Wonderful small boutique hotel close to center of activity. Great tram and train connections to other spots in Zurich and easy to/from airport and elsewhere in Switzerland. Terrific staff, helpful and available. Quiet and excellent restaurant.

I’ve stayed at several SLH properties, and this wasn’t as nice as I expected. The room was nice, they use Grown Alchemist products. The restaurant/bar was just ok (bartender was great). The area it’s located was fantastic, walking distance of 2m from the Christmas market.

This is a luxury boutique hotel that has all you could want in your time in Zurich for a reasonable price. Excellent dining, clean and comfortable rooms and bed, a wonderful shower with excellent soaps and shampoo, great service and concierge, in a gorgeous area of Zurich and within walking distance of everything. It is quiet as well. I was delighted with my stay at the Ambassador and will definitely return.

So happy with my stay at the Ambassador! Staff was so friendly and helpful, rooms were very clean and they even left a handwritten welcome note. Recently renovated and very modern. Toiletries were high end and they provided all extras you could think of. Rooftop had amazing views and located very close to the old town! Cannot recommend more.

This is a four star hotel—as expected. Clean, comfortable, nice rooms. We were upgraded to one of the largest rooms looking over the Zurich opera house and surrounding. I saw some rooms appeared much smaller. It is an historic building that has been nicely renovated as a hotel. We stayed five nights, in Zurich to visit friends. Location is perfect for central Zurich. Across from Opera house. Near central trolley plaza and trains. Restaurant is elegant and very expensive, but food is rather average. Four blocks away one finds cheap food stalls near the trolley. Staff of hotel were pleasant. We had few needs of them. Beds were on soft side. Room was very quiet despite looking out on the city. Just be aware Zurich is very expensive. You will figure that out quickly.

Excelente hotel com ótima localização, ao lado da Ópera e com estação de trem muito próxima. O hotel é charmoso, com poucos quartos e bom bar. O grande destaque é o quarto, muito bonito e confortável. Banheiro excelente também. Único ponto de melhoria é o ar condicionado, que poderia gelar mais o quarto.

this is the worst hotel we've been to in 20 years, whether 5 star (ritz, kempinski st moritz, etc) or 2 or 3 star in ten countries. it was an attic single room they called a double. 1.the twin bed was next to wall angled 45 degrees, bumped ones forehead badly if trying to go to bed from the left side where the night table and night reading light was. 2. the horrible revamp to make it look classy was a fake. 3.all lights were linked so reading in bed at night was only possible with night lamp and ALL other five lights blasting, including the ceiling light and 2 hall lights. horrible. their excuse was it was designed that way. 4.when finally 11 pm turning lights out, 2 sharp lights under each bed lit up if one moved, or if blankets touched the floor,...creating 2 metres of light and sharp shadows. phoned desk to be told to stuff pillows and towels to cover the floor lights due to bad design. 5.this isnt even one star! lots. of leather boxes to look "designed" one was 10 inches by 8 inches containing 2 cotton pads for face! totally phony superficial look. every time you turn right at the tiny window you hit your head due to the angled wall, due to stuffing 2 beds into a one bedroom space.and of course no closet space. 5. "free' fridge meant one 2 sfr pack of nuts and a quarter bottle proseco, not renewed nightly. outrageous greed.. 6.their other , ie hotel opera,across the street, fabulous in EVERY way, big windows, high ceilings, superb modest refurbishment.

A truly wonderful stay! We had an amazing experience at this beautiful hotel in Zurich. Everything was perfect – from the elegant atmosphere to the exceptional service. The staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and professional, making us feel truly welcome from the moment we arrived. One of the highlights of our stay was the lovely birthday gesture they made for my daughter – it was such a thoughtful and heartwarming surprise that made our trip even more special. Thank you for making our time in Zurich so memorable. We would love to come back again soon! Efsun

Apparently this hotel had just been renovated. It’s good in theory, however all their bathroom fixtures although aesthetically pleasing, are sharp & hazardous in the small bathrooms. Also the doors are glass and there’s no real privacy between the bed and bathroom areas. What I found so disturbing was that there was never anyone at the front Desk to help you. We tried calling for dinner recommendations from our room and no one ever picked up the phone. The staff member that checked us in, Carmen, made sure to let us know that our breakfast was definitely NOT included in our room rate. At checkout, she didn’t even ask us about our stay. If you are the face of a small luxury hotel, you should be able to greet guests with a smile. It was as though she was doing us a favor. Isabella was kind as was the housekeeping staff. As I stated, very nice boutique property, but will not be returning.
