Very conveniently located, close to train station, shopping and the old town - easily walkable. Our room was very small - two people kept bumping into each other. Beds were comfortable.

Perfect location.

Perfect location for walking around Zurich. Very close to the train station also. The only negative was the room was too hot (no A/C) and the windows did not open on the first floor. Not a good combination if you are going through the change (if you know what I mean)!

This was the perfect location. Steps from the main train station. Staff were so helpful and friendly. Steps from old town and great restaurants to include one in the hotel itself.

This hotel was centrally located, the lobby area and Steve were very accommodating, and the bar and restaurant areas great! As it’s typical of European hotels, once you get upstairs, the hallways were narrow and uninviting, and the rooms were very small. Most of our complaints centered around the bathroom. The hand soap and the shower soap were in squeezable containers, with zero instructions. So it took us a while to figure out that the containers were appliable plastic and you had to really squeeze them in order for the soap to come down. A simple note or a diagram would have been appreciated. There were no washcloths and the towels were limited. The shower was in the tub and there was a plexiglass panel covering half the tub, the tub was very high and you had limited space in order to sit on the edge and then swing your legs over. So if you’re a little older and not as agile as you used to be, this may create a problem. There were no outlets on either bedside table, one was provided on the desk and the other in the bathroom. USB would have been welcomed. We only joined in the casual restaurant and in the lounge area. The lounge was very busy each evening and there seem to be only one server so it took a while. The breakfast were good and depending on which day you were there, you were either welcomed cheerfully and helpfully or a bit surely. The big plus is how close they are to all transportation, especially the main train station. There were many shops and restaurants

The hotel is centrally located to old town and new town. It’s adjacent to the train station and the beautiful river! The hotel accommodations are renovated and very comfortable. The restaurant is delicious and also lively in the evening with music. We went for the Christmas markets and they were easy to get to and SO WORTH it!
