The Storchen Zurich is a lovely hotel located on the Limmat river. Wonderful views, nice atmosphere and very centrally located. Included in the room rate is a great breakfast buffet a terrific way to start your day.. Would recommend it to anyone traveling to Zurich, Switzerland.

I spent only one night at the hotel but it is more than enough to leave a very positive impression. Excellent restaurant for dinner, huge breakfast, comfortable and quite room and bed, free wifi connection, very good service. I will be back again!

The Storchen Zurich is one of the finest and friendliest hotels we have ever experienced. Its location on the Limmat river afforded beautiful views and easy access to fine restaurants, to the Bahnhofstrasse for strolling and shopping, to the old city for small affordable restaurants and quaint shops, to trams etc. Above all else the service is excellent, from the...

The Storchen is ideally situated on the Limmat river right in the heart of the old part of Zurich. The rooms are spacious and the beds really comfortable, each bed being adjustable. It's well worth paying for the river view - absolutely beautiful. We didn't eat dinner there but the breakfast was excellent. A very pleasant breakfast room with plenty... More

My husband and I stayed here while visiting our daughter, who lives in Zurich. The Storchen's location, right on the Limmat River, in the middle of Zurich's old town and a block away from Bahnhofstrasse makes it ideally located for many activities. We enjoyed the sumptuous breakfasts, dinner with old friends in the hotel's beautiful restaurant with a crackling fireplace... More

In the heart of Zurich, this location ran us nearly $700 a night. Great location, room was fairly basic. Breakfast was super, probably the best in Zurich. Great location, a short walk to Bahnhofstrasse, where you can buy anything from a $5 t-shirt to a $500,000 watch.

It was my first time in Zurich but thanks to the really friendly hotel staff it felt like home. In this aspect I want to give a special thanks to mr.
