Great value for your money but a bit hard to get to / walk around from given the huge hill that it’s on, especially with luggage. So plan ahead for that part but otherwise we really enjoyed!

Uncomfortable beds

Very clean and looked nice. The bathroom was small but had a good layout and a great shower. The bed was very hard and not comfortable at all. For that reason we would not stay here again.

While the location was easily accessible by tram and central to Bellevue and main train station there was no housekeeping throughout my stay and the pillows were so uncomfortable (way too soft) Self check in was not available upon my arrival (after the promised check in time of 4pm)

Top Floor Stay

I had the top room in the building to myself, which I did not expect - it was a great-sized room with a large closet and bathroom. The suite was excellent. My only issue is that the top floor does not have access to the elevator, so it does require hauling suitcases up the stairs. That would be the only advanced notice I'd say would be helpful. Otherwise, the room and location was great and would choose again.

The hotel does not provide daily housekeeping and this wasnt state upfront..you only know it when you check their apps and it says "additional" cleaning cost CHF 30..very very bad handling, imagine staying for 3 nights without any cleaning or housekeeping with all your towels, bedsheet unchange or trash not thrown.

This was a self check in hotel so you would need to have mobile data and a charged phone all the time with you to get into your room and the hotel. It was so easy. The room was modern grand spacious. The heads were amazing as we overslept past our alarm to take our early train. I wish someone has told me to take the tram from the train stafion instead (buy ticket at the station) because we walked 15min. There are few set of stairs you need to walk up (fun when no luggage with you). Location was still fantastic as we wanted to walk to several areas. Will def return if back in Zurich.
