We dined at the restaurant each night and staff were great. Good food and entertainment. We couldn't turn the heat down in the room and need to request a fan for the night. The Internet speed was terrible and if you needed to work, there was consistent dropping out and minimal connection. After talking with reception, I had to work from Starbucks across the road. Bed was comfortable, room was clean.

This hotel is closed everything to Old Town Zurich and 2 super market and lots of restaurant. You can walk about 5 minutes from train station. The hotel has 2 restaurants, Our experience with Kings Cave restaurant is great, the manager is sweet and Mr. Jovo is the best. I recommend every one travel to Zurich try Kingscave restaurant.

Awesome customer service
When we checked in Pia represented the hotel. She was very personable, efficient and professional. There is no a/c so she provided a fan. It rained two of the days and the hotel provided umbrellas. We went green so when we requested more coffee pods Pia was there with a sack full!! We had a small issue in the restaurant with the bill but the General Manager took care of it professionally and swiftly. Highly recommend this hotel. Rooms clean, comfy and opening the window cooled the room sufficiently but a little noisy on the river view. Well worth the noise!!!

First off I’m giving 4 stars but only because of staff. The location is excellent and so convenient and would definitely stay again. It was clean and I also like how comfortable the bed and pillows were. Th reason for just 4 stars is because we arrived at the hotel around 2 pm and I told the girl nicely, “we’re just a bit early but wondering if we could check in”. She replied very flatly and not welcoming at all “well first we need to check if you even have a reservation”, walked away told another girl to check us in. Very rude and unkind. Anywho the girl that ended up checking us in was nice but didn’t really offer additional details on the hotel like what time was breakfast etc. oh well, maybe that’s how it’s done there. Also, there was a girl a breakfast, didn’t catch her name, but she was wonderful and very welcoming. She had short hair, kinda like a bob if I recall. Overall great stay.

Easy, relaxing stay . We are family of 4 adults - mum, dad and sons 21& 19 . We landed and got the train straight there . Coop across the road great for grabbing a breakfast, lunch , drinks etc . The hotel has a mini bar / fridge to store your own food . Only stayed / nights . We used the hotel as a base - great location to walk out transport links . We did not eat in the hotel but we did go to local restaurants very close by in a vibrant busy part of town . There was a street festival going on as it was August, lovely buzz atmosphere. The beds were very comfortable and the pillows were very nice quality. We did have a river view room but the slats obscured the window slightly in the window was very small so didn’t really get the benefit of being able to sit and look out the window. This didn’t really hinder our enjoyment but just worth pointing out if you’re expecting something different. In terms of things to do . We got the boat as a self tour to lint factory. We stayed in the area and went to a beach club . It was less crowded and lower price than central Zurich . We would consider staying here again if we stayed in Zürich. We found the price point the location and the convenience of this hotel to be ideal for what we were looking for.

The staff and location are perfect. The overall property could use an upgrade. The room I was in was small and the property has no AC. Only some sort of room air flow system that was useless in the August heat. A fan was provided upon request that did help a little. I would recommend an upgrade of the facilities and include the breakfast with all rooms, but keep the staff they were amazing
