Everything was neat and organized and it was nice to have a mini refrigertor in the room. Mia and the staff were fantastic and helpful with several issues. Room was a little tight for an extended stay. Very little room on sude of Queen Bed. The "Queen" bed was two beds put together but it worked with one fitted sheet tieing the beds together. Suggestions... Directions on heating use - also note somwhere that AC turned off for "winter" Lastly...more counter space in the bathroom

My 2-night stay at Hotel Felix was lovely. Service was top notch, I loved the breakfast and lobby/lounge space. I especially appreciated the serve yourself fresh water (with or without gas). I had a mini room and it was bigger than I thought. It was a perfect size for a single traveler. Yes, I had to crack the window for some fresh and cooler air but nothing too concerning in late Sep temps. I love the location too — walkable to so many places, Zurich HB, good places to eat, etc. I’d definitely stay here again!

Smaller rooms which are typical for Europe, but tidy and sufficient. Street below was loud with people coming home from the nearby bars on a Friday night. Parking is in nearby garage across the river for 25 euro/night. Otherwise convenient location with beautiful old town nearby walking distance.

Great, modern, good condition, clean, comfortable bed. Only issue is that there is no air conditioning in the room, this was manageable with opening window and using provided free standing fan. For some of possible hotter summer weeks this could become a problem.
