Great location to explore Zurich by foot and also close to trains or buses. Plenty of walkable places to eat or drink. Quiet hotel. Nothing fancy and maybe overpriced for what it is but the location is what does it.

Only stayed one night. Great location especially if you are in Zurich only for a short time, plenty of landmarks to see, food to eat, and shops to shop. Hotel itself is clean, service is great, excellent breakfast. I will stay there again if ever back in Zurich

Nice small and, by Swiss standards, affordable hotel. Had nice “garret” room on 5th floor. Elevator available. Big enough and cozy. Makes you feel you are in Europe. Convenient location in older part of town near river, lake, many restaurants and Bahnhofstrasse shopping (if you dare!). Excellent for short stay.

The hotel is in a great location to see the Zurich old town and walk around for the day. The staff was all excellent and very friendly and welcoming. The room are on the small side and feel more like a college dorm room rather than a hotel room, but for just one day it was fine for us.

Everything was as expected except one thing. The staff cleaning next door rooms at 8-9am was ridiculous. The walls are really thin and you can hear almost everything happening outside your room. I am a deep sleeper and even I got woken up multiple times due to crying babies next door or the slamming of doors, carts, and vacuums outside of our room. I couldn’t get the rest I expected and wanted.

Perfect location. Staff members Augi, Ilenia and Stephonia could not have been any more friendly and welcoming! Definitely made us feel that we were part of their family. We would return in a heart-beat. The rooms were nice, comfortable & charming. Five stars! Jeff & Zac (USA)
