Hotel Hirschen

Hotel Hirschen is a mid-range hotel with about 27 rooms at Niederdorfstrasse 13, 8001 Zürich, on the main pedestrian lane of the Old Town in Switzerland. Niederdorfstrasse runs through the Niederdorf quarter on the east bank of the Limmat, lined with restaurants, bars, small shops and historic façades. The Grossmünster, the Limmatquai riverside, the Central tram interchange and the Zürich Opera House area are all within a short walk, and Hauptbahnhof lies roughly fifteen minutes away on foot or a brief tram ride. Staying here places visitors directly in the medieval core of the city, making it easy to explore on foot, though the lane is lively in the evening and some noise from nearby venues is possible. The hotel's character is traditional and compact, typical of Old Town buildings with narrow stairways and individually shaped rooms. Rooms are offered as Single Rooms, Double Rooms, Twin Rooms and Suites. Listed amenities include wifi, breakfast and a bar, and a vast choice of dining is on the doorstep, from Swiss fondue and rösti restaurants to Middle Eastern snack counters and modern cafes. There is no spa or pool, so the hotel suits sightseers, couples and budget-conscious business travellers rather than guests seeking resort facilities. The service is personal and informal, with front-desk staff able to recommend walking routes, restaurants and transport options. Typical rates range from about CHF 200 to CHF 350 per night depending on season, room category and events, which is moderate for such a central address. Visitors should note that the pedestrian zone means vehicle access is limited, so luggage is typically carried a short distance from a nearby stop; the hotel can advise on the best approach. Evening atmosphere is part of the charm for many guests, and earplugs or an upper-floor room can help light sleepers.
