Güçlü bir seçenek
Otel genel olarak çok güzel ve temiz. Banyo tuvalet biraz küçük ama bu tercih edilmesini engelleyecek bir sorun değil. Özellikle otelin konumu Zürih in en merkezi ve hareketli yerinde. Bu, Zürih i hem yürüyerek hem de toplu taşımayla gezmek için büyük kolaylık sunuyor. Konaklama fiyatı da Zürih ölçülerine göre uygun.

Convenient location - very close to both the lake and the train station, right in the heart of the Old town. Two things to keep in mind - there is a flight of 20 stairs before you reach the elevator level - which is an issue with suitcases; since it faces the main square where a lot is happening during the summer - it is extermely noist until 2 am - I suspect this may not be an issue outside of te summer season. Very clean.

This hotel is in the middle of lots of shopping and dining. It's a good, simple older hotel with a great staff and within easy walking distance from the train station and all the older parts of town

We really liked the location of this property. Great restaurants and very walkable. But the hotel is above a restaurant and without AC windows opened leads to a lot of noises of dishes and setting up of chairs and tables. Make sure you get a fan. But, again, for the price the location is excellent.

The hotel was fine and the people were friendly. My ratings are based on the lack of air conditioning. It was really really hot and sleeping was difficult even with a fan. It was an unusual heat wave but if you are going to Zurich in the summer just keep in mind that this hotel is not air conditioned.

So VERY conveniently located. The building which was 600 years old was full of history! It even had a well in the cellar that was still functioning! But even more so Sylvia (the owner) and her son Lorenzo were so welcoming and accommodating. Thank you so much for all you did to make our stay in Zurich wonderful!

Very good location, but please be aware that there is no air conditioning and the bathroom is quite small.
Be aware that the hotel requires prepayment even though it is marked as "pay later" at expedia.

Quaint Hotel in the Middle of Everything…but…
This is a quaint hotel right on the street in the middle of everything in Old Town (oldest hotel in Zurich). But with that comes a few things to be aware of: 20 stairs to climb to get to the lobby. Tough with big luggage. 2. No air conditioning, just a table top fan. Beware if you go in the hot season. 3. Room is very small (#502). I know there are some big rooms ( ones ending in “1”), but we didn’t have it. All things considered, nice place to stay for only one or two nights.
