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.

Cute hotel in a great location with excellent transport links and easy to walk to. Lovely decor and a quiet and relaxing room. Suggest some instructional info be left in rooms pertaining to hidden secret location of room thermostat. Addition of crockery, cutlery and drinking vessel would be useful in room with ‘kitchenette’, otherwise it’s really just a room with an extra sink. (Fridge would be expected in all rooms in a ‘boutique’ hotel). Additional alternative pillows recommended to facilitate support preference of guests also recommended.. not everyone likes a flat pillow. Overall A lovely place to stay 😁

Check in was a little confusing as we were told to use code to access the main door, but the keypad wasn't working. It turned out the door was unlocked, and then we had to use a tablet to check ourselves in and get our key card. Other than that, this place was great! Right next to the central station and within walking distance of a lot of great food and drink options.

Nice deluxe double room next to train station

Nice hotel next to Zurich train station. No contact self check at the cafe. Hotel will send email 24 hours before arrival with pass code for check in. Worth to stay in Deluxe Double room as it was much larger than the standard rooms which were squeezy.
