A nice and cozy hotel in the heart of Zurich's old town, clean and well-maintained. Front desk staff were friendly and very helpful. They offered discounted parking voucher for the public parking nearby as we had to park our rental there for a full day. We arrived amid an awful heatwave in July and the hotel's air conditioning was broken/not responding. That was a big disappointment and we heard all other guests were complaining, but we asked for a fan so we could sleep the one night we stayed at the hotel.

A/c wasnt working. Staff knew about it when we checked in. Never told us. When we asked to come fix it, did not believe it was not working. In the end, gave us one table fan to use. Did not offer discount until we asked. Hotel wasn't cheap 500 USD for a night. Hardly worth it.

We stayed in Zurich for a quick overnight trip, and this hotel checked all the boxes. It was clean, comfortable, and offered a seamless check-in experience. The location was ideal—right in the city center and within walking distance of everything we needed. It had a cozy, home-like feel, which made us feel at ease right away. While it doesn’t offer extensive amenities, it’s perfect if you’re just looking for a safe, quiet, and spotless place to sleep and store your belongings. If I were staying longer, I might explore other options with more features, but for a short stay, this was exactly what we needed. I would absolutely recommend it and would gladly return.
