Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel St Gotthard is often praised for its excellent location right across from Zurich's Main Station (Zürich HB), making it ideal for accessing transportation and exploring the Bahnhofstrasse shopping district. Guests appreciate the clean, fairly spacious rooms with comfortable bedding, some of which now include refrigerators. The breakfast is considered convenient and features a tasty selection, including proper Swiss cheeses and breads, although a few guests have mentioned occasional issues with hot water on higher floors during peak times. It's a popular choice for those seeking a central base with easy access to the city's main attractions.

Mixed Experience Close to Station

central locationuncomfortable bedlacking information
The hotel enjoyed a very central location near the train station.
The check-in process lacked warmth, no information was given regarding hotel facilities or local attractions. My room appear old and not like the photos online, also I find that the beds are too firm, giving me an uncomfortable night sleep.
