Boutique Hotel Wellenberg

“Loved the hotel on balance.....”

The Wellenberg was a lovely hotel. The location is great for access to restaurants and bars, plus a lovely walk into the old town across the river.

The Wellenberg was a lovely hotel. The location is great for access to restaurants and bars, plus a lovely walk into the old town across the river. Pretty perfect location if a little noisy, but good window and shutter sound proofing. The breakfast was fantastic though very busy, but we managed to get a table. The lounge and family room were a great area to "crash out". The only reason i knock it down from a 5 was that the room had a few small but annoying issues - nothing big, but pulls down the star rating of the hotel. Don't let this stop you booking what is a great location, lovely hotel, great breakfast but the minor room points made it not quite a 5 out of 5. (USB charging not all working, no air condition controls (it was October and too hot), and a small unfortunate bathroom sink leak - which got resolved quickly)

“Perfectly fine (until you have to rely on the lifts)”

Stayed here on a business trip to Zurich. The hotel is nice and central, very easy access to everything you are likely to want (or need) to visit in the city. Staff were friendly and helpful too.

Stayed here on a business trip to Zurich. The hotel is nice and central, very easy access to everything you are likely to want (or need) to visit in the city. Staff were friendly and helpful too. The room itself was pretty standard, though I have seen smaller places elsewhere in Zurich – this was decent sized. All plugs are Swiss – this may sound unsurprising but more places now offer direct USB or mixed plugs (eg EU) for electrics, and it was a bit of a surprise this place didn’t. No ironing board in the room, which is always an issue. There’s a sort of ‘guest sofa room’ on the first floor which is nice, but not very useful for doing work – chairs and tables are all a bit too low for that. And – when I managed to injure myself – the two lifts are a bit small and slow when a few people are trying to use them all at once. That was an extra pain. So perfectly pleasant, but nothing really exceptional.

Good hotel location which is why I chose it. About a 10 min walk from the train station. Hotel itself is based in the old town with lots of shops, cafes and restaurants nearby. Staff very welcoming particularly the young lady who gave us very helpful advice on which restaurants to consider and also advice on vegan restaurants. We didn’t end up going here but apparently The Hiltl offers good vegan options. Breakfast was included for us. Nice choice, and I must say the fruit and cold food selection was particularly well displayed and tasted delicious. Theres also a choice of cereals, breads, pastries, eggs, sausages. For some options you need to pay a surcharge! Prices are on the menus on the tables and this includes if you want a cappuccino or hot chocolate. We had a family room. Decent size and was quiet. The bathroom and particularly the bath looked dated, so this could be spruced up. Otherwise its a decent hotel in the heart of the old town and I would stay again. Be aware though, there are some roadworks going on just outside the hotel which we weren’t informed of before. But we were only staying for 1 night so didn’t impact us and our room was at the back so we couldn’t hear the noise. . Perhaps consider somewhere else if staying for longer whilst this work is ongoing.

“Ideal location”

Close enough to Zurich HB but directions to property would be helpful. No A/C as is typical with properties in the region, and our portable A/C unit instead pumped out heat which diminished the experience. Solid breakfast and outdoor courtyard areas, with a lovely lobby area with kids amenities.
