Boutique-Hotel Herzkammer

Everything favors this hotel. Centrally located, walking distance from the station, close to Zurich's old town and shops. The rooms were perfect for a traveler, with al your needs catered for to the finest detail. Cleanliness and comfort being the key word here. An excellent Swiss breakfast with the best coffee in town. The hosts, Petra and Rudolf deserves special mention, their friendliness and eagerness to please is refreshing.

We just finished our one night stay in Zurich at Herzkammer and it was great! Petra greeted us at the arranged time and was very friendly when showing us our "red room". Everything was clean and recently renovated with tile shower, hardwood floors and big bright windows along a fairly quiet city street. This is a little gem in the heart of a bustling neighborhood: 7 min walk to/ from the train station, 5 min across the river to the old town, 10 min to the lake and only steps from the main shopping. Petra was a great host and served an amazing Swiss breakfast prepared with meats and cheeses, hard boiled egg, coffee, muesli and fresh juice. She also arranged for an extra late checkout with us. Thanks Herzkammer and thanks Petra for making our short stay wonderful!!

What a wonderful stay we had at the Herzkammer in Zürich, a small hotel of just three rooms, but with a big heart, that offers VIP treatment, thanks to the two charming owners Petra and Rudolf, who will do anything they can to make your visit to Zürich a real success. The Herzkammer hotel has a lot going for it: great location, right in the heart of Zürich, on a quiet street, less than ten minutes’ walk from the main train station and near the Bahnhofstrasse and all the shops, restaurants, etc., everything is impeccably clean, well equipped, with good Wi-Fi connection, beautiful paintings on the walls, plus you get a delicious and very generous breakfast each morning, served in a warm and cozy breakfast room. ||||But the hosts themselves are really what makes this establishment such a good choice for your next (or first) visit to Zürich... they are extremely friendly and attentive, we loved our chats about art, culture, language and other topics with them over breakfast in the morning, and you can certainly count on them for tips that will make your stay all the more perfect. We were in Switzerland to celebrate our twenty-fifth wedding anniversary, with Zürich being the last destination of our trip, and Petra and Rudolf marked the occasion with nice little treats that we truly appreciated… straight to the heart. (You may have noticed that I use the word heart quite a lot in this review. Well it’s simply because I think it is so appropriate to describe the Herzkammer and its hosts. And, by the way, you may or may not know this, but the «Herz» in «Herzkammer» means heart in German! I rest my case!)||||So, if you are looking for a quiet home away from home in Zürich, in a great location and offering top quality and personal service, rather than the anonymous heartless big hotel chains, the Herzkammer is the place of choice.||||Thank you so much to Petra and Rudolf for making our five-night stay in Zürich such a pleasant and memorable one. We will remember Zürich for the beauty of the city, of course, but also and perhaps even more for the warm and friendly welcome of our hosts at the Herzkammer. Vielen Dank, Frau Petra! Merci beaucoup, Monsieur Rudolf!

I stayed here recently with family. Petra and Rudolf are the perfect hosts - very friendly, wonderful attention to detail, very willing to answer questions and provide information. The location is excellent - very close the the Bahnhofstrasse in a charming historic area with lovely shops, museums, churches and a short walk to the train station. Our room was large and very clean. The breakfasts were amazing - wonderful breads from a nearby bakery, fruit, butter, jam, Swiss meats, eggs, juice and coffee. I would love to stay here again.

Small boutique hotel in a very good quiet location. We wheeled our luggage from Zurich train station on arrival and departure. There is no lift but help is available with the luggage. All the main city attractions are within a fairly easy walking distance.|Nice breakfast. Comfortable, clean room.

I recently stayed two nights at Herzkammer. It was highly recommended to me by my sister-in-law who stayed there previously. Having stayed there, I couldn't agree more. The location is great. It is walking distance to the main Zurich train station and the sights as well as shopping belt. The room is bright, spacious and clean, and the owners are most hospitable, cheerful and helpful.

The hotel is centrally located within easy walking distance of the central train station. While it was a record-setting heat wave while we were there, Petra and Rudolf did their best to make our stay comfortable. Travel recommendations were spot on. Whatever we asked for, it was done. Breakfast was excellent, rooms spotless. Restaurants, shopping, and site-seeing are all within walking distance. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Spent five nights to experience Christmas in Switzerland. The owners were not only great hosts but excellent tour guides as well. New rooms, impeccably clean and great breakfast. Highly recommend if you are looking for a small intimate lodging that is well located for accessing this beautiful city.||
