I have stayed at Lady's First on two occasions. This is a boutique hotel with very nice rooms and friendly service. Excellent value for money and a small spa to add on to this. I also like the fact that it is located in a quiet residential area. More

Lady's First Design Hotel Mainaustrasse 24, Zurich 8008, Switzerland I wonder where this hotel created its lady-like name from. I, being a guy, still was not put off by such a name. If you want to stay in a quieter part of Zurich, Lady's First Hotel would be a decent choice. It's expensive, and it will take you a good... More

I spent a night at the Lady's First over the weekend and for the money (I paid $223) the experience felt mediocre. Pros? I loved the neighborhood (the Italian restaurant across the street was expensive but lovely, the walk to the lake so easy, and getting around by tram pretty convenient). The front desk staff was pleasant but not terribly... More

for years we used to stay at rutli hotel in the old city, we decided to try lady's first which was much more expensive and in inferior location, we did not find it as adequate substitution to the rutli hotel. Charge of 20sf for the sauna was not indicated in the publication. More

I stayed at the Lady's First, while on business in Zurich, I found this hotel and staff a Great Discovery. the staff and service were excellent, friendly, and made you feel comfortable. By the way Men are welcomed. The hotel is an old building, so well constructed and therefore the rooms were very quiet and you heard no sounds from... More

Total neglect on the part of management. They have heard complaints for years about the squeeky floors - old wooden boards - no padding, no rugs. It is really outreagous. We didn't even consider staying longer than one night. We heard every move of the person above us getting ready to go out and wearing high heel shoes. We couldn't... More

Lady's first is without doubt run to perfection. We arrived to the hotel at 8.30am after a 13 hour flight (with two young children)thinking we would be leaving our bags and trying to entertain them for hours. Instead we were greeted with news of our room being ready. BLISS! The room was fantastic, the breakfast was absolutely delightful and we... More

Located walking-distance to the older section of Zürich and also only two small streets to the lake and water-side promenade, this hotel is a great value. It is also walking distance to the opera house and shopping. The room is small-ish and clean with high ceilings and the decor a modern twist in an older building. The lobby has a... More

Nothing so special about it. We were forced to take a superior room because we wanted twin beds. There was nothing superior about it. Nothing design in it. And just a shower. Good experience but this hotel is overrated online. More

Love this hotel. I have to admit that the Ladies Only spa is my favorite part, however the room was spacious for a single, and the breakfast was varied and tasty. More
