I am this review at 5:30 in the morning, so I at least get to use my time with something useful instead of for example sleeping. And you too will probably not get much sleep if you stay at Gasthof Zum Hecht. You can partially thank the next door church for that, because they decided it is extremely important to enthusiastically ring out the time during - get this - the whole night. And here we go again ! I just got informed that it is now 05:45 - three gongs. Being on the mainstreet, morning traffic is also surprisingly heavy for a such a small town, and the hum and noise is joined by the passing of head lights on the walls here, because there are no curtains in front of the windows. And I have to say that this is nouveau experience in a hotel where you get charged €170 per night without breakfast. A good pillow is important for a good sleep. But the single pillow (I am in a “suite”) on the double bed is the big and synthetic fluffy kind which means I had to recruit a couple of cushions from the chairs. Insanely uncomfortable. At least you have several mosquitos keeping you company, which will see your twisting and turning in bed as an infallible sign of guaranteed freshness. I will fondly remember them as I scratch their business reminders during the day. Finally, the bathroom is unhelpfully designed against the 42 degree leaning roof, which makes using the toilet a challenge to say the least. Be prepared to adopt a stance reminding of defensive bullfighter to do # 1. I have a hard time seeing any male over 70 accomplishing this without risking some sort of a back problem. Better to sit down. So, now it is 0600 and the (loud !!) church bells ring first 3 times (a double ring to announce something really important is coming up) then 6 times to give the hour. Then after 5 seconds, the bells are tolling full speed for full six minutes to make sure nobody are, God forbid, asleep on this Thursday morning. Unlucky for me, I have to stay here one more night.

Nice and fresh breakfast with many options to choose from, friendly staff. A clean, peaceful, and beautiful place. Overall, a good experience.

The room was fabulous! Huge, comfortable, with a garden view and private patio. Feather comforters and pillows, abundant towels, and excellent housekeeping!

Breakfast buffet was amazing. Location couldn't be better, right smack in the middle and very close to the train station. Great base to explore Uster on foot and the region by train.

We stayed in the family room. There were plenty of space for our family of 4. There is a bedroom on the first floor and two single beds on the second floor. Also, there was a big family room with a couch and dinner table and huge terrace with nice view. There is a small kitchenette with all you might need for a short stay. We only spent one night but we would definitely recommend this room for a longer stay. There are plenty of free parking spaces. The facility is clean and everyone at the front desk were very friendly and helpful.

Breakfast buffet was basic and good. Very quiet location. The staff was friendly and very service oriented

The design, the equipment, the on-call availability, the cleanness

Nice host, nice room & good breakfast.
