    We were very pleased with this place. It is on a quiet street with the lake a ten to fifteen minute walk from the hotel. We also walked into the main town area of Zurich and appreciated even more that we were staying at the Signau property as Zurich was very crowded. The hotel suggested some restaurants that were maybe a five minute walk away. They were good and appeared to be filled with many more locals than tourists.

    Excellent location and really friendly and helpful staff at reception. The breakfast “greeter” did appear disinterested but everybody else were super welcoming. The fondue restaurant was fantastic and full of locals - always a good sign ! The hotel put extra AC units in the room (without being asked for ) and these were needed as it was really hot outside
