Loved this place! Was right in walking distance to many restaurants, shopping, and sights. We stayed in a room that sleeps three, and were pleasantly surprised when we got to our room and had a bottle of wine and a terrace off of our room! We also arrived early and the front desk had no problem holding our bags and even bringing them into the room for us when the room was ready. Would highly recommend!

Good location, fairly quiet considering the fact that it's in the city center. Restaurants, shopping and the river are close, easy walk from the train station. I did not like that the widows are blocked from opening and there is a super noisy portable air conditioning unit in the room. Also, as an international traveler, it's not easy to call the hotel and it would be more helpful if messaging responses were faster, especially on the arrival day

Weekend staff not as good as week day staff, they were awesome! Helpful advice on places to go and assistance with room and bag storage. Thankfully a portable air conditioner was placed in our room, certainly needed it as days were 30+ and nights in the low to mid 20’s. Wifi was not great, even the television buffered. Location was great for us, easy access to most things and in a quieter area. Would recommend to others.

Location is excellant near a very lively plaza. Room is very functional with a mini kitchen and a fridge. We had a window open in to plaza that made it interesting. They are in process of finishing the upgrade of the hotel, so ask for a fan as room tends to be warm

The hotel was in a very good location, very close to everything. The hotel room and bathroom were very small, but I understand, that is normal for Europe. We arrived a the hotel around 11 am, our room wasn't ready yet. We were able to leave our luggage and walk around. We came back at 2:45 pm and the room was still not ready. We were told to come back in 15 min. We did come back in 15 min and the room was ready.

This was a terrible hotel. The room was too small to even move around. There is no sound proofing and it was too noisy from outside even with the windows closed. The bed was very uncomfortable and small. It's just a waste of money to stay here.

Everybody was fine. The hotel was fine, good location, the ad was misleading about the breakfast. It did say continental breakfast “available “ when I booked, but when I asked, reception told me there was no breakfast. To be fair she was dealing with a guest, (there was a pause so I just asked where it was located?) her response made it sound like I was making it up. I wasn’t in the mood to argue about it, but I did verify when I got back to my room and the ad is very misleading. Honestly I don’t care, but it was a deciding factor since I was traveling with my daughter.

The front office staffs are very friendly. The hotel is very centrally located in the old town with a lot of restaurants in walking distance. The weekend can get a little noisy from the street. The WiFi is extremely unreliable. The room is spacious but Bathroom is very tight can fit one person at the time. We had do no disturb sign on in the morning but housekeeping open the door without even knocking at 8am which is terrible. We were told that some don’t speak English but the sign has a sleeping symbol on it which is universal. Thankfully we were awake and stopped them coming in right away.

This hotel has some serious problems. The worst is that for some reason, it appears the keys open any room doors. This happened to me twice during my stay where someone else got into my room. I had to double secure it to avoid people getting in. Totally unacceptable. There's no receptionist 24/7 so when I left I basically left the property with zero assistance. Another issue, despite this is not the staff's fault is that this hotel is right on one of the busiest streets in Zurich, so I stayed on a Friday night and I simply couldn't sleep because of the noise. Maybe better acoustic insulation on the windows? Overall a bad experience, I wouldn't recommend.
