Love the design of the rooms in this hotel, bathroom was gorgeous and had really nice toiletries - so no need to pack your own. It’s self check in, but that was easy. Very close to the station and in a nice area.

I liked the decor but everthing in the room did feel quite cheap, especially the bedding, one side had one pillow and one side had two pillows stuffed in one case. The pillows were far too thin. The room was just quite worn, scuffs all over the walls etc. Great location though but i think overproced for the quality.

There is no 24 hour manned check in. The automated check in did not work and the reception area is not lit. This was very unnerving when arriving on my own, late after a flight delay.

The room was clean but small. The double bed was against the wall so one person would struggle to get up in the night without waking the other. It was very hot when we stayed - the room was airconditioned but not a comfortable night's sleep if you were sleeping against the wall. Definitely worth considering upgrading to a bigger room if staying during the warmer months.

Nice looking property. Easy 5 minute walk to train station and nearby a grocery store and several cafes. Biggest drawback was lack of air conditioning and train noise, but overall a good experience.

No Air Conditioning during summer stay

I would not recommend staying here during warm months. The air conditioning in the room was not working at all. We stayed for 3 nights & each day when we reached out to let them know our room was very warm they said they would take care of it & they never did. There is not s formal front desk & we were usually out for the day before anyone arrived & we returned to the hotel after the staff had left for the day so there was never anyone to discuss the problem with them n person but I would call each day & ask them to resolve it while we were out. Unfortunately leaving the windows open for a breeze was not am option as the hotel is located directly next to Zurich HB which was tremendously convenient for travel but way too loud overnight to keep windows open. The temperature of the room was between 80-82 degrees the entire staff even though we had the temperature set much lower. I am still waiting to hear back from the hotel directly or hotels.com for resolution. A 3 night stay totaled over $1,000. This is not acceptable for a hotel with no air conditioning in the middle of summer.

The hotel is around 5 mins walk from train station. There are many tram stops around the hotel make it easy to get around Zurich. Many groceries store and good local restaurants to choose from within 5-10 mins walk. I would stay here again if we go back to Zurich.

I really liked the proximity to the train station and old town area. I thought there were good restaurants nearby and some options for grocery shopping. I thought the hotel room was nice and clean and had what I needed for my stay. The staff was polite, although I wish there was a more clear reception area.

Some minors considerations

Very closely located to train station which was very convenient. Hotel nice and stylish however bedroom had some wear and tear to decor. Twice I needed help from staff was due to issues with check in machine and with deactivated card - on both occasions the only staff available was the man at the bar. He was very helpful but he had to consult colleague on both occasions for support as he was managing the bar. I felt bad for him and he was helpless and didn’t know how to help which seemed to leave him feeling guilty. I had to walk to sister hotel on one of the occasions to fix card which was only 1 minute away but still may not please everybody. Pillows very soft, and rooms sadly very dark. When you put the lights on there was only the option for full bright lights all around the room or nothing so wasn’t a great ambience. Overall would recommend but with these points in mind.
