The restaurant staff on arrival were very welcoming. We were provided with complimentary coffee and some cake. We were able to park beneath the property with lift access to the bistro that also acts as a reception. When booking in advance of our stay we were given the name of the room (Albis), a superior apartment on the second floor but this was not the room we were offered on arrival by the restaurant staff who greeted us. The room allocated (Titlis) was on the first floor. When entering the room the safe battery was bleeping and the staff member kindly changed it for us. The room had not been properly cleaned, The coffee machine took six operations to get clean water running through it, most furniture surfaces were extremely dusty, thick dust that is including on the bed frame and on the light over the bed. There were long dark hairs on one of the towels draped over the bath. There were small mosaic tiles missing from the floor in the shower room. Furniture surfaces were marked and scratched. We were very uncomfortable, so sent two email messages to the hotel (Vreni Ginger, host who we never met) on the first night. We left the hotel mid morning after breakfast the next day deciding to cut short our stay there and book elsewhere. The hotel agreed to refund the night we didn’t stay there but charged us for the night we did. We were told that they would have been prepared to upgrade our room but this was only offered after we had left mid morning.

Dear Guest Thank you for your honest accounts of your stay in our hotel. It is truly regrettable to hear that our services could not convince you completely. By sending us your feedback, you have helped us identify room for further improvement on our part. As you already told us the first evening that you were not happy with the room and cleanliness of your room we tried to offer you a free upgrade on the second night to one of our Spa Suites. Also the rooms Albis and Titlis are the same category just the floor is first and second. There is no difference between the two rooms. To recompense you for your negative experience, we would like to provide with the best and most personalized hospitality during your next stay. It would mean the world to us, if we could welcome you once more at the Sorell Hotels and we'll show you that we can do better. Kind regards – Vreni Giger, your host

This is a charming boutique hotel overlooking Zurich. I arrived late in the evening, and the staff was welcoming. The room was perfect, it was more a studio than your typical hotel room. I could have stayed there much longer. The hotel is in the woods, with a great view overlooking Zurich. I used public transport and as long as you can walk up the stairs, it's the perfect spot. The breakfast was very nice too!

Initially it was a little confusing that there was no front desk. However, we realized and were informed that since it is a hotel with few rooms, there really is no need for a 24 front desk. Instead, the staff in the Bistro act as front desk and truly are jack of all trades. All staff was super kind, helpful and pleasant. Hotel is next to a famous theatre so at night, there is a lot of movement. On nights when the theatre is not running, be sure to make reservations for dinner or the kitchen closes very early. Hotel is also super close to public transportation. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and were pleased.

Very pleasant and affordable stay in Zurich. Free parking and breakfast. You can use your car to reach to the property but also a train station is just across the property. Up on the hill gives a great view for the surrounding area

The check-in was a little strange with no front desk—you have to check in in the bistro, but the room was very nice (and quite large) with an amazing view of Zurich. The included breakfast was also delicious. The one main downside is the curtain between the living/bedroom area and the bathroom. It would have been nice to have more of a separation.

Dear Guest Thank you for having taken the time to share your positive experience during your stay with us. We are very pleased to hear that you found the size and the view of the room as well as the breakfast in particular commendable. We regret that we could not meet your expectation about the check-in and the privacy in the room. All our rooms are big appartements in a loft style. As we only have 7 rooms a front desk is not necessary. We would be more than happy to welcome you again in the Sorell Hotel Rigiblick. Best regards Vreni Giger and the Rigiblick team

Apartment / Hotel
The hotel is comprised of very large self contained apartments which are enermous. Coffee maker, fridge, microwave and cooking facilities available. Free underground car parking with lift access directly to hotel. Cold buffet breakfast with usual fresh bread, rolls. crossaints, cereal, fruit and cooked meats available, egg based dishes are cooked to order, I had scrambled eggs with bacon both mornings which were excellent. The staff are fantastic and make your stay as comfortable and pleasurable as possible. Good location, 10 minute drive into Zürich town centre. I would highly recommend and would stay again. The only negative is that the restaurant was closed for the duration of our stay.

Fantastic!
Our room was amazing with floor to ceiling Windows and high ceilings. It really felt like our own apartment. The area is away from the crowds and in an upscale neighborhood. Dinner at the restaurant was great! The staff was great and helpful. The bathroom layout is the only downfall as it does not feel private.

Chèr Michel Merci pour votre message. Nous apprécions vraiment que vous ayez pris le temps de décrire vos impressions Nous pouvons comprendre votre colère et votre déception. Nous vous prions de nous excuser sous toutes les formes! Malheureusement, à cause du COVID-19, nous avons été contraints de fermer notre hôtel pendant quelques mois depuis mars 2020 et d'ajuster divers services et offres après la réouverture. Cela était nécessaire pour pouvoir garantir la mise en œuvre des mesures de protection et sécuriser les emplois de nos employés. Nous vous demandons votre compréhension. Nous nous sommes efforcés de tenir à jour les informations sur les différents ajustements de nos services sur notre site Internet et les différents portails de réservation au cours des derniers mois. Nous n'y sommes évidemment pas parvenus avec Hotels.com. Nous vous présentons à nouveau nos excuses sous toutes ses formes! Nous contacterons bien entendu Hotels.com pour rembourser votre dépôt. Mais comme différents partenaires sont impliqués ici, cela peut prendre deux ou trois jours. Cela signifierait beaucoup pour nous de vous accueillir à nouveau à l'hôtel Sorell Rigiblick. Nous aimerions vous montrer que nous pouvons faire mieux. Sincères amitiés

Lovely small Hotel
We stayed one night in the Hotel and we got very warm and friendly welcome from the lovely host Sandra. She was super friendly and helpful. The room was very spacious but would need some updating and the cleanliness wasn't 100% in the room. The location was great, beautiful views and a nice ride down to the city with funicular. Breakfast was really good and for the request Sandra had soya yougurt and soya milk for us which was super nice. Thank you for everything, we will be back.
