Arno said: Thanks for the hotel suggestions Slowpoke. I'll consider adding them to the Zurich page. ">>Arno- it's up to you, whether you add them or not. It is your web site, and if you have not tried them, you should be sure about them.
I have been using the Adler for 12 or 13 years, after trying several others. 10 minutes from the Bahnhof, or two tram stops on the number 4.
The restaurant is good, the service is excellent ( of course, they know me well...;-) and help me out with early arrivals, etc.) the rooms are not large but are not small by Swiss standards, and you are in the Niederdorf, if that appeals.
The only problem for people who are not hard of hearing is that it can be noisy outside, especially on weekends. The windows are soundproof, but, in the summer, you will want them open. I just take out my hearing aids.
If you check them out, you might ask for Demet Soyalp - the manager - and mention my name and my recommendation to you. You won't get a better rate, but I might.;-) I think you have my name in the forum records. If not, I did send you a private e-mail the other day, about one forum software feature.
I have no personal experience with the Walhalla. It is really close to the Bahnhof, and I'm told it has a direct connection with the underground mid-track pedestrian cross tunnel.
<"The Widder is expensive indeed, but, the Youth hostel is listed as well (click Next in the bottom of the page).
Something for everyone, and, if you wish to spend the money, it is worthwhile to sample the best that Switzerland has to offer.
