The Hotel:
Hotel Greulich is a "Design Hotel" located close to the centre of Zurich (Switzerland) and is named after Herman Greulich, a Polish social reformer who emigrated to Switzerland and founded the first Socialist Party of Switzerland (the hotel is situated on the corner of Herman-Greulich Strasse).
On arrival, my wife and I were a bit disappointed with the building from the outside. Although it was a unusual and cool exterior design, it looked like it needed sprucing up a bit. The windows on the 1st floor and above looked quite old, etc. but at ground floor level, it did look "Design", with a modern looking bar and restaurant.
After parking in the secure car park behind the hotel (20 Swiss Francs (CHF) per day), we checked in at reception and were taken to our room. The room was in a small interior courtyard ...
Advantages: Location, breakfast, comfort, cleanliness Disadvantages: Small; a little pricey
Helmhaus Swiss Q Hotel is one of the hotels in Zurich offered by Expedia in their flight plus hotel deals, and this is how we discovered it. Whilst not the cheapest option, its central location meant we could save both time and money travelling to and from the city. What's more, breakfast is included in the price. Reviews on Tripadvisor were very favourable, and a look at the hotel's website further encouraged us to make it our choice. We did not regret this.
My son and his partner booked a double room for three nights, and I booked a single for one night only. I cannot comment on how easy it is to book the hotel directly, as our reservations were made through Expedia. We booked in June for a stay in late August.
All three of us travelled with hand luggage only, and in about fifteen minutes we were easily able to walk from Zurich ...
Advantages: lovely clean hotel, friendly, english speaking Disadvantages: none
After a relatiely short transfer from the airport, we were greeted by friendly reception staff and porters. Arrived in a huge family suite with a queen sized bed and two singles for the children, the room was clean with a lovely balcony, however the air conditioing wasn't great!
Food was buffet style, great breakfasts, but were fairly repetitive, the scrambled eggs were to die for! Dinners were always great, something for everyone, even my fussy 4 and 7 year olds found plenty to eat with the large choice of dishes available, we stayed for a week and it was different every night. Buy water outside the hotel as it is quite expensive from the bar.
Pool and surrounding area was always spotless, but I can imagine that it gets quite busy at the height of summer.
No entertainment in the evenings meant that we were usually in bed before 10 ...
