Location is literally perfect, room was second floor with zero noise from streets, spotless and absolutely luxurious. The vip access included a bottle of prosecco and the lobby staff was incredibly nice. During this trip i visited 4 countries in EU and this hotel was hands down the best. I will be going back.

Budget stay in Zurich

Room was clean and view was good. Tiny space! Shower water temp fluctuating between scalding and freezing the whole time. No real AC, just a room unit requiring you to leave the windows open. Pillows were tiny too. Shower wouldn’t drain. All in all it was clean and safe with good wifi and a convenient location. Glad it was only one night.

Chambre très très petite, chaleur épouvantable. Pour la climatisation, on devait placer un tuyau dans la fenêtre et l’attacher afin qu’il ne tombe pas. Hôtel situé dans un endroit très passant et bruyant. Nous avons changé d’hôtel après une nuit. Les photos ne représentent pas le lieu.
