The room was small, but functional. The best part of the property was the location. In the heart of Zurich’s old town, very near the train and bus stations and very very walkable to everywhere.

The room has nice size and very clean. Overall we got quiet nights but occasionally we had noises, probably drugging chairs, from either neighbor room or upper room. Other than that, we had comfortable stay.

8/10 Very good

The location and rooms of this hotel are great! While Zürich is very expensive, we were pleased with the setup of the junior suite (could separate bed into two rooms) and it was a terrific location, close to train station, old town, and many sites. Everything was very walkable! Down side was the cost of a less than average hotel breakfast and the food options in the hotel. Thankfully, we could easily do without eating there. Outside drinks setup was nice, though!

Great location and nice modern hotel. Only possible drawback is that it is right next to a main tram/bus terminus and they sure do make a noise.

The staff were gracious enough to upgrade me to a room with a balcony - which made the stay all so memorable. The location is perfect - 5min walk from the train station, near Old Town and the main city centre. The room may be a little small but suited me as a solo traveller.

Very convenient and centrally located by the train station. Reasonable price given the prices of hotels in Zurich. Staff was very helpful. Room OK, not luxury. Overall happy to have stayed here.
