For one night ok! Parking Garage, Train Station, Lake, Bus, Streets very close to the modern Hotel. Friendly staff, small bathroom, no bidet, little space around the bed, small but rather good breakfast buffet.

One of the best places Ive stayed in
Absolutely amazing stay. The hotel is one of the best Ive stayed in. Everyone is so lovely and helpful. Second to none for public transport. The bed is one of the most comfortable. But its the view that takes it all the way to the top of the list. Im regretting only staying one night to break up my journey home.

The Yarn ended up being a great choice for our time around Zurich. It was easy to reach by train and we loved the opportunity to spend time on the lake.

The room was beautiful, a very comfy bed, aircon was a bonus in the middle of August. The breakfast was great and it was a perfect location for sightseeing. I message the hotel before arrival to ensure there would be a bed and they were very quick to reply. We would love to stay again!

Relatively expensive and not at all flexible on check out dates - strange given it wasn’t that full. Didn’t come across as hugely customer focused - rather more on its processes
