The room was nice. The bed comfortable
The floor was sticky, not properly cleaned. The chair in the room was worn out. The chief manager of the bar was very unfriendly to his staff. It was painful to see.

We loved it!
We loved staying at this beautiful townhouse hotel. Spacious very comfortable rooms and bed all very stylish and newly renovated. Beautiful modern bathroom just outside our room. We also loved the very popular cafe downstairs which is part of the hotel. We had delicious breakfast there every morning not included but reasonable prices. Beautiful Zurich architecture and good location in front of a park and excellent transport everywhere around the city with the excellent Zurich trams.

Everything good apart from no heating in our room. Very cold at night.

Fabulous
The room was spacious and well equipped. The bar/cafe downstairs had good vibes, good food and you couldn't hear it from the room. Near a tram stop that took us direct to the centre of town.
Very tight to park the car in the spaces round the back, but good that they were available by booking.

Family trip to Zurich
The beds where amazingly comfortable. Slept so good each night. Rooms cozy warm. Very spacious rooms.
The stairs up to the rooms can be a little tricky as they are a spiral staircase - it does have a lift though. 👍

Good deal and location for a night stay in Zurich
The room was spacious and comfy. The bathroom was clean and nice. Close to tram line so easy to move around. The communication from the property was good. The instruction was clear - we managed to get to our room by ourselves easily although it was dark (we arrived at 11pm). It was a good deal for us since we were just transiting for the night.
The area, especially the inner courtyard, was dark at night.

Clean. Close to the city center (few stations with bus).
WC for 4 rooms is a little problematic for long stays.

Convenient and cheap option for an overnight stay
The location is really convenient, not far from from the train station. Amazing and very helpful staff and great value for money
Sometimes you have to wait your turn for the bathroom, since there is only one for three rooms, but this is expected.

Great guesthouse with quirky decor and vintage furniture in all rooms
Very cozy and comfy guesthouse, felt immediately at home. Super friendly staff and a great cafe downstairs. Very good location
I would have liked a kettle or coffee machine in the room. Everything else was great

Great guesthouse, central location, stylish and cozy
The location of the guesthouse is very central, easy to reach and the room is spacious, nicely decorated and very cozy. The restaurant is also really stylish, trendy and cozy. The staff is very friendly and the entire place is very dog friendly.

Very good
The coffee shop below the guesthouse had great breakfast, and it was close to a bus stop. The room and bathroom were very clean and had everything we needed.
The coffee shop was very loud during certain times of the day. We walked from downtown area, but it was a long walk in the rain.

Would book again, lovely time.
Great location, lovely restaurant, comfy bed. Loved the postcards and the balcony on our roof. Enjoyed food downstairs for breakfast and dinner.
The shower drain was absolutely full of scum and had to be cleaned before we could properly shower.

Overall it was a comfortable stay
The size of the room was good; it was a corner room so this is great.
It could have been nice to add a water kettle in the room.
11 October 2024
Good value city stay, spacious with character
Room was a luxurious size. Large and with high a ceiling. Wooden floors with lots of subtle character. Bed large and confortable with high quality pillows.
It's an old building so it was quite noisy. You can hear people opening doors and walking around upstairs/out in the passage.
5 October 2024
I would book it again
The Staff were very friendly, check in and check was very smooth. The place was clean. The WiFi was fast.
The floor is old. So, every time I move, you can hear voices of the wooden floor.

The staff are the treasures of this hotel. Warm and friendly, and they’re pricing and treatment of the guests are fair.
The staff were very friendly and considerate. They allowed us to check in earlier which is really a huge plus for me. The room was spacious, bright and airy.
It’s an old building so the noise from the footsteps of other occupants may bother you if you are sensitive to noise.

Would recommend it .
Very relaxed place, close to a lovely park. Staff were very helpful. The room was clean and comfortable.
Shared bathroom , but was kept very clean. Didn't realize we could have had a meal in the bar until later on .

Nice and clean
The location is perfect, only a few minutes walk to the city center. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They provided free umbrellas which really saved us since it rained quite a lot. The view was really pretty.
The shared bathroom was a huge downside for us which we didn’t notice before renting the place. And the floor was REALLY squeaky which was annoying at night.
10 September 2024
The room was large and nice but a mirror needs to be placed near a plug in.
It was very nice to have such a large room, especially because we had 4 people. 2 large queen beds and a balcony and an area to sit and play cards. The host was very accommodating and stored some bags for us and stayed open a bit later because the check in times were wrong on the booking.com app.
I didn’t realize when I booked it that it was a shared bathroom but since we were only here for 1 night, it wasn’t a big deal. The one thing that I really didn’t like was that there were no plugs near a mirror so as a women it’s makes using a blow dryer, straightener or curler a bit of a challenge. I had to drag the big desk across the room that had the mirror on it just to get it close to a plug in. Booking.com had the check in time until 9pm but apparently check in on Sundays is only until 6pm so that needs to get changed.

Beautiful guesthouse! Wish we could have stayed longer!
We stayed at Guesthouse fürDich on our last night in Switzerland before flying out of Zurich early in the morning. I wish we would have stayed longer! It was such a beautiful and charming hotel! The shared bathrooms were not a problem - I didn't hear or see anyone else during our stay. We opted to get a hotel with a balcony which was the move. A thunderstorm rolled in and we sat outside and watched the lightning before the rain came down. The owner spoke English and check-in was super easy. He also helped recommend some places to go! Overall great stay and would highly recommend!
We loved our room so much at Guesthouse fürDich. The only thing that was bothersome was the creaky floors. They woke up my partner in the middle of the night when I tried to sneak to the bathroom. It wasn't a big deal, however.

Average. It was only for two nights. Good cafe but lack conditioning
Location was good. Restaurants near by. Proximity to downtown.
Room did not had air conditioning. Shared bathroom. Big room but lack of good fans and air conditioning
10 August 2024
Fabulous
Very spacious, everything clean, bathroom was clean, comfortable beds. Staff was very friendly and attentive.
The unit does not have AC which it's not really necessary because temperature is nice at night, but I do recommend maybe leave two fans since there are two beds. Other than that everything was perfect.

Great spacious clean room and bathroom
Not sure if sheets were replaced! Seemed reused and not changed from previous guest

Nice stay in Zürich
Loved the vibe in the cafe, good breakfast and the beds were comfy and family room on top floor was large and clean.
Beware the low beams on top floor, including in the loo - couple of serious head cracks, they need to be highlighted a different colour for safety. No air con... a good fan for one of the beds but not both.

Excellent, affordable place to stay.
Fabulous place to stay. Very easy to get to from the airport by public transport. Very friendly welcome. Family of four stayed in the room together with shared bathroom (shared with one other room but never encountered them).

You can‘t have a drink after 20 /21 hours because they close the cafe a bit early. No airconditioning in the rooms.

Great stay in Zürich
We were in a family suite on the second floor and it was gorgeous! Very clean and comfortable. The bathroom is also clean and well cared for. The location is about a 30 minute walk from the main sights but there are some cute areas to eat and drink right around the hotel. We stayed twice here and the second time we were on the first floor family suite and is not as nice as the second floor.
Of course it’s not convenient to have to share the bathroom, especially if you have a flight to catch and are waiting for someone to finish! But we accepted this as Zürich is so incredibly expensive and this was more affordable. Also, there’s some sketchy people that hang out in the park across the street and play loud techno music into the night. We stayed twice at this hotel and both times this was going on.

Quirky, value property in Zurich
This place is quirky. It’s above a corner cafe. The cafe has a nice atmosphere and the food was good. The beds were comfy and the room was nice and spacious for our family of four.
The shared bathroom situation was a little weird. The bathroom was clean but it was just strange having to share with hallway neighbors. We felt like we had to rush through our bathroom routines! We had a room that opened right onto the street. It was warm, so we had to have the windows and balcony doors open. The street noise was so loud. The Euros were happening during our stay and some fans decided to drive around and honk their horns all hours of the night making it difficult to sleep. It’s a very minimalist property, so it was fine for one night. The woman that checked us in was not very friendly. Being new to the country after a long day’s travel, I wish we had been greeted by a more friendly face. The woman working the cafe the next morning was much friendlier.

Charming rooms and cafe.

Squeaky floor, noise from outside (not hotels fault there was a concert).
