This is a great hotel. The different design of the building and its rooms make the place really unique and attractive and it is refreshing to stay in somewhere that does not all look exactly the same as other hotels. Rooms are large, comfortable, clean and very pretty. The staff are very helpful. Location is great. Highly recommended. More

My partner and I stayed at the Hotel Hirschen this weekend as he was competing in the Ironman. The hotel owner was completely understanding of the competitors' needs, allowing bikes in the room, allowing my partner to cook his own porridge in their microwave and making sure that breakfast was available earlier than normally served on the Sunday. I asked... More

My husband & I just came back from a week-trip to Zurich and we stayed in beautiful Rapperswil. Hotel Hirschen is right in the middle of the old town with perfect views of the lake and the mountains.. A few steps away from the castle and rosegarden, surrounded by very nice restaurants and with the train station just across the... More

Our recent stay at the Hotel Hirschen in Rapperswill was a wonderful Swiss experience. It's small size and individually well appointed rooms add to its charm. The location couldn't be better. Across the street from the train station and within walking distance to many restaurants, the ferry terminal, the castle and shops. Being outside of Zurich, it is more reasonably... More

Used the hotel as a base when we did Ironman Switzerland. There were 9 of us spear through 5 rooms. Booking the hotel was easy and they were very accommodating. They gave us big rooms and allowed us to put our bikes in the rooms for safety. The hotel is fairly small and the staff are really friendly. To get... More

Stayed here on business. Externally a typical Swiss old town hotel. First thing that hit me inside is the lift up the core of the staircase that's an eyesore. Room 44 on the top floor is modern, white and I believe, as per whole hotel, recently refurbished. However all the fixtures and fittings are flimsy and already showing early signs... More

We booked a stay here in conjunction with the Rapperswil Jazz/Blues Festival in July. The location couldn't have been better, as the music stages were just outside our door. We asked for a room on the quiet side of the hotel, and were given a room on the top floor, back side of the hotel. The room was not huge,... More

We stayed at the Hirschen based on the generally positive reviews here. We weren't disappointed. The hotel is located in the middle of "old" Rapperswil, a charming town on Lake Zurich. A walk along the lakefront is only a few minutes away and is beautiful both day and night. The rooms were spacious, clean and modern. We had a double... More

A good hotel - cheaper than others in the area. Close to the lake, and the centre of the town. Try and check out the gym that the Hotel can get you into - it's a 5 minute walk away from the hotel, but really good. Steam room, sauna, solarium etc - also fitness equipment if you want it! Also... More
