This hotel was really well located, only a short stroll from Zurich main train station and then close to the shopping and restaurants. The staff were lovely, and spoke English well. The rooms are cosy, but for a solo traveller it was great and well maintained. The shower had good pressure and hot water came relatively quickly unlike some other European hotels I've stayed in previously. The rooms had a very modern/scandy/mountain luxury feel. The restaurant that offered breakfast in the morning was fabulous! The most exotic fruit offering at a buffet breakfast I think I've ever had! They had figs, kiwi fruit, plums, watermelon, oranges and honeydew melon plus other fruit offerings. They also had quite an array of usual foods such as eggs, Bacon, sausages, Mushrooms, smoked salmon, pancakes, lots of bread options with spreads, raw vegetables such as cucumber and carrots etc plus more!! They even had prosecco, but it was a little too early for me!! Their hot chocolate was definitely a must try though!! I loved this hotel and would stay in again.

Great 4 stars in Downtown Zürich

This is a true four-star hotel: it was recently renovated so you can see that everything (decor, common areas, etc.) is new. The hotel is in the hearth of Zurich (I know the city well and can assure you that it is 100% Downtwon). In case you arrive by train you can walk to the hotel from Zurich Main Station, in our case we arrived by car and the hotel offers an agreement with the Urania parking (4-5 minutes walk) for only CHF 30 per day. I can assure you that for being Switzerland this is a very competitive price. We had booked two single rooms, exactly as described on their website. The rooms, as expected, were not very large but the bed was very comfortable and there were all the amenities one might expect from a 4-star hotel (including fruit and free coffee and water). Very nice bathroom with a very comfortable walk in shower. Sleep quality very good: I did not hear any noise. Breakfast was very varied with quality products also from the Zurich region. Very friendly staff. Definitely recommended.

Stayed here on corporate account and was pleasantly surprised. In spite of earlier reviews, I found the Seidenhof to be a delight. Friendly staff, electronically controlled aircon, Japanese style toilets (a rare luxury outside of Japan), and more than enough power points and USB ports at the desk and by the bed. Wifi is fast, there is a cosy bar/lounge area to use before check-in / after check-out, and there is a wide choice of pillows. With an Aldi supermarket next door and Jelmoli department store opposite, you couldn't ask for somewhere more close to everything that you need.

No aircon, only super noisy air blowers

The airblowers are *very* noisy. You need earplugs the whole time when in the room. Rooms are small. Breakfast and location are the redeeming features. If you want a good night's sleep (and who doesn't), stay elsewhere.

A completely fatal flaw

This is a hard review to write. 2 nights here. The hotel itself is fine. Tastefully refurbished, with a dose of quirkiness. We had two linked rooms, with a small sitting room and balcony (with a total non-view). Check in was polite and efficient. Breakfast was excellent, with high quality buffet and eggs cooked to order in front of you. Kept running out of fruit juice, however. Replenishment could be better. We were in the mid European heatwave, reaching 37C in the afternoons. When we first entered the rooms, the "aircon" was on at full and incredibly noisy blast, yet the rooms felt very warm. I assumed they've just turned it on prior to our arrival. After a very hot evening out, I was relishing a cool bedroom to sleep in (having left the "aircon" on whilst out). Arriving back, I was dismayed to find my room was 28C. I went down to reception, but the night staff were completely uninterested and unsympathetic. He said "we don't have air conditioning, we have air movement". I said it was utterly useless, and he said that the Swiss government had banned air conditioning. There was nothing he could do. I returned to my room and sweated the night away with no sleep whatsoever. I felt truly terrible in the morning. The morning staff were far more understanding and offered to put fans in the room, which did help but only slightly. This place is not remotely cheap (even for Zurich, where everything is at least 50% more than you would pay anywhere else), and especially the rooms we had. Tripadvisor shows aircon as an amenity for the hotel, and for this price I would simply take it for granted. To say aircon is "banned" is patent rubbish, as we went into dozens of shops, bars, restaurants that were crisply cool. I checked the hotel's main competitors and all have full aircon. I did some research, and it seems the government are indeed making it difficult to put aircon into new builds and refurbs. Seidenhof needs to get lobbying, as these weather events are going to become much more frequent and nobody is going to pay its prices to stay in a hotel with no aircon. This ruined our stay in Zurich. If the Swiss government are serious about the environment, they should tax out of existence the nose-to-tail supercars that clutter Zurich's roads instead of targeting the one thing that makes living with climate change tolerable. Whilst they're at it, they should also ban plastic drinking straws (as in the UK), which do such terrible damage to marine wildlife.
