When I say that to the person ( he handles the breakfast ) he said that he couldn't do anything. he did not propose other solution, ( other functionnal room available, a gesture on the bill...) considering the price I paid,it is not reasonnable.
except that, the lunch was quite good, and the 2 waters were very nice.Too bad...

Not 3-Star

The images reflect a rosier picture than reality.

We booked for 4 nights but left after 3.

Overall we were disappointed in this venue. The location is excellent for the view and reasonable access to Zurich, but it is an old hotel so there are limitations and the facilities and the service were subpar.

On the plus side, the food was good in the restaurant and the service spotty, but on the whole the staff's attitude and demeanor ranged between indifference to ineptitude with an occasional rudeness.

There was not just a little mold in the bathroom, a shower that dripped from a 6' height every 4 seconds for the entire time keeping us awake, a hot stuffy room and requests for remediation as well as additional pillows went ignored and we were just made to feel as if we were being too fussy.

Great to visit for dinner with a view, but otherwise I wouldn't recommend this venue for anything more than an overnight stay driven by convenience.

One day business trip to Zurich

This was my first time with you and I must say that the service is excellent and the staff very friendly !: my key was ready in an envelope as promised (late check in), all the instructions were clear and correct and the breakfast and check out perfect.
My only regret is that my room didn't have bathroom: this was very upsetting when I arrived, around midnight. I checked again in my booking and I didn't find that important information. Hopefully I managed to find the common bathroom across my room.

The staff were very helpful. Eating on the patio overlooking the Lake of Zurich was fantastic. I had a fantastic dinner with wine made across the street, fish (perch) caught that morning, and great fresh gazpacho. The downside? I had a room on the top floor,?in the eaves. I bumped my head several times. It was also three flights of steps (I’m 74). The window was street side, with traffic noise and a fan for the heat. No elevator. Maybe getting a ‘good deal’ on Expedia wasn’t such a good deal.

Nettes, gemütliches sowie persönlich geführtes Hotel.

Die Zimmer zur Strasse sind eher laut und die Aussenbeleuchtung des Hotelschilds liess mein Badezimmer und (wenn man die Türe nicht schliesst) das Zimmer hell erstrahlen. Das störte etwas.

Positives: Cannot beat the ambience...hotel is set on lakeside Zurich...beautiful. When we checked in we were helped by Mario, who was extremely friendly, professional & helpful. Lobby is small & quaint adjacent to the restaurant with wood floors. Atmosphere is what you would expect from a boutique hotel, cozy but upscale. When you are not in your room you can either relax at a table outside with a glass a wine or walk a few steps to the pier & enjoy the view. Rooms had an unbeatable view of the lake, as well. Hotel restaurant has indoor/outdoor dining options & offers a varied selection with a slight emphasis on fish/seafood. Waiter was very patient when we had questions, especially since none of us speak German. We had a good breakfast that was included & the checkout process was efficient.

Negatives: While the main floor of the hotel is updated & still maintains a boutiquehotel charm, the same cannot be said of the rooms. They are in need of a renovation. Furniture is tattered, carpet needs replacing & bathrooms need updating. Our beds were hard & uncomfortable, too. Also, the rooms were not dirty but there needs to be extra care in housekeeping. Cob webs and dust in crevices, for example. Breakfast selection was good but they kept running out of things & had to wait for them to refill. I enjoyed the fresh fruit, eggs with cheese & bacon but the only sweet pastry was a very mediocre croissant. Last, no elevator. Overall, we still had a pleasant stay.

Nice hotel let down poor house-keeping

The hotel its self is very nice with a great location but was let down by their reservation system and poor house-keeping. The hotel contacted me a few days before my stay and said my room was not available for the first night so my wife and I would have to stay at a different hotel for one night but not to worry as it would to the same standard as the one had booked overlooking the lake. When I arrived, the only room available was a very small back room. It was disappointing to wake up on our first morning in Switzerland with no lake view, just a view of the main road! I had to ask Hotel Hirschen for a taxi to get to their hotel which I had to pay 60 CHF ($70), this was later refunded after two or three times of asking.
Breakfast was lovely and the restaurant staff very pleasant and helpful. However, the house-keeping /cleaning was poor. Our room wasn't vacuumed for six days, there were cob-webs above the bed, the bottom sheet had marks on but wasn’t changed, the shower didn't drain (reported to reception) and there was food left down the side of a chair. Also it was hit and miss whether they replaced the used coffee cups, refills for the coffee machine, bottled water etc. I wouldn't bother booking a suite as these are in the roof (no elevator) and the double rooms on the first and second floors have bigger windows with better views.
The hotel reception agreed with me over my concerns, they were apologetic but were reluctant to offer any solutions.

The hotel was in a great area on the lake. However it was very understaffed. The 3 people that were working the evening did their best in the very hot conditions. The meal was overpriced for what we ordered. The restaurant and hotel rooms have no A/C. If the hotel isn't willing to pay for A/C, they should at least have fans in the rooms when it's 90° . In the morning there was only 1 employee cooking breakfast, making coffee, serving tables and checking patrons out. This hotel is destined to fail unless the hotel ownership steps up.

Charming magical Hirschen am See

Excellent stay, charming quaint village on Lake Zurich, fantastic meal at the restaurant, the staff were all lovely. The breakfasts are delicious, especially the yogurt. We swam in the lake and went into Zurich daily via train, I can't wait to return.

Good views of Lake Zurich

Nice hotel with great views ( if you get sea view room) of the lake. The rooms facing the road will be noisy and hence when warm, will be a challenge as there is no a/c.Unfortunately the restaurant is closed Mon/Tus. - as are a lot of others in the area!! So beware arriving on these days. Breakfast was good. Drinks on the terrace is possible until 9:00pm - too early to enjoy sunset.

It was the best experience to stay there, I am in love with the hotel and its magical view, i am gonna come back next year and will choose this hotel again, however this hotel is bit far from city centre zurich hut transportation is very convenient and easy to reachable. There is no elevator/esclator to carry your luggage to top floors but the hotel staff is really helpful carrying your luggage.

This was a return after a 30 year gap and whilst the hotel’s location is as beautiful as ever, and the lake view from the windows in our room was absolutely wonderful! Sadly though there is no residents bar facilities at the hotel for residents. Returning at 23:00 on Saturday night to find access to reception & the bar locked out and on knocking the waiter attended to say it was all closed now even though we were residents. So sad that we could not even get a drink to take up to our room especially as we had used up the coffee supplied in the room that day!

Perfect place to relax at beautiful lake!

We had a very enjoyable stay at this lovely historic hotel which is clean, tastefully decorated, spacious and has wonderful seating indoor and out to view beautiful Lake Zurich from its restaurant. Being September it was very relaxed. We enjoyed seeing people still out on the dock and in the water swimming on a gorgeous sunny warm afternoon. Dinner at the hotel was delicious and the service was great excellent and friendly. Service at the front desk when we arrived was friendly and very helpful. Our room was spacious with large windows looking out at the view of water and mountains. It was very comfortable with a comfortable bed and seating area and large bathroom with tub shower combination. Breakfast was extra good! This was the perfect stop to end our European trip and get to the Zurich airport the next day. Wish we could have stayed longer. We didn’t think to check that the hotel didn’t have an elevator so we appreciated the help bringing up our bags. Parking was across the street and over a little in a private outdoor lot but no big deal once you saw how close it was.

What a magnificent experience. Stayed here while attending the 75th Anniversary of the Carl G. Jung institute as a presenter. What an honor it was and to have such a wonderful breakfast every morning set the right tone for each day. Dinner was also fantastic and they have a special sauvignon blanc from a local vineyard that was perfectly chilled and truly \"to die for\".

The lakeview room view was peaceful and beautiful. Comfortable bed. No help getting an early check-in was disappointing. No elevator, three floor walkup with no luggage help. TV remote did NOT work, which was frustrating. Restaurant had limited menu and like everything in Zurich, ridiculously overpriced: 80 CHF for ordinary lunch without wine for one person! But daily breakfast buffet was outstanding. 2km from Meilen train station, but infrequent bus across the street. The view and breakfast made it worth it, and hotel was a good value by Zurich standards.

Best place to stay on Zurich lake

Hotel Hirschen is an ideal place to spend aome days when visiting Meilen or neighboring towns. Perfect location on Zurich lake, with spots to swim sbd sit putside and watch the boats. The restaurant is very high quality, great wine list and has views over the lake. Breakfast also delicious and has eveything one needs to start the day. Very important is that the rooms are very well insulated on all sides and allows you yo have a good nights sleep. And staff is also top class.

As good as it looks

Make sure you book a room with lake view, the back of the hotel is on a busy road and half the pleasure is the view of the lake and mountains in the background. Be prepared to pay more at restaurants (excellent kitchen) than you would in the US. Very pleasant all weather terrasse for breakfast and dinner.: exceptional service all be it fairly common in Switzerland.Very happy of my selection conveniently outside Zürich.

Paid lots for no service.

After a month in Europe this is the most we paid for a hotel and got the least service. First no internet after some struggle reception gave us another option but that still did not work. Then no working TV!! We were compensated a free drink at the bar for all the inconvenience. We felt that was not enough. The room was lovely with an amazing view just too bad these other factors made our stay not very pleasant.

Nice hotel with a boutique feel.

Lovely hotel that is clean and comfortable.
The staff were very friendly and attentive.
Good views from our room over the lake.
The hotel itself is not very easy to get to from Zurich main station and takes an hour to reach from there.
The breakfast was a little sparse, two cooked items (bacon and scrambled eggs) and the usual continental breakfast choices.
Dinner options are varied and excellent.
Pillows were a little flat, no option for a plumper pillow.

This is actually a fine-dining restaurant at the ground floor with some rooms above. Building is quite old but still well-maintained. Location is by the road-side. If you get a room facing the road, it could be noisy unless your room is at the higher floors. Quite a short distance to Meilen train station and 17km to Zurich city. In view of the expensive hotels in Zurich, this hotel is considered reasonable.
