Guest Reviews
- alessia (9/5): - Ragazze della Reception deliziose. Bellissima la terrazza. Stanza molto pulita. Colazione piuttosto scarna.
- Barbara (10/5): - I spent only one night at Josephine’s Guesthouse during an international flight stopover. The staff were very kind and helpful, and I had a comfortable and restful night.
- Paula (10/5): -
- Frank Kilbourn (10/5): -
- CHENXI (10/5): -
- Karen (10/5): Highly recommend to other women, - The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The size of the room was spacious and very clean. The dining and outdoor area was spacious. The breakfast provided was fresh and enjoyable. Opportunities to meet other travellers. If we had to be picky, the location was not the best for accessing the old town.
- Paola (8/5): -
- Fiona (9/5): -
- Line (9/5): Very comfy - Excellent central location and very quiet surroundings. N/A
- Barbara (10/5): A most enjoyable, very safe and positive experience at Josephine’s! - Everything was lovely. Close to city but room quiet. Breakfast was adequate. A small TV or radio in the room maybe. Also a safe is advised thought.
- Caroline (9/5): Super Lage! - Die Lage ist spitze! Das Zimmer war sehr großzügig und sauber. Einfacher check-in und sehr nettes Personal an der Rezeption.
- Christine (10/5): Supe - Frühstück auf der Terrasse super.
- HIMARI (9/5): - チェックアウト時に忘れ物をしてしまったのですが、ご丁寧に対応くださり、後日しっかりと郵送で届けてくれました。
親切なご対応に大変感謝しています!
美味しい朝食に加えて、ルーフトップからの眺めも綺麗でしたし、部屋ごとに鍵付きの冷蔵庫がある点も良かったです。

- Trkulja (8/5): -
- Nicole (9/5): -
- Isabel (10/5): -
- Anke (8/5): Wir haben uns gut aufgehoben gefühlt. - Entspanntes Miteinander mit allen Gästen. Zentrale Lage. Leider ein ziemlich enges Bett für zwei Erwachsene. Für die Kürze der Zeit aber o.k.
- Emilie (9/5): -
- Elena (10/5): - Очень важно понимать, что это за место, чтобы не было нереальных ожиданий. Это не отель в полном смысле слова, а, скорее, пансион. Только для женщин, для семьи не подойдёт. И не подойдёт для тех, кто хочет более светской обстановки.
Завтрак довольно ограниченный - тут нет огромного шведского стола. Хлеб, масло, сыр, два вида варенья, йогурты, хлопья, фрукты, кофе, чай, сок. Но все это свежее, хлеб теплый, свежеиспеченный, кофе отличный, в хорошую погоду можно сесть на террасе с отличным видом (пятый этаж). Кухней можно пользоваться весь день - например, купить что-то и поесть в кухне по-человечески, на тарелке с ножом и вилкой. Кофе по время завтрака бесплатный, а в остальное время стоит 2 франка, что примерно в 2 раза дешевле, чем в любой кофейне. Есть холодильник, от которого выдаётся ключ. На -1 этаже - три стиральные машины, сушилки для белья, очень удобно. В номере было чисто, каждый день убирались.
Расположение прекрасное. В двух минутах ходьбы трамвайная остановка, и там же супермаркет.
Я советую очень внимательно читать, что там есть, а чего там нет, это важно, чтобы правильно настроиться.
- Wainwright (9/5): - Location good for my concert.
Loved the balcony and the views. All ok for an over night stay.
- Jenny (9/5): -
- Jovana (10/5): -
- Matthias (8/5): - Das ganze Packet. Das Frühstück ist etwas dürftig.
- Claudia (10/5): - Es war ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt,sehr gute zentrale Lage,trotzdem ruhig.Sehr gut mit ÖV in alle Richtungen
Alle waren sehr nett,habe sogar einen Tag verlängert.
Checkin unkompliziert.
Gerne wieder!
- Serena (7/5): - La struttura è carina, molto vicina alla stazione per cui molto comoda. La colazione è un po' scarsa, la mia stanza era pulita superficialmente, ma c'erano ragnatele di polvere ben visibili.
Per il prezzo pagato mi sarei aspettata qualcosa in più.
- Roswitha (6/5): -
- Agata (10/5): - To wymarzone miejsce dla kobiet, które szukają cichych, malowniczych i przystępnych warunków noclegowych w samym centrum Zurychu, a przy okazji chciałyby skorzystać z kuchni. Lokalizacja jest wymarzona, pokoje wygodne i świetnie zorganizowane, a atmosfera znakomita: cicha, przyjazna i siostrzeńska. Dostałyśmy klucz do prywatnego segmentu lodówki i same przygotowywałyśmy sobie kolację. Śniadanie było wyśmienite. Prostota, wdzięk i pomysłowość - dziękujemy!.
- Alicja (9/5): -
- Laura (10/5): -
- Angela (8/5): - Lage und Dachterrasse Auswahl beim Frühstück
- Esther (8/5): Agréable pour une nuit - L’emplacement, le roof top La salle de bain très petit et le petit déjeuner pourrait être amélioré (concombre desséché, fromage pas terrible)
- Telmaaaa (9/5): -
- Sigrid (8/5): - Lage und Ankunft war einfach. Zimmer sehr schön sauber.
- Agathe (10/5): Une nuit parfaite à Zurich - C’était propre et j’ai adoré qu’on soit qu’entre femmes Rien
- Luna (9/5): -
- Stella (8/5): Nice and relaxing stay in Zürich! - Perfect location!
Nice staff.
Spacious and quiet room. The breakfast could have been a bit more varied.
The shower head moved constantly while showering. That was a bit annoying.
- Caroline (8/5): Nice location and safe space for women - Good location and Women Only so felt safe No one on reception in the evening and breakfast choice not so wide - could have offered eggs for example
- Anna (10/5): -
- Mia (10/5): All Perfect! - Friendly staff, very clean, quiet and beautiful rooms, great breakfast. The location was perfect! We loved everything about Josephine's Guesthouse and highly recommend it! See you next time!

- victoria (10/5): -
- Marlis Luginbühl (10/5): -
- gloria (8/5): Ubicación excelente! Descanso asegurado - Limpieza ,ubicación , colchón . El desayuno un poco escaso , si te despistas en subir no tienes nada .
- Rphillip (8/5): - The place was accessible,the train station was within walking distance and the location was good.
Staff was very helpful and friendly The church bells that were just next door as they were pretty loud.
- Lokologang (6/5): -
- Katharina Taschek (10/5): A wonderful stay - Cute little breakfast buffet, comfy good sized room and super nice woman at the reception.
It was great to find some ear plugs placed on the bed. I would have liked some tissues/handkerchiefs in the bathroom.
- Sofia (8/5): Un angolo di tranquillità al femminile - Il terrazzo è bellissimo, la camera era ampia. Si respirava un clima di calma e serenità. Comoda la posizione. Il bagno potrebbe essere un pochino più grande e magari avrei previsto una televisione. Forse è una scelta legata al fatto che i muri non sono spessissimi, ho letto volentieri anziché guardare la tv.
- Manon (9/5): Fijne en mooie verzorgde locatie. - Mooie rustige accommodatie in het centrum van Zurich. Ik was er in de winter met slecht weer, maar het zal in de zomer leuk zijn op het dakterras. De kamer was sfeervol ingericht.
- Maria Gabriella (10/5): Struttura pulita e accogliente - pulizia e spazi comuni, rooftop molto bello, ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo, personale disponibile e gentile migliorabile la colazione
- Danielle (8/5): Safe and Affordable stay in Zurich - Spacious room. 10 min from main train station and right around corner from tram. Felt safe and staff were friendly. Affordable. Small fridge with a key to store food in community kitchen. Great top floor balcony. Things to note- The bed was uncomfortable for me-too soft. The room while large-is very bare bones kind of reminiscent of a dorm room. This was good for is for our time ( 2 days) and we chose based on affordability-and not needing all the “hotel amenities” The rooms can get loud(church bells and street noise)-but they supplied ear plugs, which did work well for me. The breakfast is vegetarian- some fruits, bread, yogurts and cheese.
- Gabriela (10/5): Amazing, you won’t regret booking this place! No complaints!! - Great, simple breakfast. Amazing and safe location. Very clean and spacious! The church clock does go off regularly but we were also there over Easter weekend so I can imagine it was more active then. Didn’t bother us tho as we were up at 9 for breakfast anyways!

- Pelin (9/5): -

- MAYUMI (4/5): 思っていたより残念だった - It's close to the station, so it's easy to get to.
The room is clean.
It's fun to interact with different people in the kitchen. Breakfast was supposed to start at 7 AM, but on our last day, nothing was prepared in the kitchen even after 7 AM. When we emailed the staff about this, they denied it, saying it should have been prepared, which is unacceptable.
The sound of the bell is loud.
The lock on the room door was very difficult to use, and it took a long time to open it.
- Pazce tocas (9/5): -
- Catherine (9/5): - Chambre assez spacieuse. Cuisine commune avec casier individuel dans le réfrigérateur. Très bonne connexion Wifi. Pas de télévision dans la chambre.
- MAYUMI (4/5): 雰囲気がよかったのに少しがっかり… - 駅から歩いて1分もかからないところにあり近くにはスーパーも薬局もあるので便利でした!又、キッチンではいろんな国の方と交流できて良かったです。 朝食は7時からのはずなのに、7時キッチンに行っても何一つ朝食の準備はされていませんでした。その日は朝早くに出発しないといけなかったので朝食付きで予約していたにも関わらず朝食が食べれなかったのが残念でした。なぜ準備されていなかったのか聞いてもされていたはずですと言われたので少し嫌な気分になりました。又部屋のドアの鍵は大変開けづらく何回差したり抜いたりしても開けられず入るのに時間がとてもかかりました。もう少しシンプルに開けられるドアだと良かったと思います。部屋は必要最低限のものがあると言う感じです。清潔感はありました。
- Karola (10/5): Grande - Super nett, gut gelegen, oben die Terrasse und Küche wunderbar, Laura an der Rezeption unheimlich nett und hilfsbereit, Parken mit Anwohnerkarte easy, herrlich geschlafen, Zimmer super Mein Bad war bissel klein, aber es gibt unterschiedliche Zimmer
- Wei (8/5): - This was my first time staying at an all-female hotel, and it made me feel very safe. They also provide a complimentary all-vegetarian breakfast, which I really loved. Perhaps because the Swiss are a bit more reserved, the staff don’t seem to smile as much as the French do
- Márcia (10/5): -
- Büsra (9/5): Parfait pour les femmes ! - Proche de tout, pas d'homme, pas d'enfant, pas de cris, c'est juste génial ! Le lit était trop petit pour deux, et matelas à ressorts pas top pour le dos.
- Catia (8/5): -
- Concepción (9/5): -
- Khrystyna (10/5): -
- Sabine (9/5): -
- Carlotz76 (10/5): posizione perfetta ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo - Posizione comodissima per visitare la cittá. Bellissima sala colazione e con terrazzo vista cittá.
- Ganna (9/5): - The only thing is that the Church of St. Jakob is nearby, so you can hear the bells. Otherwise, everything is worth the money.
- Sonia (9/5): -
- Beatrix Margrit (10/5): -
- Maria (9/5): Sunny, spacious rooms very close to public transport - Very comfortable room with lots of natural light and space. Reception staff were extremely kind and helpful and allowed me to check into my room early which was greatly appreciated after a long overnight flight. Super conveniently located near tram lines that connect directly to the main train station. Shared kitchen was well kept and stocked with all the necessary utensils. Nothing :)
- Helga (10/5): - heerlijk ontbijt, fijne sfeer, mooi dakterras, goeie locatie
- Carla Rocha (9/5): -
- Aikaterini (9/5): - Excellent location. Welcoming staff and spacious room. The terrace definitely worth a visit. The smell around the hallway and inside the room.
