In terms of location, staff, and breakfast buffet, this place is absolutely excellent. It was so close to train stations and the main street along one side of the river and I really was blown away by all the options and tasty treats they had for breakfast. My only negative remark was for cleanliness. By no means was our room “dirty,” but I wondered if they had tidied up much before our stay since we found two bottle caps on the floor and a spider on our pillow. The bathroom had great temperature and water pressure, but there was a small gap between the door that allowed for abit of water on the floor. That being said, I think all the positive aspects of the hotel make me inclined to stay again.

Good location

I would put this on the level of a Holiday Inn express. The breakfast was a little better than that, but no where close to the breakfasts we had in France. It is located at the end of Niederdorfer St. So if you want to be close to the old town and in the bar and bistro district, the location is superb. There is no parking and you have to park across the river at a rate of about $50 a day. And water costs $9 per pint if you buy it at the hotel.

It is a smaller hotel but very convenient location. Very close to the old town, Coop supermarket, Zurich train station. The front desk people were very nice and helpful. The only complain I have is that the bathroom smell a little weird. It’s not that it is dirty, just not fresh.

The hotel is in a good location. We were avle to walk everywhere we wanted. The roo. Is very small which is ok, I didn't like the frosted glass wall to the bathroom, doesn't offer much privacy. The worst was the a/c, doesn't cool at all. Windows barely open. Was too hot and uncomfortable at night for sleeping.

I wish I could give this place 0 stars. We had a fan in our room, and the staff came in and took the fan out while we were looking around the city, which is completely out of line. The place was gross, and the staff made me feel unsafe by coming into our room and removing our belongs after we had already checked in. I don’t recommend anyone to stay here.

The room was not what we requested. The staff claimed we asked for two children under 2 so they gave us a room with portable cots. When booking through Expedia I put the kids ages 7, 9 in so there was something off in the reservation process…. They removed the cots and gave us 1 mattress. Far from ideal but best they could do apparently. Rest of stay was good. Breakfast included was very convenient for us.

I think I got bed bug bites from this hotel. When I was packing up to leave I noticed a brown stain on the sheet. Could have been blood or chocolate. I didn't think much of it at the time. But according to online resources "early sign of bed bugs are bloodstains on your sheets". This paired with bites appearing on my arms and legs doesn't feel like a coincidence.
