Very cute room, tastefully decorated.
What I liked the most was the staff. Especially the receptionist who greeted us, and the lady who came to pick up my laundry were very helpful and lovely.
One only thing I didn’t like was that the wardrobe is one of those shelves style ones that do not have a door. So you can see the clothes you hang, and that makes the room look a bit messy and less classy.
It’s a minor detail and I still loved the hotel. I’d happily come back.

Very tasteful and classy, boutique type hotel. Great location to city center and the lake. Surprising what an upbeat, warm and interesting city Zurich turned out to be.
Would definitely recommend the hotel.
