I stay in the Opera because of all the Zurich hotels on my company policy list it is the best situated. Stadelhofen station is a 5 minute walk away , from whence all of Zurich is an easy traffic-avoiding commute away, as is the airport. Also eateries and stores abound, of all varieties. The lake is across the street and... more

My 20-something daughter and I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights. The room faced the street, and we were wondering about the noise that was a problem for other reviewers, however, the street repairs must have been completed and the partyers moved on by the time we arrived, because we were able to have the large double French-door type... more

The hotel is very nice with modern, clean, well appointed but small rooms. We requested a room with a balcony and partial lake view and were very happy to get that. The front desk staff were friendly and very helpful. Proximity to the lake and restaurants and the city is also very good. The only negative is the club across... more

This was our second stay at this hotel. My husband came on both occasions for business and my baby daughter and I for sightseeing. We ended up with the same room on the first floor. Half the neighbour was busy getting ripped up and repaved. It made for a very noisy room. The place is in dire need of better... more

My room (street side) was terribly noisy. A room change was not offered, even if the hotel was not fully booked (you could tell from the few guests at breakfast). Staff did not really care about my requirements and my comfort. more

My best friend and I recently made our first foray into Switzerland while on our annual German tour. Lucerne was the lure and Zurich was added simply because there was a good opera playing there during that time. We always like to visit new opera houses while in Europe to pass an evening in the otherworldly place a good opera... more

The Opera Hotel, with "Ambassador Hotel" across the street, belong to the same group and both buildings are with history. It is just behind the Opera House and just 2 minutes walk away the metro station. It is also just 12 minutes walk to the major shopping street. Room is not spacious but enough space with all the function s(the... more

We were staying in Zurich just for one evening since we were traveling to Davos the next Day. We left our luggage in the airport and took the train from the airport to Zurich. The trip took us 16 min and the station was 5min walk from the hotel. The hotel is situated in a very posh and nice area... more

This is probably one of the very best deals in Zurich. As Swiss citizen living abroad for the past 20+ years, I go back to Zurich regularly but have not yet found the right place to hang my hat for visits....until now that is. The hotel staff is very professional and friendly. The lobby, restaurant, and the rooms have an... more

Thanks again to my fellow TripAdvisor reviewers! I chose the Opera after reading previous reviews and was very happy with my stay. The hotel was across the lake from my company HQ and was also an excellent base for a run around the lake every morning. There were some complaints in previous reviews about tiny rooms; when I checked in... more
