Comfy and clean, perfect for our short stay in Zurich. Great location, very close to the main train station and easy walk around the city.
There was no air-con so it was very warm in the room. There was a fan provided but didn’t help very much.

Location- very near the railway station. Supermarket & restaurants nearby. Suite had nice decor & surprise was a microwave & toaster.
We had requested for an early check in as our international flighlt landed early at Zurich . The reply was that they will tell when we reach hotel. On reaching the girl at counter was not aware & very unhelpful. In evening the person at counter told us rooms were ready early. This was neither communicated to us nor did their staff in morning know about it.

I loved this hotel. The location was close to main train station. The furnishings were beautiful.
The room was small yet cozy and had wonderful decor (wall paper, furnishings, bedding). The bathroom was clean and had modern finishes.
The elevator was broken when we arrived so had to take my suitcase up the stairs. It was repaired shortly after.

Stylish hotel with everything at your doorstep.
Lovely clean and well presented room. In the middle of all the action and walking distance to everywhere.
Shame there wasn’t a small bar fridge.

Loved the location directly across from the HBF and one street up. Rooms were quaint and comfortable, and the staff was exceptional! The one drawback for our visit was that the elevator was non-functional, and we were on the top floor, floor 5, so we had to traipse up the stairs with our luggage both upon arrival and upon departure. They did offer free breakfast for our troubles, however, including free coffee to go. The second time I've stayed here and still wouldn't hesitate to stay again!

Fair hotel marred by the room position
Just the right location for the train station
We had a room overlooking the street. Too hot to close the windows. It was a Saturday night and the noise went on until we had to get up at 0430. Slept hardly at all.

Very convenient location in the heart of Zurich
The hotel is very convenient to the Zurich main station as well as the Bahnhofstrasse tram stop. Our room was quiet, perhaps because it was on the highest floor reachable with the lift. The decor is quaint and classy. The floor was not carpeted. Our room -- to our surprise -- was equipped with a Nespresso machine.
The online check-in process did not work perfectly. An important part of the Nespresso machine in our room -- a small tray to hold a cup and collect excess water -- had been removed, supposedly to accommodate the overly tall coffee cups provided.

Great location and big room.
The room (no17) was spacious with extra seats, a bench and good size bed. The bathroom was a good size so showering was not a squeeze. A jug and coffee/tea were available. The location is excellent as is the coffee in the Cafe below.
No aircon but a fan that didn't oscillate. TV reception was patchy and the DVD player (with free dvds available at reception) worked intermittently.

Good stay. Location is superb. Breakfast is average
The hotel room was neat and clean. The bed was comfortable. Fan is provided. But still summertime was a bit warm. There was a kettle and coffee maker. Location was too good. Near to Bahnhofstrasse and Zurich HB. Easy to buy sim as there’s a Sunrise shop nearby as well. There are many eateries nearby.
The bathrobes looked too old. Breakfast was just ok. No much variety. Just the basics.

Small hotel in very good location
Locayion just perfect- closed to main train station and all main attractions. Personnel were very friendly and helpful.
The room was very hot because the portable air conditioner was extremely noisy and couldn’t be used. It wasn’t possible to open the window either, as the street outside remained noisy until late at night, and at 8 a.m., construction workers started working on the building being renovated next door.

Overall its value of price and convenient.
Very nice location, close to the train station within 5 mins walk. Super nice staff, thanks for the recommendation and made me feel super welcomed.
Unfortunately, we arrived at Zurich at the time of heat wave, there’s no air conditioner in the room, only 1 big fan. Also, the mirror in the bathroom is too high for shorter height person, and the lighting is not good for make up purpose.

We like the location, it's in Banhofstrasse, the train station is just across the street, it is very convenient to catch your train to the airport. Plus, the hotel gives you a beer as a welcome drink. Staff are all helpful and friendly. I would stay there again when I'm in zurich.
The price. The room is very dark, we don't have a fridge, instant coffee in the table with kettle, but Starbucks is just around the corner, not a big deal.

Great location, check which rooms have air conditioning
Great location just 5 mins walk from the train station and just off the main shopping street in the old town. It was very hot 36c so we asked for an air conditioned room and were given room 52 on the very top floor. A lift up to the 5th floor and a flight of stairs to the top. The room was small but adequate. The controls of the air conditioning unit didn’t work but it was nice and cool for us. There’s a small roof top terrace attached to the room but it really needs doing up. Nice cafe attached to the hotel where the buffet breakfast was served.
