The hotel is in a great location, very near to the old town and to the buses and train station (five minutes by walk), to supermarket and restaurants. We had a beautiful and large room on the first floor of the secondary building. The interior was new, modern, clean and very comfortable. The breakfast was good and staff professional. Not... More

quiet. room opened to small courtyard; yes, could still hear tram, sirens - but slightly in distance, not under your nose. Even street-facing rooms, better than many hotels in Zurich, because slightly off main streets. Easy to get to center-town, staff very nice. spacious room, bathroom. heater for towels in bathroom great for drying small things (especially handy when luggage... More

We had a beautiful double room (413). This hotel surpasses all the others in this area of similar price. I've stayed in many hotels in this area and this was my preferred. The staff is very nice as well.

We (3 adults and a toddler) shared a business superior room with 3 beds (one double, one single and one travel cot) for two nights and were pleasantly surprised at the standard of the hotel. Although billed as a budget hotel the interior was modern, smart and spotless. The restaurant was good, the staff were always friendly and helpful, and... More

Considering how expensive Zurich is, this place is definitely a bargain. The accommodations were clean and comfortable, and the location, which is close to the train station and Old Town, is perfect. The staff were very hospitable and friendly, and were very accommodating with breakfast and check-out when I had to catch an early train in the morning. As someone... More

I made a booking for two nights and got a room with a queen size bed in the building next door. At the time of making the booking I requested a smoking room. Was told this was not available at checkin time. Too late to do anything about that after 8 pm when I arrived. The room had been sprayed... More

Dear Guest You reserved a room through a booking platform. Although in our hotel description it is mentioned clearly that our hotel is completely non-smoking, you were requesting a smoking room. When you checked in, our staff informed you again, that we DO NOT have any smoking rooms. You said that this is no problem for you. Unfortunately you ignored... More

Was very satisfied with my visit. The location is within 10-15 minutes of main train station, even with a roller suitcase. However, you do have to climb some steps and the location is not very well signposted. Tram, train, the Bahnhofstrasse and lake are close by. Once there I was very pleasantly welcomed, checked in and personally shown to my... More
