only and major downside, there's too many stairs. It'll be good to include a narrow ramp next to the stairs to allow us to drag our extremely heavy luggage. I think its because we checked in at night, there's not enough staff to assist us. Even on the way to our room, we had a small steps to overcome. 🤦‍♀️ I mean eventually its still manageable but it'll be a great help with the narrow ramp. *Attached a photo extracted online of the entrance to show the Entrance stairs for reference* As we are exhausted from our travel we didnt remember to take any photos of the hotel. We were stunt by the no. of steps at the entrance for a few moments, literally. 😅

Had a fantastic, albeit brief stay at the end of June 2023. Adler is centrally located in the historic heart of the city, but the double glazed windows block out any outside noise. I’m a super light sleeper, and we stayed on a Friday night, but didn’t hear a peep. That said: The room itself was tiny, but the view overlooking the square was charming. Very much a “what more do you need?” kind of vibe. The bed was very firm, and the pillows were very soft. For me, this is the opposite of my preference, but that’s personal, and I won’t fault the hotel. Elevator went out of order the morning of our departure, but they offered to carry our luggage down the stairs. This was definitely appreciated, as we were on the fourth floor. Also, I left my wedding ring on the nightstand, and upon realizing this, I called them: They offered to check, and called me back promptly to let me know they found it. No need to follow up, chase them down, bug them, etc. This was a great way to close the out transaction, and it left a very positive impression. I’d definitely stay again, thanks to the attitude of the staff.

The hotel is RIGHT IN FRONT of the main Central Train station. Behind the hotel is the shopping belt and the old town where you can walk to see the various architectural buildings. The staff there were helpful especially in the early morning getting me a taxi to the airport. Cleaning staff replenishes the toiletries daily without fail. Is a great hotel location and place to stay in Zurich.

I travelled with my wife and daughter (9), we had a fabulous time from the moment we arrived, the staff were attentive and advised us on what to do in and around Zurich. The room we had was a larger one, it had everything we needed - we loved the attention they pay to sustainability and no wastage - very smart and exactly what all other hotels should aspire to. They nailed the breakfasts - best ever! The bar is super cool and lots of outdoor space for the warmer months - it was so hot when we were there. If you like ice cream, pop around the corner - the staff will point it out to you - you will find the best Swiss ice cream right there. The location is really cool - we walked to the old town - 10 mins away, so got all our steps in AND we got up early each morning and jogged to the Zurich lake, had a swim and made our way back for that beaut breakfast. Great memories and HIGHLY recommended. We will return.

Room was a little small for 4 adults. But, the bed in the bedroom and the sofa bed in the living room were very comfortable. The airconditioner wasn't working/temperature was fixed too high for our liking. We love the breakfast spread. The Asian-looking receptionist was super helpful. Overall, a good and memorable stay.

The Sorell Zurichberg is a quiet hotel that appears to cater mainly to business meetings. For that reason it is surprising that it's internet is sketchy and even Swisscom connections sometimes fail, apparently because it's situated halfway up Zurïchberg. The rooms are well appointed and I had one of the largest rooms with a view of the Swiss Alps and Lake Zurich. The view of the Swiss Alps is one of the most beautiful, but because of the small windows (see one of the pictures attached) most rooms don't have this view in its full glory. The area around the hotel is beautiful for walking. There's a woods nearby but even walking along the streets, wish I generally well lit, is relaxing. There's a sports center nearby with tennis and other activities. The zoo is a 5-minute walk away as is the cemetery where the Irish author James Joyce is buried along with some other celebrities. Bathroom is a good size with a bathtub and a rainfall shower or spray. There was a Nespresso coffee machine in the room and a fridge with a basic selection of for-pay snacks. The bed is comfortable and you have a selection of pillows, which you can ask for from reception. There's ample closet space with a small safe for valuables. I was also a shoehorn and the bag for laundry, which as is the case in many hotels is very expensive if you have them do it for you. A restaurant is a bit disappointing. The breakfast is good and varied, but other meals served in the restaurant are just above a fast food level. The vegetable couscous served in the bar was disappointing. This hotel is a quiet respite from the noise and business of downtown Zurich, but it has some kinks that need to be worked for it to live up to its four-star rating. Guests should be aware that they are very much outside the center of Zurich, about a half hour by tram. The number 6 tram however runs quite frequently.
