Everything! All facilities were there and it was located at the most beautiful place

Rooms, SPA, Nature, FOOD - everything is excellent and perfect

Check-In via the machine was not possible. Staff from the restaurant came to the rescue.

Very clean, all functional, perfectly adequate in every way. Great for a quick rest while attending an event in the area.

Situated in the center of a quiet little village, the hotel was very conveniently located, near to Zurich while at the same time very peaceful and surrounded by greenery.

Superb breakfast.

I am this review at 5:30 in the morning, so I at least get to use my time with something useful instead of for example sleeping. And you too will probably not get much sleep if you stay at Gasthof Zum Hecht. You can partially thank the next door church for that, because they decided it is extremely important to enthusiastically ring out the time during - get this - the whole night. And here we go again ! I just got informed that it is now 05:45 - three gongs. Being on the mainstreet, morning traffic is also surprisingly heavy for a such a small town, and the hum and noise is joined by the passing of head lights on the walls here, because there are no curtains in front of the windows. And I have to say that this is nouveau experience in a hotel where you get charged €170 per night without breakfast. A good pillow is important for a good sleep. But the single pillow (I am in a “suite”) on the double bed is the big and synthetic fluffy kind which means I had to recruit a couple of cushions from the chairs. Insanely uncomfortable. At least you have several mosquitos keeping you company, which will see your twisting and turning in bed as an infallible sign of guaranteed freshness. I will fondly remember them as I scratch their business reminders during the day. Finally, the bathroom is unhelpfully designed against the 42 degree leaning roof, which makes using the toilet a challenge to say the least. Be prepared to adopt a stance reminding of defensive bullfighter to do # 1. I have a hard time seeing any male over 70 accomplishing this without risking some sort of a back problem. Better to sit down. So, now it is 0600 and the (loud !!) church bells ring first 3 times (a double ring to announce something really important is coming up) then 6 times to give the hour. Then after 5 seconds, the bells are tolling full speed for full six minutes to make sure nobody are, God forbid, asleep on this Thursday morning. Unlucky for me, I have to stay here one more night.

We have used this hotel in the past and it meets our requirements when visiting the area, convenient to train, bus and air travel. The staff have remained a constant offering assistance when required.

Clean, friendly staff. Large family room, with separate bedrooms and large tub. Newly renovated hotel and had parking on site. Very easy to get into downtown Zurich from here with kids.
