The lady from reception was incredibly helpful. Cozy room, excellent breakfast.

Decent hotel for the area and price point
Chelsea, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The property was located in the beautiful area with plenty of amenities. The only downside of my stay was the lack of conditioning ( which is common in Europe during summers)
Ernest, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Nice stay in Zurich

Great area of Zürich to walk into the city. Small, but clean rooms. Good breakfast spread. It was very warm in the room, even though they provided a mobile fan.
Abby, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

We got to the hotel during hot weather. As instructed online, I called the property the day before we checked in to ensure there would be portable AC in the room. However, we were told only fan is available in the 90+ degree weather. We could not sleep during the nights. Won’t stay here again.
Weiying, 2-night trip

Easy to get to from station. Clean. Comfortable beds. Good breakfast. Bathroom too small.

10/10 Excellent

Great room for the price and even better view! Our room had space to hang out and 2 balconies. I was also surprised by the breakfast. I figured it would be a basic continental breakfast but there were many options.
Samantha, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

When you check in there
Anil, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

That is a good hotel for a short stay in Zurich. One should keep in mind, that when you check-in in the night hours there's no front desk manager to open the entrance door so do not forget to request a code to enter the premises.
Aleksey, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Conveniently right off the bus stop and within the Old Town of Zurich, 10 mins to the main train station. The hotel is small and compact but very clean and includes all the amenities. I love the rubber ducky. The breakfast was included with our room. It provides variety of breakfast items. The waffle is delicious and different to American ones. The outside seats are perfect to enjoy the morning meal.

Elena, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

Not very clean, clogged sink, they didn’t service our room, terrible pillows. Lady at reception was nice but said she’d get maintenance to fix the clogged sink and didn’t, so not very effective. Breakfast was good.
rebekah, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Room was hot at night, fan supplied was too noisy to run
Russell, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Self check in is not easy. Their system does not recognize Expedia reservation number, so have to call to get room key. No where were we give the door code, so had to wing it. Check in could be improved!!
Peter, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

no hot water, no tv, noone to talk to about it

The hotel doesn't have anyone on call in the evenings. Water were lukewarm, and TV didn't work, but there was no one to talk to about it.
Erez, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We loved how quiet the hotel and surrounding streets are. The beds were very comfortable. And, the area was conveniently located. The staff was mixed. Cristina was great, making good dinner recommendations, and affording an early check-in. Another staff member, said, at 6:30 in the morning, that “she wasn’t here yet”(?) And, when I asked her to send a postcard back to the US, with their next mail, she seemed very put out. So, I asked for it back, and sent it myself. Not a friendly face, first thing in the morning, and terrible last impression. But, overall, we liked the hotel.
Lisa, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Not quite sure

We had an early train to catch so we decided to stay overnight in Zurich so we wouldn’t be late. Though it served its purpose, we have mixed feelings about this hotel. We were able to park in one of there four parking spaces and check-in before returning our rental car over by the main train station. The walk back to the hotel from there was not terribly long, but we wouldn’t want to make that walk with luggage, so we took a taxi back to the train station the next morning. We know that most hotel rooms in Europe are small, but other than the bed, everything else was tiny, including the shower. I think the bathroom was what most of our complaints are about. It really was not as clean as we would expect, the shower drain was very slow, so we were standing in a lot of water, and the hair dryer didn’t work. There was a portable AC unit in the room, and since it had been an unusually warm day for Zurich, it ran all night long to keep the room comfortable, so I’m glad that was there, as well as the complimentary water bottles. Also, the staff were very friendly, helpful and accommodating. We were able to check-in an hour early and they arranged for our taxi the next morning. Oh, there is a wonderful bakery right across the street that opens bright and early.

Camera pulita e silenziosa, personale gentile, hotel comodo al centro sia a piedi che con i mezzi di trasporto
Stefania, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

Zimmer sauber, aber unerträglich warm, weil es kein Klimaanlage gibt. Provisorisch aufgestellt Ventilatoren habe leider auch nicht geholfen. Frühstück war nett, Empfangsdame aber sehr unfreundlich. Soweit in Ordnung für ein-zwei Nächte.
