Good budget hotel.
It is a good budget friendly hotel in a great location near the Zurich HB, shops and restaurants. The bed was ok. The shower was the smallest i have ever used. I am 5'9" , 175# and it was really tight. If i dropped the soap i couldn't pick it up, there was simply no room. I don't know if i was the lucky one or if the other rooms also have tiny showers.

Verified traveler

Disliked: Amenities
No parking, no lobby, narrow check in desk with 8 people waiting. Paid for a superior room and we had an attic. Could not fully stand on one side of the bed otherwise you hit your head on the low ceiling. Beam for the attic across bed and desk area. Hit head. Do not understand how you can call this a "superior" room and charge an extra fee.

Hotel is fine, not great, not bad. Nice and close to the main train station, used it as a last stop before leaving Switzerland. Wouldn't be returning but also didn't feel like it was horrible.

A little bit of a walk from the train station, and not quite in the center but it was still convenient for those who are able to walk. The concept of the hotel is pretty cool with their chocolate fountain in the front. The male receptionist was not so friendly or helpful but the girl, think her name was Meeri or something like that, was extremely nice, patient and helpful. The hotel was in pretty good condition, the room was small but comfortable.

This hotel does not have air conditioning. It has a cooling system that barely kept the room cool. We came in the summer and it was unbearable at night. On top of this two of the four rooms we reserved the cooling system did not work at all. The lobby and rooms were tiny with barely any space. Only good thing was the location. Very close to restaurants and metro.

If you’re on a budget, this is great. Its super tiny but it had the comforts of coffee/tea and fridge in room which I find are essential. The location is 👌 great. I would definitely come back.

We were disappointed at the amenities and quality of the room we received for the price we paid. The room was extremely small and very poorly designed. We were interrupted by housekeeping mid-morning where they knocked once and then entered without being granted entry/waiting to hear whether someone was in.
