Loved this place! Was right in walking distance to many restaurants, shopping, and sights. We stayed in a room that sleeps three, and were pleasantly surprised when we got to our room and had a bottle of wine and a terrace off of our room! We also arrived early and the front desk had no problem holding our bags and even bringing them into the room for us when the room was ready. Would highly recommend!

Location is excellant near a very lively plaza. Room is very functional with a mini kitchen and a fridge. We had a window open in to plaza that made it interesting. They are in process of finishing the upgrade of the hotel, so ask for a fan as room tends to be warm

The hotel was in a very good location, very close to everything. The hotel room and bathroom were very small, but I understand, that is normal for Europe. We arrived a the hotel around 11 am, our room wasn't ready yet. We were able to leave our luggage and walk around. We came back at 2:45 pm and the room was still not ready. We were told to come back in 15 min. We did come back in 15 min and the room was ready.

This was a terrible hotel. The room was too small to even move around. There is no sound proofing and it was too noisy from outside even with the windows closed. The bed was very uncomfortable and small. It's just a waste of money to stay here.

The front office staffs are very friendly. The hotel is very centrally located in the old town with a lot of restaurants in walking distance. The weekend can get a little noisy from the street. The WiFi is extremely unreliable. The room is spacious but Bathroom is very tight can fit one person at the time. We had do no disturb sign on in the morning but housekeeping open the door without even knocking at 8am which is terrible. We were told that some don’t speak English but the sign has a sleeping symbol on it which is universal. Thankfully we were awake and stopped them coming in right away.

This hotel has some serious problems. The worst is that for some reason, it appears the keys open any room doors. This happened to me twice during my stay where someone else got into my room. I had to double secure it to avoid people getting in. Totally unacceptable. There's no receptionist 24/7 so when I left I basically left the property with zero assistance. Another issue, despite this is not the staff's fault is that this hotel is right on one of the busiest streets in Zurich, so I stayed on a Friday night and I simply couldn't sleep because of the noise. Maybe better acoustic insulation on the windows? Overall a bad experience, I wouldn't recommend.

O hotel é super bem localizado, o staff é muito atencioso, camas e travesseiros muito confortáveis, o box do banheiro é bem pequeno. A minha única reclamação é que o quarto é muito quente e não tem ar condicionado. Eles disponibilizaram um ventilador, ajudou bastante, mas mesmo assim ficava muito quente (fomos em Maio, a temperatura na cidade estava em torno de 15-20). Fora isso, o custo-benefício é excelente.

Nous sommes restés quatre nuits au Franziskaner en avril 2026. La chambre est très propre, moderne, compact mais comprend tout le nécéssaire pour cuisiner. La salle de bain est grande, bien éclairée, très fonctionnelle. L’hôtel est bien situé dans le vieux quartier Niederdorf de Zürich, à proximité de la gare centrale, de musées et d'une très grande offre de restaurants et de boutiques. Le personnel est courtois et attentif. L’édifice est bien insonorisé et si on garde les fenêtres fermées, c’est bien tranquille. Il faut savoir que les fenêtres donnent sur une cour intérieure où se trouve les terrasses de quelques restaurants et donc il y a de la musique et du bruit jusqu’à environ minuit et aussi tôt le matin lorsque le secteur est nettoyé. À part ce bémol nous avons apprécié cet établissement et n’hésitons pas à le recommander.
