Positives: - Helpful staff. - Very nice view over Zurich. - Comfy and modern room. Negatives: - cold concrete floor in the room. - breakfast was very limited compared to its price, would have expected more variety in terms of cheese, bread, fried eggs (not just scambled eggs), other options like waffles/pancakes etc.

The hotel's design is nice and modern. Rooms are very clean. But the rooms are far from comfortable to stay in. There is no air conditioning in this very modern hotel. Also, there are hardly any electrical sockets in the room, and the ones that there are are in odd places, making it hard to charge and work with laptops.

A nice-to-average hotel with a pleasant, modern style and overall clean facilities. The location is convenient for those working in the Schlieren area, while also offering easy access to the city via public transport. The fitness-room is a definite plus and well maintained. However, the breakfast selection and quality were below average and could be improved. Overall, a decent stay with some strong points, particularly for business travelers in the area.

Lovely, knowledgeable staff at the front desk and a nice quiet location within walking distance of the tram. The bedroom was clean and tidy with modern facilities. The bed frame could have been a bit sturdier as it moved around slightly, but the movable tray attached to the bed was really useful. I actually booked the hotel after seeing it recommended on social media, and overall I had a good stay.

Hotel was nice and mostly well maintained (except some stains in the bathroom). From the hotel position it's easy to reach the center with a direct tram. Not much space for free parking near the hotel unfortunately and you end up to pay a lot daily just for the parking fee. Nice view from the high rooms, even if it's in an office/industrial area.

What a gorgeous hotel. Everything is so modern and clean. The only drawback was location. It really wasn't close to walking things- but if you are taking public transportation it would be fine. But hard to "pop out" and grab some dinner or ice cream- it would take a longer committment.
