Loved this hotel, and I’m pretty particular. The location was amazing. Walk out to the side street with all the restaurants and shopping, tram was right there and train station was an easy walk, grocery store super close. Staff was very friendly, kept our room clean and tidy everyday. Breakfast was simple but nicely done. I would definitely stay here again!

Incredibly close to the Zurich HB train station, so getting in from the Zurich airport was so easy. We had our luggage held while we walked through old town and found something to eat. Housekeeping staff was phenomenal and we were able to check in a little earlier and got to grab a couple of hours of sleep before we ventured out again!! We would definitely stay here again.

The staff was friendly. Check-in was easy. The location was great! Ten minute walk from central train station. The room was clean and quirky, like the hotel. The room itself was not well lit and the pillows were flat. Because we were there in December we didn't have to worry about the a/c.but it was still warm

It was a reasonably priced, clean hotel in a very convenient location. Some reviews mentioned the air conditioning didn’t work well but it was definitely cool enough in our room and the weather was very warm during our stay. The rooms were pretty small though like a lot of European hotels.
