Great no frills place to stay. We had a family of 4 and stayed in a room that had a king bed and 2 twin beds. The room was very warm, cozy, clean and comfortable. The train is only 3 minute walk so it makes it very easy to get around Zürich without difficulty. You will need to buy your train tickets as the hotel stay does not include train passes like some hotels in Zurich. The room had a microwave and refrigerator. They also provided plates, cups and bowls. Read the information about the hotel when you arrive as there is a lot of great information. They also have a drop off laundry service that is only 12 CHF per load or you can pay to do laundry yourself. This is an amazing affordable service I wish I knew about earlier in our stay. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again.

I recommend this hotel.

The hotel was in a convenient area close to a tram line. It was clean and the staff were very nice. We were able to store our luggage on the day we arrived and the day we departed which was very convenient. It was not fancy but it provided everything we needed for our family to have a comfortable stay. I recommend this hotel.

Nice hotel

Hotel was ideal for one night. The room was quite small esp the bathroom. The area was quiet and public transport was close. There are a few restaurants in the vicinity. The breakfast was great and a variety of food to choose from.

Hotel was fine except for incredibly small bathroom. You can barely get in and out. Also, no A/C so you have to open window. The traffic was so loud, sleeping was sporadic

It is an excellent hotel at a reasonable rate. The room we stayed in was small but very functional and comfortable with a lovely balcony. The breakfast was delicious with many healthy options. We especially love the neighborhood - close to many attractions while being quiet and quality.

We enjoyed the cleanliness of the hotel and the AC Is a plus. The lady that assisted us for the buffet brunch was really nice and friendly. She helped us with our coffee and she went above and beyond in assisting us. I wish was able to get her name so I can thank her here. Anna on the front desk was also great. She is able to help us keep our luggages after check out so we can explore a bit more before leaving Zürich. Given the opportunity to come back and visit we will stay here again.
