Hotel UTO KULM car-free hideaway in Zurich♡

Nearly 5*

8.0

It was a great stay and excellent value for money. This was my second time staying, and it was just as comfortable as the first. As for the room, the only constructive feedback would be: • A larger smart TV would be a nice upgrade. • A latch on the windows would make it easier to keep them open on warm nights. • While there is an ironing service available, having an iron and ironing board in the room would be more convenient. Overall, it’s a great hotel with lovely rooms, and with a few small improvements it could easily reach a 5-star experience.

A special, unique location and spectacular panoramic views. The members of staff are friendly and accommodating. Rooms are comfortable, clean, and a good size. The breakfast is excellent: a wide selection of breakfast types and fresh bread options are available, and they can also assist with special dietary requirements.

I didn’t expect the hike from the bus stop to the hotel but luckily we packed in backpacks so we didn’t have to lug anything behind us. Beautiful views! Highly recommend!

I wish I knew the closest train was out of service before booking. I loved the hotel and the nearby walks/hikes, but it takes an hour to get to town. They have a replacement bus service (two separate buses) to the next closest station. Those buses only run from 6:20am to midnight. This is rough for some travellers. It is also hard to figure out how to get there at first. Our map took us to the bottom of the mountain at the back side instead of the front, and we had to hike up with our stuff. Avoid the tram - take the nearest train to Schweighof train station then catch the two busses near (EV1 or EV2)z Do not book this place if you have an early morning or late night planned - you will be paying too much money in taxis. Overall the location is beautiful, and we loved our stay. I just can’t stress enough how the location is quite tough for a person who is not familiar with the area and the transit. Avoid Apple & Google maps and rely on the Zurich metro website. We spent a lot of time in the hotel as it was harder to get and stay in town for long periods. If you love to come & go from town and eat out for every meal, avoid staying here. The hotel food is extremely pricy. You need to make grocery runs and take back food as there are no other close options.

We loved the staff. But the cleanliness side needs improvement. We saw 2 cockroaches in our room.

We really enjoyed our stay. The room itself was very clean cosy - all facilities worked well and we enjoyed access to English TV channels. I slept like a log every night. The views of Zurich were outstanding and beautiful. Our arrival was made tricky by the engineering works on the rail service. This resulted in our maps directing us to walk up the mountain from Albisgütli. Once we’d started, we had to carry on but it is quite a climb!! Not recommended for inexperienced hikers! Day 2, we learned of the bus replacement service which ran perfectly and served us well for the rest of our stay. Breakfast was delicious and the ‘marketstall’ food van served beverages and snacks - excellent nuggets and pretzels!
