We enjoyed the hotel very much. It just lacked in some personal amenities: glass for drinking, instead a paper cup for example.

Good location.
Good location making it easy to get around Zurich, whether walking or using the efficient public transport. The room was relatively small with basic amenities but was clean and comfortable.

Good value, and good service
We had a very nice stay here. The staff were all very helpful, the room was good, and breakfast was also good. The breakfast area was very crowded on the days we visited due to the holiday, but even so, there was adequate seating, and a variety of food options. I would stay here again.

The hotel was in a great location. But, the rooms were extremely small. There was barely enough room to open our suite cases. Also, the air conditioning did not work very well.

Basic amenities
The hotel is clean and comfortable and is near tram stations. Biggest concerns are that there are no complementary bottled water, no coffee machine and glasses, there does not appear to have handicap ramp at the hotel entrance and it is challenging for travelers to carry luggage using several steep stairs.

3 nights in Zurich
The hotel was in a very good location in a quiet area but easily walkable to Zurich old town. The bed was comfortable and the room was spacious. There was no kettle or fridge in the room but the hotel had hot water available from the bar, and a fridge at reception for any snacks which needed one. The staff were always friendly and approachable for any requests. Luggage storage was available. We had a great stay.

Nice hotel
It was a nice lobby the room was a bit of a trek to get to. The room was very basic no phone no peep hole to see outside. Not much stations in the tv for English speaking. No bottled water in the room. Not much hanging space or drawers for clothing. The car area was good and the outdoor courtyard was good to sit out in.

Nice Place to stay in Zurich
Lots of places to see and eat nearby. If you have a choice a lot of things are closed on Sunday. Some restaurants are closed Sun and Mon. The Hotel is nice but not super fancy. The level of service was excellent to a person. A surcharge breakfast is offered but we like to wander and skipped it. The rooms were small but comfortable. We like in room coffee which was not offered.
