Guesthouse fürDich, Zurich

Stauffacherstrasse 141, Aussersihl, 8004 Zürich, Switzerland. (show on map)

Guesthouse fürDich is a cozy, family-run place in Zurich’s vibrant Langstrasse quarter. Housed in a beautiful turn-of-the-century building, it offers a warm, informal alternative to the city’s larger hotels. The space is operated by two friends who have created a welcoming atmosphere where every guest feels like part of the family, regardless of where they come from.

The interior is a major highlight; rather than the cookie-cutter style found in many hotels, each room is individually decorated with a charming mix of antique furniture and modern design pieces. You’ll find bright rooms with authentic wooden floors, some featuring private balconies or loggias that overlook the quiet inner courtyard or the neighbouring park.

One of the best parts about staying here is the on-site café, *Kafi fürDich*, which serves as a popular neighbourhood hub for breakfast, lunch, or a relaxing coffee. It captures the essence of the local community, making it the perfect spot to start your day before heading out to explore.

The location is ideal for those who want to experience the real Zurich. You’re situated right next to the *Bäckeranlage*, a lovely urban park that is perfect for a quick escape from the city streets. While the guesthouse feels like a peaceful retreat, you are only a short tram ride away from the historic Old Town, the famous Bahnhofstrasse shopping mile, and the city’s iconic landmarks like the Grossmünster cathedral.

A short and sweet stay. Great staff and lovely rooms.

The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. The room was lovely and the attached restaurant was a good vibe. They also offer the option to rent parking.

The common areas were a bit rundown.

Probably the best place have stayed in for over a decade.

The rooms and the ground floor bar restaurant were excellent, chic, modern but with a touch of old. The Staff, a mix of Swizz, Italian and other nationalities were so warm, relaxed and helpful. We had great chats and coffees. Love this place

Nothing.

Great place, very affordable, we would stay here again

It was in a quiet part of the city with a three minute walk to the tram/bus station. It was clean, warm, and the staff were very welcoming. They even let us drop our bags off and check in early.

The apartments outside could see into the bathroom, the cover doesn’t cover the whole window.

Great location in Zurich, definitely recommend!

It is a great location for this guesthouse. The staff was very pleasant to deal with. Everything was clean. Definitely would recommend!

The bathroom is shared with other guests who are renting 2-3 other rooms on that floor. However, it was never an issue. Just a consideration for future visitors.

Fantastic find! And the restaurant attached is an awesome added bonus

The downstairs restaurant was fantastic, with the cute area for the kids to play even. The room was super clean, comfy bed and beautiful view from the window. The bathroom was recently renovated, so although it was shared it was really nice, and only shared with a total of 3 rooms. I was worried when we originally booked it would be like stalls, but it’s one really nice private bathroom a few feet from each room.

This isn’t anything against furdich, as I know it’s in a nice neighborhood that’s got great transportation option close, but we accidentally ended up in a really bad part of town about 6 blocks over. So more just something to be aware of and research before you pick a dinner spot.

A home away from home with all the homely comforts!

A home away from home! Spacious, thoughtfully designed bedroom & bathroom. Comfortable bed & arty decor. Friendly & helpful staff. Inviting & cosy atmosphere in the downstairs cafe with fresh, healthy & tasty food. Great coffee too! Close to a tramline & a short ride into central Zurich.

Nice apartment, right above a cafe

Spacious rooms, clean and comfortable. The bar/cafe downstairs was great as well - we could have drinks as a large group, and something to eat/drink in the morning. There were a few bars and restaurants close by, and we had some great fondue at one place near the apartment.

Only one shared bathroom between 4/5 rooms, so sometimes you had to wait, or try a different one upstairs or downstairs. Location is OK but be aware it's around 20 mins walk from the train station, and probably 30 mins to the old town (we used scooters, which was faster).

Good value, feeling at home

I liked the cafeteria and all staff at the reception were always welcoming, friendly and helpful. The room provided was large and comfortable more than expected.

The common bathroom has been misused by some other guests unfortunately. But the cleaning staff responded promptly. From the park opposite the hotel sometimes there were noisy people talking loudly. The room sockets do not have provisions for other plugs but swiss plugs, so good to know.

Excellent location, quiet, clean and comfortable.

It was located right next to both a tram and a bus stop with easy access to the historic landmarks. It was great having the café downstairs with excellent food. I would stay here again.

Very comfortable bed, spacious room, everything we needed was supplied.

I like the friendly vibe and location so close to the tram or bus line. It was really clean and everything we needed was provided. The restaurant was a bonus. They also let us check in a bit early. It is across from a lovely park which we also enjoyed.

A reasonably priced accommodation in Zurich.

The room was pretty big and nice. The price was not low but reasonable in comparison to other accommodations in Zurich.

Of course, it is not ideal to have a shared bathroom outside the room. Probably I would not take this room for more nights.

Nice comfortable aovernight stay at this hotel.

Close to trams and buses. Room is comfortable and clean. No fridge or kettle. Can borrow a kettle from the Cafe downstairs. Can borrow cutlery and plates too from the Cafe downstairs. Shared bathroom with separate toilet.

Fridge and kettle in the room. Maybe a microwave?

Great stay, highly recommend

Staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful - happy to help with any request. Location is great, about 20 min walk from the station. Beds are comfy and the place is comfortable. Would stay again!

Would’ve preferred a private bathroom, but we knew it was shared before we arrived, and it’s was a clean and comfortable bathroom

Great option for exploring old Zurich.

Staff all very helpful and they spoke English quite well. It was great to have the cafe on the 1st floor. Public transportation went right by the door -- making it easier to get around. Everything was nice and clean. We hardly saw any of the other guests.

No private bathroom (but we knew that before we booked. ) Water was hot and plentiful. Nice shower.

Great stay in an expensive city!

V spacious room. TV with apps. Sofa and chair in room. Close to shared bathroom and toilet, no issues sharing, mostly was just us. Friendly staff on arrival. Cafe downstairs great food. Not too far to station

A few dodgy types nearby by the park. Small lift.
