Franziskaner Hotel - Zürih

In considering my ratings, it is important to know that we have traveled extensively in Switzerland and have found even budget hotels to be quite clean and satisfactory. That said, the pluses of the Franziskaner are its location (right in the middle of the pedestrian district of the old town, and an easy walk to the lakefront and business district), the friendly and helpful staff, and the low price relative to others in the same area. Drawbacks were that the rooms are small (to be expected, though, in the old town); there is considerable street noise (also to be expected given the location); and there is no air conditioning (likely only a problem for a small portion of the year, but we were there in August...each room had a fan, but this was ineffective...and too much street noise to leave the windows open...I recommend picking up a travel white noise machine, as this can come in handy almost anywhere you stay).

Modern hotel with small rooms. Located in a district with busy night-life. Noise from restaurants and night-clubs in the surrounding. Lively night-life. The hotel has no air comdition. Warm and humid room! Impossible to sleep with open window due to terrible noise from the streets until 03 am. Noisy cleaning of the streets starts at 06 in the morning. This hotel does not suit people liking a quit place!

sehr schönes, zentral in der Altstadt gelegenes Hotel! Nachts bei offenem Fenster ziemlich laut. Wenn man das Fenster schließt ist von dem Lärm nichts mehr zu hören! Sehr nettes Personal. Gutes Frühstücksbuffet!

Hotel in bester Lage, entsprechender 3 * Standard

J'ai trouvé cet hôtel via votre site et je dois dire que l'emplacement est excellent car en plein centre ville, l'accueil y est charmant. La chambre est simple mais de bon confort.
