Chose this place as the Adler was full, and the Park Hyatt and Widder were charging silly prices. Stayed for 2 nights on a weekend break with the Mrs. Location and exterior are perfect, old fashioned Zurich house right in the old town centre - just arond the corner from Widder and Lindenhof. Can be noisy outside due to tour groups etc, but nothing too bad, it is quiet at night. Lobby and public areas are a bit small, there is no bar, but there is a restaurant joined on to the hotel which serves nice buffet breakfast (included in the room rate). Computer/internet usage is free, and there are free snacks and drinks in the lobby. Staff were very nice throughout our stay, and although we did not ask for anything in particular, we could see that they went out of their way to help other guests that did. The reason I am not giving five stars is due to the room. I was quite surprised at the fairly poor standard of the decorations, and the bathroom was pretty tatty for this sort of money. I understand the attraction of traditional decor, but I do not expect cracked tiles and sink, fake wood lino on the floor, a shower that was very ineffective, and a carpet that looked straight out of a 1980's Travelodge. Gripes over - the room itself was plenty big enough, with great views, and everything was clean. Bed was very comfy too. Just think a revamp would be in order, then it would justify the 440CHF per night price. I would probably try somewhere else next time I visit Zurich (perhaps the Seefeld ?), but our stay here was pleasant enough.

Mixed bag this one- Pro's - great location - in the posh bit of the old town in old cobbled street near stunning little square and all the nicest shops. Breakfast in the hotel restaurant was delicious and very lovely setting in an old panelled room. Also bed was very comfy. Cons -we had two rooms for our family of four and both rooms were quite shabby. Lots of mixed patterns of old fashioned chinz - pink bathroom suite and green carpet. I had a peek at some other rooms and some were a bit nicer - tho' still in need of a refurb. Ours didn't look at all like the pictures on the website - much less stylish. Also rooms were small and no sitting area anywhere in the hotel or bar area - (hotel restaurant was closed when we were there),so if you want ot relax outside of your small room you need to go to a bar/ cafe down the street. The rooms were very expensive - about ?180 per room - and therefore felt overpriced for the quality of the room and lack of facilities.

Frankly, if I'd have checked trip advisor before we booked the Kindli we might not have (it's kind of low down in the ratings) but we turned out to love it! Admittedly, the room was a bit small (though the television happily allowed access to the U.S. Open tennis tournament coverage via the EuroSport channel) and a bit claustrophobic (high window, noisy cobbled street outside). Bathroom was lovely, with a nice deep tub and window. I will say it was a small room.... What made the stay was two things: the staff was just great, just great. Couldn't have been more welcoming to this Finnish and American couple. Second? The location is divine. Love the old town, it's close to everything (we just walked and walked and walked) and we found a lovely French bistro restaurant around the corner for dinner that was a prize (can't remember the name but the hotel recommended it). One really nice touch was breakfast. It was a substantial European spread. I'm not a big coffee drinker and so I asked for diet Coke, fully expecting to be presented with a bill. In fact I asked for two. And there was no bill. That was nice.... We'd go back in a heartbeat but I would book a better room (and would pay accordingly with no problem). It must be stated that we arranged our trip to Zurich at the last minute so weren't exactly in the catbird's seat in terms of choosing rooms! We read about this small hotel on Karen Brown (she writes travel guides in the U.S. that cover Europe and America) website (it led us as well to a fabulous place in Lucerne, which was our home for the following two nights on our summer mini-break; that review is already posted). Great. We're planning a return trip next summer (though if airfares are reasonable may try Geneva this time around). Just because!

A very nice 3 to 4 star hotel one block off the Bahnhofstrasse and near restaurants, churches and Lindenhof park. The room was very nice although a little small. The front desk staff was very pleasant and helpful. Internet available as well as coffee drinks all day. One of the features was the wonderful Hastens adjustable bed which is probably a $10K bed or more. One great sleep. We stayed at both the Kindli and the Romantik Florhof (which is doing major construction) both of which are in the Karen Brown book. They are the same price but we preferred this hotel as a better room, more convenient and there are restaurants nearby in addition to the hotel restaurant.

Un bonito hotel tres a cuatro estrellas, a una cuadra del Bahnhofstrasse y cerca de los restaurantes, iglesias y el parque Lindenhof. La habitación era muy agradable, aunque un poco chica. El personal de la recepción fue muy agradable y dispuesto a ayudar. Había conexión al Internet disponible así como bebidas de café el día entero. Uno de los destaques fue la formidable cama ajustable Hastens, que probablemente cuesta U$S 10,000 o más. Qué bien dorminos. Nos alojamos en el Kindli y el Romantik Florhof (que esta pasando una fase de construcción muy grande), ambos citados en el libro de Karen Brown. Son de precios iguales pero preferimos este hotel por tener una habitación mejor, estar mejor ubicado y cercano a otros restaurantes, además del restaurante del hotel.
