Rooms are modern, comfortable and generally quiet; several are spacious, with good showers and practical touches like in-room tablets. Recurring downsides include no fixed air conditioning (portable units or warm rooms at times), some small showers or compact rooms, and hillside access with steps, though a ramp route helps with luggage. Expect a clean, straightforward stay in a central spot.

Hotel St. Josef is a really lovely oasis in the middle of Zurich. It is close to multiple forms of public transportation and to the train station (side note: do not take trains through Germany to get to Zurich...you will regret it!). The staff is friendly (although inconsistent in their English fluency, ranging from good to none). Once sleep time comes the rooms of wonderfully quiet (Zurich is a quiet city in general), and logically and ergonomically organized. Great shower (if a bit leaky to the floor due to a shower curtain arrangement) and the bed was very comfortable. I also liked that there was one hard and one squishy pillow. It is great to have a choice. Breakfast is good, although European (no omelette bar or waffle/pancake maker here), with the typically outstanding European bread options. Good vegetables, fruits, meats, cheeses, and yummy yogurt and, of course, excellent coffee and tea options. I also ate in the restaurant for dinner and it, too, was quite good. A lovely little jewel of a hotel that I found serendeipitously but will definitely stay at again if in Zurich.

Loved the hotel. Breakfast buffet was great and dinner food delicious. The staff were very helpful and always pleasant. The service was excellent. The only problem is that there are no drawers, no bureau in the room in which to put clothing and the number of hangers for two people are very limited. Having to live out of our suitcases was very inconvenient.

A wonderful boutique hotel close to the train station and old town Zurich. The staff was very friendly and the young woman who checked us in actually walked us over to our room that was in a building separated by a courtyard. Although we traveled by train, there was plenty of parking on the side street in front of the hotel. We enjoyed our stay very much and highly recommend this property to anyone who wants to experience the historic part of Zurich.

Great location and really clean. What stood out was the welcome by the lady at the counter. I feel bad for not remembering but she was simply amazing. We were there for one night as it was the last leg of our trip but she was amazing and walked us to our room. The floor in our room was very squeaky as I’m sure comes with historical buildings. The room was very clean. I’d stay again.

Had a great stay at this hotel. The staff were very warm and welcoming. They were friendly and extremely helpful. The rooms are very clean and well maintained, keeping the hygiene conditions as paramount importance. The room was also spacious. The breakfast buffet spread had a large variety to choose from. Being a vegetarian, I was not short of options. All in all a great stay. The location is also prime - being close to the main train station and in downtown. Will definitely be staying here again the next time I'm in Zurich. Thanks so much.

An affordable option in a good area. It's not the fanciest hotel but the room was nice and I felt that we got more than we paid for. Plus, they include a free breakfast that consisted of meats, cheeses, breads, cereal and boiled eggs. My only critique was the size of the shower, which was very small: less than 3 ft X 3 ft. Everything else was modernized, clean and efficient.

We were extremely happy with our stay. Check in was easy and everything was ready when we arrived. The room and bathroom were very roomy. Everything was very clean and fresh. Also, the shower was large and walk-in, which was a nice feature. Breakfast was very nice, too. It is within easy walking distance to the train station but follow the directions! The hotel is up a hill and you need to get up a ramp, otherwise there are steep stairs! The front desk staff was extremely nice and helpful! Thanks!

Lovely hotel and wonderful friendly staff. Easy walk to the old town on both sides of the river, and only 5-10 minutes' walk to Bahnhofstrasse, with many shopping options. Room was large, with comfortable bed and sofa, good WiFi, good TV, fridge and tea/coffee making facilities. Far enough away from the bars and noise, but easy to walk everywhere.

My wife and I spent a lovely 3 days at the Hotel St. Josef in the wonderful city of Zurich. The hotel is near the old town area of the city and within a few blocks of restaurants, bars and the river. The hotel was very clean and the staff were especially helpful. If I had any concerns it was that the beds (and I say beds because it is a practice in Europe to find that two single beds are pushed together to make a double) were in need of new mattresses. They were very close to the floor and I would not recommend for anyone with knee problems because it could be hard to get up in the morning. The other issue for us was that the shower was really small, even compared to most European showers. This hotel is probably best for young, fit people.

A wonderful boutique hotel close to the train station and old town Zurich. The staff was very friendly and the young woman who checked us in actually walked us over to our room that was in a building separated by a courtyard. Although we traveled by train, there was plenty of parking on the side street in front of the hotel. We enjoyed our stay very much and highly recommend this property to anyone who wants to experience the historic part of Zurich.

Great location and really clean. What stood out was the welcome by the lady at the counter. I feel bad for not remembering but she was simply amazing. We were there for one night as it was the last leg of our trip but she was amazing and walked us to our room. The floor in our room was very squeaky as I’m sure comes with historical buildings. The room was very clean. I’d stay again.

Great staff!!! All were so friendly, informative and helpful. They went above and beyond when one of our travel party left their passport in a room safe. They got the passport out of the safe and scanned/emailed a copy to us very quickly. Then held on to it until we could return. They also prepared to go breakfast bags for our group when we were checking out at 6:30am. Spacious rooms and breakfast was great with lots of variety. Love that the hotel is close to the train station and lots of shops and restaurants.

地理位置優越，距離車站只需要5－10分鐘步程，去主要博物館亦只需要步行10分鐘內即可到達。附近環境清靜但安全，步行5分鐘即可以到達超市和餐廳街，行多餐廳和喝咖啡的地方選擇。前台員工親切友善，早餐選擇亦很豐富，每日都有3－4款熱食，整體非常滿意。

친절한 직원의 웃음이, 그 따듯함이 13일간의 여행중 가장 편안하게 묵을 수 있는 곳으로 만들어줬네요. 모든 직원분들 항상 행복하게 지내시길 .... 위치는 중앙역에서 꼭 2정거정 트램을 타고 이동해서 언덕길로 가시길 바랍니다. 언덕쪽에 위치해 있어 짐이 있으면 그게 편하답니다. 주변 다운타운과 미술관 모두 걸어서 이동가능합니다.

We were extremely happy with our stay. Check in was easy and everything was ready when we arrived. The room and bathroom were very roomy. Everything was very clean and fresh. Also, the shower was large and walk-in, which was a nice feature. Breakfast was very nice, too. It is within easy walking distance to the train station but follow the directions! The hotel is up a hill and you need to get up a ramp, otherwise there are steep stairs! The front desk staff was extremely nice and helpful! Thanks!

Super friendly and helpful staff. Walkable to old town and restaurants. A tip: it is located on a small hillside requiring steps but if you walk down further to the traffic lights there is a ramp for your luggages.

This was a convenient location close to the train station, Old Town and other sightseeing areas. The staff were really friendly and helpful with showing us the areas we wanted to go to on the map in English. The breakfast was tasty and satisfying and included a variety of meats, cheeses, yogurts, granola, breads, jams. We would stay there again.

Excellent Stay! This is my second time staying at Hotel St Josef, and once again, I had a really great stay. The staff is Amazing, and Extremely helpful! The rooms are of course clean and well maintained. You can't beat the location - very close to the main train station. Easy access to central Zurich and around. Will be staying here again on my next visit again. Thank you.

Hotel St. Josef is a really lovely oasis in the middle of Zurich. It is close to multiple forms of public transportation and to the train station (side note: do not take trains through Germany to get to Zurich...you will regret it!). The staff is friendly (although inconsistent in their English fluency, ranging from good to none). Once sleep time comes the rooms of wonderfully quiet (Zurich is a quiet city in general), and logically and ergonomically organized. Great shower (if a bit leaky to the floor due to a shower curtain arrangement) and the bed was very comfortable. I also liked that there was one hard and one squishy pillow. It is great to have a choice. Breakfast is good, although European (no omelette bar or waffle/pancake maker here), with the typically outstanding European bread options. Good vegetables, fruits, meats, cheeses, and yummy yogurt and, of course, excellent coffee and tea options. I also ate in the restaurant for dinner and it, too, was quite good. A lovely little jewel of a hotel that I found serendeipitously but will definitely stay at again if in Zurich.

Loved the hotel. Breakfast buffet was great and dinner food delicious. The staff were very helpful and always pleasant. The service was excellent. The only problem is that there are no drawers, no bureau in the room in which to put clothing and the number of hangers for two people are very limited. Having to live out of our suitcases was very inconvenient.
