For one night ok! Parking Garage, Train Station, Lake, Bus, Streets very close to the modern Hotel. Friendly staff, small bathroom, no bidet, little space around the bed, small but rather good breakfast buffet.

One of the best places Ive stayed in

Absolutely amazing stay. The hotel is one of the best Ive stayed in. Everyone is so lovely and helpful. Second to none for public transport. The bed is one of the most comfortable. But its the view that takes it all the way to the top of the list. Im regretting only staying one night to break up my journey home.

Really enjoyed our stay at this property. It was out of the main Zürich area, so we found it quieter but we could easily catch a train wherever we needed. We stayed for two nights, then went to Maienfeld, then came back to stay. They kept our bags overnight for us for no charge which was really nice. They even left us chocolates in our new room on our return. The breakfast was tasty and fresh. Highly recommend.

8/10 Very good

The hotel is very nice, but something is wrong with their IT system. The online check in doesn’t work properly. I had to do the check in again at the reception. There I got a key for a room which was already occupied by another guest. How unprofessional! Nice thing to know: Free parking outside from 8pm to 8am.

This is our second time staying here. The staff is always so accommodating and friendly. We love the breakfast. It’s such a convenient location to the highway, the city and the airport. We love the closeness to the lake. We’ll be back!

Tolles uns sauberes Hotel mit bequemen Betten. Frühstück outstanding. Leider kostet die Gym Benutzung 20CHF extra, was in der Anzeige hier nicht ersichtlich ist, daher der Punkteabzug.

Kudos to the staff who are very accomodating and friendly! The front desk lady, who I forgot her name went above and beyond by accomodating us to check in early as we had a long flight from USA. Thank you Yarn hotel! We had a very great experience at your hotel.

2/10 Poor

Disappointing second stay at the yarn hotel

I recently stayed at the Yawn Hotel twice in two weeks, and while the first visit was excellent, the second was quite the opposite. **First Stay:** During our first visit, we had a wonderful experience. The rooms, though relatively small, were very clean, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. I had no complaints and left feeling satisfied. **Second Stay:** However, our excitement for the second stay quickly turned to disappointment. We arrived late at night to find our room had an awful smell, reminiscent of garbage and spoiled cabbage. After struggling to reach someone for assistance, we finally spoke to a helpful lady on the phone who moved us to another room. Unfortunately, this new room also had no hot water, which was unacceptable since we needed to leave by 9 AM. We ended up leaving early due to this inconvenience. To add to our frustration, I realized I had forgotten my connector and returned to the hotel to retrieve it. To my surprise, despite not formally checking out, the staff had already started cleaning our room. I learned from a local repairman that many guests had been facing the same issue with hot water, suggesting that this is a common problem at the hotel. What was most disappointing was the lack of effort from the hotel staff to address our concerns. No one reached out to see how they could help or offered any help or efforts for the terrible experience

Very nice stuff, very helpful. location is beautiful, walking distance from the lake. train & bus stations near by. breakfast was surprisingly reach, much more than standard continental breakfast.
