Good things about Hotel California: (1) the location; (2) the breakfasts. Everything else was problematic. The main issue was noise. Those of us overlooking the main street had to deal with happy eaters at the restaurant below. This wasn't unexpected, but because the A/C didn't work (we were a party of six, and the a/c didn't work in ANY of... More

The hotel is just a short walk from Stadelhofen train station and even shorter walk from the lake. The rooms are colourful and have what you need. However, when I was there, the air-con didn't work and it felt hot at night even though it was only May. The breakfast was good and they also offer hot dishes to choose... More

My husband and I stayed here for one night. The staff was friendly and both the check-in and check-out were easy. I loved the theme of the hotel... very cute. The rooms were very spacious and clean and the breakfast in the morning was very good. The location was great, I just wish parking was a bit easier. I would... More

We were only in Zurich for 2 days so we picked the Hotel California for location and then the price. We were quite shocked at the prices of hotels in Zurich, so this hotel could be considered 'budget' compared to others, though still not a cheap hotel! The hotel is in a great location in the old town, close to... More

Different type of place... staff available and helpful! Excellent location except the bar downstairs when they continue to live it up and we had a room above the bar one night. Ear plugs took care of that nicely. Otherwise their room Euro sized smalling area was fine and we enjoyed Zurich and the surroundings. Plenty of restos and cafes around,... More

This hotel is excellent. The location is great, close to all of the tourist attraction, less than 5 minutes walk from the Bellevue tram stations, basically one block away from the riverside. The hotel is owned by the famous Papa Joe's restaurant, so you can have direct access from your room's floor to the restaurant. Staffs are friendly and fun,... More

Hotel is located above PapaJoe’s restaurant. The staff at the reception was friendly and spoke English. The hotel has a modern lift, accessed through the restaurant. It is not run down. Our 2-bed room was medium sized and clean. It was not noisy even though we were above the restaurant. It was equipped with mini-bar, safe and TV with CNN.... More

We were really pleased with the Hotel California Zurich. Check in was a breeze with the lovely, friendly Michele at the desk who very kindly explained everything we needed to know about the hotel. The room seemed newly renovated with a great comfortable bed and nice big bath to soak in. The room was very clean and peaceful overnight (we... More

It's slightly tacky, with Eagles lyrics printed everywhere, but has character and certainly can't be accused of being bland. There is an American restaurant on the ground floor which is run by the same people as the hotel, so if you go in after about 3pm chances are noone will be at reception. You have to dial through on the... More
