Storchen Zurich, Zurich

For the last twenty years, whenever I was in Zürich, I've stayed at the 'Storchen'. The service is excellent and the rooms, although quite small, are comfortable and as clean as anyone could want. There is always a fresh rose in the tiny bathrooom and the quests are invariably received with a fruitbasket en some Swiss chocolates. The breakfast, included in the room price, is excellent with several kinds of bread and fresh rolls, meats, smoked salmon, jams and egges prepared anyway you like them. I especially enjoy the location on the river Limmat and being close close to all the wonderful shops on and near the Bahnhofsrasse. One sunny days one can walk to the lake and watch the boats and the waterbirds. It is also possible to take a one hour boattrip from the hotel to the lake and back. The restaurant at the 'Stprchen' is quite good (but rather expensive) and there are plenty of other dining possibilities nearby. I can't think of another hotel (and I have given them all a good lookover during my staus) in Zürich where I would spend my time...

too expensive. Great dining with views of the river and downtown Zurich. Internet services.The bedrooms are confortable and I especially like the views.Walking distance from the Banhoffstrasse.
