Local Walks and Attractions

The neighborhood includes a synagogue three minutes away and kosher ingredient shops. Longstreet, starting five minutes on foot, runs two kilometers to the Limmat River.

Transport and Location

Located in Zurich's Wiedikon district, the guesthouse is a four-minute walk from Kalkbreite/Bahnhof Wiedikon tram stop (Line 3 from Zurich main station). It is 1 km from Haus Konstruktiv, 2 km from St. Peter Church, Bahnhofstrasse, and the Old Town, and 2.5 km from Lake Zurich.

Check-out and Breakfast

Check-out is by 11 AM, with keys returned to the bar. Breakfast is available at the guesthouse. The property provides free WiFi throughout. Zurich Airport is the nearest airport.

“In my opinion, this is a solid budget base in an expensive city, roughly 25 minutes by foot from the main train station, or a quick local train ride. I found the option to make tea, plus USB charging points, particularly thoughtful touches. Its location proved ideal, in my experience, for a brief stopover with easy access to both the city center and connecting trains.”

Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Gasthaus Zum Guten Glueck is known for its surprisingly spacious and tastefully renovated rooms, some featuring high ceilings and lovely windows. Many guests appreciate the excellent breakfast available in the café downstairs, along with the option of enjoying pancakes and other dishes at the outside tables. The hotel's proximity to the Wiedikon railway station and its accessibility to the city center, either by walking or via the nearby tram, is a definite plus, although some guests have noted the lack of air conditioning during the summer months. The shared bathrooms are generally perceived as large and very clean, and the availability of a shared kettle in the hallway adds convenience.

Acceptable , but with Issues

creaky bedineffective fan
I was not impressed with several aspects of my stay. The bed creaked loudly with every movement , which was quite disruptive. Also , the fan in the room was not effective , and the shared toilet being right next to my room was noisy. This made it difficult to get a good night's sleep.
