Hotel Hechtplatz

Not a large room, but it has a private bathroom and it is clean and reasonably priced. Great location!

It seemed to have been recently renovated and was quiet, clean and tidy and reasonably spacious. The queen sized bed was comfortable but left little room at the bottom of the bed to squeeze past. The shower door was narrow and a large person would likely be unable to get into the shower recess. There was a quite effective tower fan but it appears there is no air-conditioning or heating. Not having a manned reception area was a big minus. Staff did not answer the phone before 12pm and often no one was available in the bar area until at least noon and sometimes much later.

I emailed the hotel letting them know I’d be arriving later since I saw other reviews. I get to the hotel and it’s closed. I didn’t have reception and my phone was dying. It was cold out and I was panicking. A nice couple tried to help me and the burger place close to the hotel was so kind. I finally got a hold of the owner after almost 2hrs in the cold and panicking and was finally let in. Would never stay again. It’s cheap but this is why. Would have paid double and been able to eat dinner and have a relaxing night in Zurich instead I was carrying luggage panicking I’d have to sleep on the cold street.
