Muy bonito y buena localización. Lo único negativo que encontré es que el cuarto no tiene aire acondicionado. Se pone caluroso para dormir. Para que entre un poco de fresco hay que abrir las ventanas y por lo tanto entra el sonido de la calle. A veces muy ruidoso. Gente hablando, carros, etc.

Hotel is in a great location. Close to tram stop, river, restaurants and shops and many tourist hot spots. We booked a cosy comfort room and it was very cosy. Really no room to move with 2 people and 2 cases. Perhaps look for a larger room if you can. Awesome Thai restaurant next door

The hotel is both modern and old fashioned—personalized tiny rooms honoring authors and providing samples of their books, the breakfast is both homey and abundant, a wonderful place to stay and to keep on returning to!

Great little hotel

3 night stay for start of Switzerland tour. So convenient short walk to tram stops. We received early checkin which was a real bonus after 14 hr flight Rooms are small but comfortable lift is tiny but we were on 3rd floor and used the stairs. Would definitely recommend this hotel. The city was doing major drainage so cab had to drop us off up the hill from hotel. Not an issue for use 70 year olds but there will be some people that wouldn’t be able to cope with the disruption
