Lovely hotel and staff. Great location for walking to the shops and restaurants in of town. Within walking distance to the train station and public transit.
joanna, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

It was a reasonably priced, clean hotel in a very convenient location. Some reviews mentioned the air conditioning didn’t work well but it was definitely cool enough in our room and the weather was very warm during our stay. The rooms were pretty small though like a lot of European hotels.
Philip, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Nice hotel great location. Chocolate fountain was a nice touch along with the chocolate theme. Rooms were small but sufficient for our stay. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Would recommend.

Stephanie, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Excellent as usual for many years guest. Rooms compared to other destinations globally, very small.
RENE RALPH, 5-night trip

8/10 Good

Great location near the main train station. Lots of restaurants and shopping very near by. A/C was not working properly and our room was very hot. They gave us a small fan but it was a long sweaty night. If we were staying more than two nights we surely would have left. We stayed in this same hotel last year at this time and the AC situation was the same. We had hoped they would have fixed it by now, but it was the same. I would inquire about this before making a reservation as Europe has been getting hit by heat waves and a stay here doing one of those will make for a very uncomfortable stay.

I love the design of the room. Very unique. They are selling chocolates next to the front desk area.
ALICIA, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great Location, numerous eating options right in the heart of old town and less than a 10 minute walk to the Banhof! Very safe area as well. Room was clean, European spartan, but everything you need. Check-In/Check-Out was very simple.
Darin, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Nice property and services. Shower was quite small and bathroom was small. Rooms were nice but on the smaller side even for Switzerland.
Paul, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

WC is out of order and required key for elevator to get there. We had to bring our luggages to the storage room ourselves.
TRINA, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Rooms are very small, expensive and not worth the value, no soap and shampoo, shower can be tripped hazard, hotel is located on major main bus/railway station which causes continuous noises. Receptionist was not friendly.
sharon, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Great location

We really enjoyed our stay. Location is fantastic. Staff were friendly and helpful. Check-in was easy. The room was very clean. My only suggestions would be to provide some drawer space (for example, a working night table rather than the decorative one) and have firmer pillows available.
Mike, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Room is but small for American standards. All comforts in the hotel and near by.
Lenin, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The hotel is located in an excellent location in the heart of the city. It is very nice the chocolate fountain and also the staff is very friendly.
Elizabeth, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

If you are looking to be where young and hip folks are and where different eateries are, this is the place for you! The vibe of the hotel is very cool and I liked that there was a reasonable priced breakfast available in the morning. Zurich is expensive, but this cute hotel is not--big thanks!
Nancie, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great for short stays!

We had a one night stay at the Swiss Chocolate at it was lovely. Such a fun quirky hotel, with an ample supply of chocolate in the fountain. My room was a single room with a lofted layout, which i needed to be careful at night during any descents to the bathroom. The room was very clean and had the amenities i needed to be comfortable.
Rachel, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very friendly front desk. Fun and comfortable hotel within walking distance of the train station and downtown. Everything is chocolate them and includes a chocolate fountain in the lobby.
Christopher, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

We recently stayed at Swiss chocolate hotel for four nights. The property itself is beautiful, the location is fantastic, and the staff at the front desk were friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. The amenities were great, and we really appreciated the overall ambiance of the hotel. However, one aspect of our stay that left us disappointed was the housekeeping service. Unfortunately, during the entire four days we were there, our room was not properly cleaned. While the bed was made daily, the sheets were never changed, and no full cleaning was done. Basic services such as refreshing towels, vacuuming, or replenishing toiletries were also noticeably lacking. We understand that things can occasionally be overlooked, but for a hotel of this standard, we expected more consistent attention to cleanliness. It impacted our overall comfort and experience. That said, with some improvements to housekeeping and attention to guest room maintenance, this hotel could easily be a top-tier choice. We hope to see positive changes in the future, as the potential is definitely there.
