Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers modern and clean rooms, though our room didn't have a great view. The design was impressive, although the room size was a bit small. The air conditioning was a plus as it's not common in many properties. The service was friendly and helpful, providing great recommendations. The location was convenient near the train station, but some nearby shops were not the best, and there was a noticeable smell of cigarettes in the hotel.
The hotel is situated in a vibrant location in Zurich, all in the perfect location. The rooms felt a bit cramped, but mine was in the corner, overlooking part of the old town, surrounded by bars and restaurants, yet surprisingly quiet thanks to the excellent double glazing.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were clean, modern, and quiet, with a spacious king-sized bed for ultimate comfort. However, the weekend nights could be a bit noisy due to the nearby construction area. On the bright side, the air conditioning worked perfectly, and the windows had shutters and blockout blinds to ensure a good night's sleep.
The hotel is situated in the heart of Old Towne Zurich, offering a perfect base for exploring the city. The rooms, although small, are kept clean and have air-conditioning. The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful.
The hotel is situated in a lively area with plenty of bars and restaurants, which can be both exciting and noisy. The rooms, although a bit compact, are equipped with efficient air conditioning, windows with shutters, and blackout blinds. The service is outstanding with a very professional and friendly staff offering helpful tour information and even assisting with train tickets. The central location is ideal for exploring the downtown sights but may get loud due to its proximity to busy establishments. Overall, a comfortable stay with excellent service and convenient location, despite some noise concerns.
The hotel is located in Old Town, within walking distance to many sites, restaurants, and the central train and bus station. The staff are extremely friendly and always ready to assist, providing valuable tour information and even selling train tickets. The rooms are very basic, with air conditioning but lack a cooling system, some cleanliness issues, and little air circulation. The dining options could be improved for those following plant-based diets. The location is excellent for exploring the downtown area, near cafes and shops on Neiderdorfstrasse.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean, comfy, well-equipped, and quiet, although a bit bland and not very practical for work due to the small desk. The service was very friendly and accommodating; the staff even offered helpful advice without us asking. The location was terrific, right in the heart of Zurich, with plenty of cafes and restaurants nearby. The dining experience was beyond exceptional with delicious cooked-to-order breakfast. Overall, a great choice for a stay in central Zurich.
