Great location, extremely nice staff, amazing coffee, comfortable room with adequate size. Can’t think of something that I didn’t like (except the big and heavy key chain they use for the room key)

We checked in late at night and checked out early so only slept there, bed was comfy, good shower. Air con was a portable AC machine with a hose out of the window. So unable to use at night, but was lovely and cool when we did use

Stay away from the Suite room on top floor as there is a roof deck where they throw private parties with noise past midnight. Not ideal for families!

Really cool hotel but the room we stayed in is minuscule with very limited space to walk around the bed, let alone put luggage out.

Perfectly clean. Excellent location, spacious attic suite and a beautiful restaurant/bar with outdoor seating overlooking a creek!

It’s a good property except of 1 thing for me which is the portable air conditioning as it was so loud. I was told that the built in ac isn’t working because the building is old. We had to turn that machine off before sleeping because of the noise. Positives - walking distance to old and central are including Zurich HB + Dining options around. People at the Reception was nice too.

We were on the top floor and the air conditioner did not work. Had to sleep in 80° plus room. They did give us a small portable unit that didn’t help. Pretty miserable experience.
