Loved our stay at this delightful hotel in an older building in the heart of Zurich. The house restaurant is top-notch—though not a ton of kid friendly options, but it is simply not that type of restaurant. The staff was very helpful.

Beautiful older building located centrally near shops and a short walk from the old town. Soaps are locally sourced but a little bit watered down during our stays. Triple glazed windows help keep out the noise from the trams and city night life. Rooms were moderately clean but hotel staff could definitely do some more flood mopping.

The room was clean and the hotel was easily accessible from the train station. The staff was very, very helpful with a potentially late train arrival and they made sure we could access our rooms through self check in. Paid for breakfast and it was nice. We were there during the heat wave so it was very hot. The air conditioning did not get the room cool below 22c which felt hot as American travelers. Probably would be ok under normal circumstances but in this instance, that was the only note that could have been improved.

TV did not have You Tube AppInstalled UNLIKE all our other destinations in Europe. The establishment is a party venue/bar first, and a hotel SECOND. Rooms are located adjacent to busy street. Many nice walkable things to do close to establishment, but everything is EXPENSIVE. For example, a Starbucks venti cold brew is around 13 USD

Centrally located and close to main train station. I wish they had better pillows and had some luggage racks. We could hear foot steps from floor above (we were on third floor). Room was beautifully decorated with good vibes. We used the Nespresso machine near the front office since there was no tea kettle in the room.
