It was OK for a short stay, Any longer and it could have put a dampener on the visit.
The location was ideal for the chance to be close to the main train station as well as the city center. We had the breakfast added to our stay and it was well presented and at a reasonable price in comparison to other local cafes.
Our room was not ideal for a couple as there was no room to unpack 2 suitcases and no storage space to put belongings. As we were only staying to 2 nights we were not really bothered about this. But for longer stay it would have become an issue. The bed was king size but the quilt was half the size which made us suspect the room was set up for a single traveller along with the fact that there was only a single towel. This was all soon resolved on our second day. Recommend to check ahead to ensure you are getting a fit for purpose room for your needs, Checking through the online photos it was clear that the room we had was not shown, so slightly misleading.

Great hotel in great location
Lovely little hotel in a great location (2mins walk from station and a nice 20min walk along the river to the old town) and really good helpful staff. Room very comfortable. Also had breakfast in the hotel (CHF21 each) which was very good!

Fabulous - a home away from home.
The hotel is perfectly situated only moments from the main station. Our room was lovely, quiet and comfortable with an eclectic mix of antique furnishings and lovely finishes. Downstairs, the bar doubles as the breakfast room. An intimate space, it was a pleasure to spend time in over a drink, or breakfast. The staff were wonderful - warm and welcoming. It was one of our best hotel stays ever.

Great location, near lots of restaurants and the public transport
The only downside was that our room was on the 6th floor and the lift only went to the 5th floor so it was a steep climb with the luggage

An ideal, comfortable and sensibly priced city centre stopover.
This is my default hotel in Zurich. It is right by the station, but quiet and in a nice area. The rooms are well appointed and large enough for my (and most people's) needs, The beds and bedding are top quality. It is a perfect city centre stopover at a sensible price.
Their only food offer is a small cafe doing a very simple breakfast. I don't find this a problem as there are a number of excellent cafe's very close, including in the station complex.

Nice hotel. Great location
Great hotel overall.
1. The bathroom is old and not comfortable, a disaster for tall people. 2. The breakfast was poor, no omelet, no vegetables.. 3. No refrigerator in the room.

Near the train station, friendly. Liked the repurposing of vintage furniture, creating a quirky vibe. Comfortable bed and very clean.
Minor: The shower curtain was a bit too short to fully stretch around the shower tray.

Excellent location, good to sleep and go
Excellent location right next to the Zürich HB train station. Overall clean and comfortable room.
Relatively basic amenities and things in the room. Nice decoration but no desk in the room for example whereas there was a decorative one that didn’t work as one. Good windows noise insulation, but thin walls and I could hear neighbors.

Wonderful stay at convenient hotel (especially if you want to be near the train), with great staff.
The location of the hotel was perfect for our needs, right near the train station and all the shops, restaurants, and lovely walks by the river. The staff was lovely, very friendly and helpful and welcoming. Our room was comfortable and worked well for our family.
The hotel does seem to be above a bar/nightclub, so we did hear some loud bass when we were going to bed at night. Not loud enough to keep us up, but noteworthy that it's there.

A Very Nice Stay!
A uniquely stylish and comfortable hotel located within walking distance of main railway station and shopping district. Friendly and helpful staff always available. Buffet breakfast (may or may not be included in room rate) offered a variety of savory/sweet items. The café/bar is a relaxing spot to start or end your day.

Memorable experience.
Fantastic location and a great management/housekeeping team. The handwritten notes to wish us a great stay as well as another one to wish us Happy New Year on New Year’s Eve really warm our hearts.
Pillows too soft but you can always request for hard ones.

Great location
The proximity to the main train station for a quick overnight stop in Zurich to go to the Lindt factory was why I chose this hotel. It’s nothing fancy but the lady on reception at check in was so friendly and welcoming as was the young man who took over the evening shift. The room was large as was the modern bathroom, and the decor was cosy. Everything is right on the doorstep, shopping, the old town and the river.
The extra bed for our daughter had an incredibly thin mattress which meant we had to listen to her complain the next day….teenager!

Poor cleaning. They only change towels.

Very good
The hotel is in an excellent location. It’s just a few minutes’ walk from the train station, making it very convenient to reach. The room was a bit small but manageable. The bed and pillows were comfortable, providing a good night’s sleep. Overall, considering the price-performance ratio, it was a very good hotel.
While the hotel met our expectations in terms of location and comfort, the shower area was a major disappointment. Instead of a modern shower enclosure, it had an old setup with a curtain which was far from hygienic. As someone who values cleanliness, this was a significant downside for me. A more modern and hygienic bathroom arrangement is definitely needed.

Good spot for a quick stay in Zurich!
Large and spacious room and located very close to Zürich main station. Despite proximity to a busy area, it's quiet and peaceful. Staff at reception are very welcoming.
Bed was overall comfortable except the pillows were way too soft and provided no head or neck support. Rather dim lighting in room even with all lights turned on.

Great hospitality and great location.
We booked a junior suite for three persons and a double room for two persons. The junior suite was comfortable and came with a kitchenette which was useful. On New Year’s Eve, the staff wrote a personal note for each of the rooms together with some chocolates. It was a nice touch by the staff.
The pillows were too soft. But you can request for hard ones from the housekeeper.
