Clean room in a convenient location. I would recommend staying here. I didn't love that the climate control was locked and we needed to leave the window opened, but that was minor.

Very convenient location. Nice coffee machine inside the room. If you could let me know that there is a European power socket located underneath the coffee table, I would not walk all the way to a local Interdiscount store to purchase one (Swiss to European power point adaptor).

Ideal location close to the main rail station. Also local to the bus station where we had some trips booked so location wise was perfect. For those that want peace and quiet this isn't the place because of being so close to the railway station which is in use nearly 24 hours a day. The room itself was clean, the bed was comfortable. The room was cleaned daily. We had no problems whatsoever

Very nice property, steps from central train station. Lovely cafe downstairs for breakfast. The only thing I did not appreciate was the self-check-in computer. Not even a hello from hotel staff? Was off-putting.

As others have said, the room is small. The only option to get into the bed is to crawl over the other person in the bed (if you are the person sleeping on the inside). And the pillows leave MUCH to be desired! The shower is nice and hot with good water pressure. And the toiletries smell wonderful. You will NOT meet a front desk person to check yourself in: only the bartender is available to help you should you have any troubles. The bartender was very nice!

Nice looking property. Easy 5 minute walk to train station and nearby a grocery store and several cafes. Biggest drawback was lack of air conditioning and train noise, but overall a good experience.

Property was convent to the train station, nice safe area. The check in process was strange and confusing but the room was ok. The AC didnt work so we had to sleep with the tiny window open. We end up not sleeping much due to all the noice from the train. It’s a trade off.

This hotel was perfect for an overnight in Zurich. It is a very easy and quick walk from the train. The area is safe, with a grocery store right across the street! We did not eat at the restaurant, but it was very nice looking. The room itself was very clean, comfortable bed, spacious. Large bathroom. Lovely to be able to open the windows and get fresh air. Check in is at a kiosk right inside the restaurant. The bartender is there to help if needed. But it went smooth. There is an elevator, which was great for luggage. Even though it is literally next to the train tracks, the windows were well insulated and the room was quiet. There is no air conditioning, so in the summer, I would guess it would be quite hot. But for us, it was perfect to be able to walk into old town Zurich and see the sights. Would definitely recommend!
