This is a four star hotel—as expected. Clean, comfortable, nice rooms. We were upgraded to one of the largest rooms looking over the Zurich opera house and surrounding. I saw some rooms appeared much smaller. It is an historic building that has been nicely renovated as a hotel. We stayed five nights, in Zurich to visit friends. Location is perfect for central Zurich. Across from Opera house. Near central trolley plaza and trains. Restaurant is elegant and very expensive, but food is rather average. Four blocks away one finds cheap food stalls near the trolley. Staff of hotel were pleasant. We had few needs of them. Beds were on soft side. Room was very quiet despite looking out on the city. Just be aware Zurich is very expensive. You will figure that out quickly.

A truly wonderful stay! We had an amazing experience at this beautiful hotel in Zurich. Everything was perfect – from the elegant atmosphere to the exceptional service. The staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and professional, making us feel truly welcome from the moment we arrived. One of the highlights of our stay was the lovely birthday gesture they made for my daughter – it was such a thoughtful and heartwarming surprise that made our trip even more special. Thank you for making our time in Zurich so memorable. We would love to come back again soon! Efsun

This is a luxury boutique hotel that has all you could want in your time in Zurich for a reasonable price. Excellent dining, clean and comfortable rooms and bed, a wonderful shower with excellent soaps and shampoo, great service and concierge, in a gorgeous area of Zurich and within walking distance of everything. It is quiet as well. I was delighted with my stay at the Ambassador and will definitely return.

This hotel had little to no customer service. They didn't give us information, nor did they have a concierge. The beds were rock hard, and the AC didn't go below 20 degrees celsius. When we asked for lighter blankets, they turned up with warmer blankets. Truly disappointed. Not worth the price.
