Good and confortable

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Dec 17, 2019via mobile
This hotel hosted my first visit to Zürich. The location is far from Downtown but can be reached directly via Tram 4. Also there are two big shopping malls near this hotel again using that Tram in 3 stops. The service and food quality at this hotel was good.

    The staff was very kind and willing to help with whatever question I've had. The wellness area was a great experience, more then enough choices and very spacious. The breakfast had also had enough choices and especially the local cheeses are amazing. That the hotel believes in Rituals was a very nice touch, it's not always that you get this high quality soaps in a hotel.

    Room for improvement;
    The room was very hot, opening a Windows didn't do much good since a waterfall in the backyard was very loud, so the options were a hot room or a noisy one. The mattress was quite hard and the fact that I had to purchase a somewhat comfortable pillow turned me off. The bathroom had several black spots indicating some sort of mould, not much but it could definitely be cleaned better.

    Dear Mr. ThijsvdN.

    Thank you for having taken the time to share your experience of your stay with us at Sorell Hotel Sonnental on booking and TripAdvisor.

    I regret very much that we were unable to match your expectations during your recent stay with us. Your review will help us indentifying room for further improvement on our part. Despite that each and every room can be controlled by our guest for their heating preferences individually you felt too hot in your room. Also, since we offer a pillow menu for every guest we do not understand why you would have had to purchase a pillow.

    Kindly note for all points mentioned including the cleanliness of the room our Front Office team is more than happy to assist you between 6 am until 11 pm every day to make your stay more comfortable.

    Best regards
    Michael Schibler, General Manager

    This hotel wasn’t as plush as the Sorell near the Zurich zoo but was perfectly fine. We stayed in the extension. The walls/doors were on the thin side but nobody seems to have complained about our children. The restaurant was good. I wish I could have tried the wellness area.

    I changed my room with no problem. Very helpful staff. The room was small as usual for Europe. There is a safe and refrigerator. No shampoo or body lotion. Hotel location is convenient to train station to downtown Zurich. Parking is available. Very good breakfast. Delicious bread.

    Room tip: Any room is probably good.

    We have booked business double room to attend event at Samsung Hall. Our room was not resembling what was advertised on the hotel website. It was very basic, student like accommodation. It was located in the annexe building which was above restaurant therefore you could hear all deliveries arriving in the morning. In the room there was only one chair at the desk for two people to share and nothing other than beds to sit on. Room was very small and extremely hot. The hotel does not have air conditioning and we received a fan which was covered in dust which gave me very bad sinusitis from circulating all that in the air.

    Positive part of our stay was location to the venue and very good buffet breakfast.

    We do not recommend this hotel during hot summer months and do not advocate rooms in the annexe building.

    Dear mariasc0tland

    We are very sorry to hear that you have been overall disappointed with your recent stay with us. It is your opinion that our standard rooms do look like Student accomodation. May I suggest you book a higher category next time in the main building should you consider the Sonnental with more space for your comfort, direct access to our Spa, Grab n' Go coffee/tea station and elevator.

    This summer with two heatwaves End of June and July respectively were unbearable for all of us, including our employees.

    Kindly note that you should have refused the fan which was dusty and also the for you inappropriate room that was given to your party.
    Our receptionists are here for all guest inquiries between 6am until 11pm to ensure guest satisfaction at all times.

    Again, please accept my apologizes.

    Wishing you all the Best, with warm regards.
