Lovely hotel and restaurant on the outskirts of Zurich. Having arrived later than planned and not knowing the area, we dined in the restaurant, which was a nice surprise and may be an even bigger draw than the hotel itself. The dishes were made with care and reasonably priced for the region. The staff were hospitable and efficient. As a renovated older building, the room was spacious and characterful, with exposed wood beams and other preserved details. It was also well appointed and clean. The recurring lion motif, appropriate given the name, is either cute or kitsch depending on one’s taste, but is completely in line with the pride (so to speak) and historical connections of the city itself; look up the coat of arms, the Venetian alliance, the sculptor Urs Eggenschwyler, and of course the hockey team. As a family, we actually much preferred staying here to central Zurich.

Very Nice Area and Nice staff

Mixed feelings about this one. The hotel Itself and the room were lovely .The windows of the room were extremely good at blocking a lot of the street noise. We had some laundry done and it was back in less than 24 hours which was great. When I asked in advance if there was a bar fridge they advised there were no fridges in the rooms but that they would place one in our room which was done and greatly appreciated. The mixed portion comes in with a couple of other pieces - we were there for two nights so one full day . When we checked in we were told about the shared balcony we could sit out on and enjoy a beverage and the library we could get a coffee in any time in. However when we went to get a coffee and bring wine to sit outside in the afternoon of the full day it was clear there was some kind of meeting going on. When I asked at the front desk they confirmed that the spaces were both in use for a netting til 6 pm . We’d think that would have been known the day prior and so those amenities should It have been offered. Also when we came back from the ( same ) day of sightseeing around 3:30 we were surprised our room had not been done - when we asked we were told the rooms that were turning were done first and other rooms would be done later that. we’ve never experienced that in all our travels over the years so maybe that could have been shared on check in. Both contributed to affecting my birthday plans which was part of why we had booked here

Great location which is its best feature. Room was hot and portable air conditioner was ineffective. A separate sheet from the duvet would have been appreciated rather than having to sleep with no covering.

Good location! Easy access to trains! Good food
