    Nothing to complain about.

    A small and homely boutique hotel is a dream home for those who cherish silence, private service, friendly attitude and a feeling of being welcome. Cannot add enough appreciating words. This was a top experience!

    The staff were all very helpful and friendly. Our room was spot on - clean, spacious and perfect for what we needed. We loved the location - close to the lake, the centre, the tramline, and with a couple of supermarkets close by. The roof terrace was a great bonus. Breakfasts were delicious and, particulary for the 2 of us who are vegan, offered plenty of choice. We also made use of the self catering facilities, which were great. We loved the extra touches too - free water and apples, welcome icecreams, and free coffee throughout the day. If we do come back to Zurich, without a doubt we will stay at Alma.

    Only nitpicking... But the price although competitive was expensive but hey... That's Zurich and Switzerland!

    Everything was really good. The staff were lovely and the rooms were excellent. Breakfast was fantastic and the garden offered a space to chill in the shade and the rooftop to relax in the sun. Not much more you could ask for.

    The location is amazing, a minute away from the lake and in the quiet part of the city center. The lady on the front desk was super friendly. We were there in the middle of the summer heatwave and we were offered refreshments, ice cream, she was even ready to try to find us some swimsuits so we can go swiming in the lake!

    A gem of a hotel in Zurich.

    Alma Hotel was a fabulous hotel with lovely old rooms with ,modern twist only 15 mins walk from old town. A perfect hotel near the lake with a ladies only wellness and yoga area. They even had a guest kitchen where you could store food in the fridge and prepare meals or snacks. Quite eco friendly with an honesty bar for drinks in reception and 24hr coffee machine in the restaurant. The only downside is that after my massage there isn’t a changing room or shower to use so when on the day of check out to get a massage it’s awkward. Apart from that tiny issue I would highly recommend this hotel in Zurich. Also a roof top terrace that would be fabulous in good weather!

    There was no conditioner in the room, and our room stank of paint, so much so it gave me a headache.

    Beautiful location, loved the terrace, perfect place to have a coffee or a drink. The room was spacious and had a little balcony that looked down the road towards the lake. Close to the tram stops and a 30 minute walk into down along the lake. Very convenient.

    Only wished for better pillows, we had 2 pillows and both were quite flat and not great support for the neck

    Very welcoming and friendly staff, well thought out facilities, lovely breakfast. It was great that we’re able to send a package to the hotel before our arrival.

    The hotel needs to improve from different angles: - reception 24h for the guest needs after 22pm - breakfast selection - only vegan/vegetarian option, it’s better to have also just for request the meat or others selection. If necessary have only vegan/vegetarian selection to give the guest more option like fruit salad, cakes, savory cakes, pancakes & muffin. - the floor makes creak noises on the 4th floor. - we can’t manage the temperature in our room.

    The location of the hotel is central and is right in the heart of the city, you can find shops, supermarkets and pharmacies, and the attractions are within walking distance both on foot and by public transport. the rooms are equipped with everything you need, you also have access to a kitchen without a stove which is not essential for your stay as you have a fully equipped kitchen on the ground floor where you can cook. You also have a bar with which you can prepare coffee, cappuccino and hot tea during your stay. There is no minibar but it is not that important as the hotel has a bar area where you have everything you need from snacks to drinks. clean and welcoming hotel, modern and comfortable details. excellent staff ready to help you with a smile, especially the girl who welcomed us in the afternoon during our arrival, who provided us with all the information we needed. Excellent breakfast with quality products, perhaps little choice. maybe I would give the opportunity to eat meat too. Or I would increase the products with other vegan or vegetarian choices. We loved the green, ecological choice and above all the innovation of the hotel, modern, comfortable and functional. during your stay you can ask for a massage, although it seems to me that it was only for women. There is also a terrace on the top floor

    The hotel is situated in a beautiful building and it is very nicely decorated, comfortable and clean. All products used are of extremely high quality (soap, food). There is a spa in the hotel which one can book. The location is fabulous - just 1 minute walk from the lake and a short tram ride from the center. But the best is the super friendly staff :)!

    We could not stay to enjoy breakfast.

    Location: only a block from the lake, and a short walk to the historic district on the river. Less 15-min walk to the Metro. Uber finds it easily. Appearance: beautiful building. Tastefull interior decor. Breakfast: we had to leave before breakfast started, but boy did it smell delicious. Room: It has been our experience whenever we book a room for four, there are only two sets of towels. Here there were accommodations for four; towels, drinking cups, and the beds were prepped. The room was larger than expected. There did not appear to be any temperature controlls in the room, but we were able to open what appeared to be newer windows to cool the room down for the evening. The roof top garden was very nice to relax. Probably, one of the best stays we have had, too bad it was only short lived because we were only there because of a missed connecting flight.
