Affordable and clean

It was a bit of a walk from the train station, but not too bad as long as it's not raining. Room was clean and decent. The breakfast was continental. Buy an electrical adapter as soon as possible. What we brought from the U.S. was not compatible. Buy your Swiss travel pass at the train station upon arrival or online.

Absolutely great location. No doubt. Walkable distance anywhere, city transportation around the corner. Noisy street. Windows seal the sound outside very well, but then there is no fresh air. Breakfasts could be richer and they did not vary during the stay. Staff refused to service any drinks without ordering a steak.... Next time it will be different place.

The staff was good. The hotel is in middle of Zurich old town which we already knew but what we didn’t know was we will have to smell weed whole night from the shops in the street. We couldn’t close the windows and switch on the ac because of small room and AC right above our heads. Breakfast was okay with not many options. It’s walkable to most places though

Just ok, worked for one night.

This was our final hotel after 8 days in Switzerland. When looking for the hotel you’re looking for a restaurant as the hotel doesn’t have a traditional lobby. It has an elevator up to the 4th floor and the room had AC. To say the bathroom is small is an understatement, check out the picture. The breakfast was just ok, and didn’t start until 7:30. The hotel is in a good location, and less than a 10 minute walk to the main train station.

Property is very conveniently located in the old town.. Staff is very nice and accommodating. Breakfast was included and it was very delicious. Expect a room in an old building, very simple but clean at a reasonable price. Suitable for short stays in my opinion. There are people walking around at night, making noise, but we were not bothered by it

We loved our stay in Zurich, the hotel is in a perfect spot and it is nice and clean and had AC. As well as a very nice and intimate breakfast. I accidentally left an ipad in the room and the staff was so accommodating, helping me get it mailed home. I appreciate it very much.

Nice place to stay in old town. Quite walkable from the trains. The place was clean and people were friendly. Cons: it’s really not a hotel, it’s Airbnb affiliated by the restaurant downstairs. There is no service desk
