The location, if you are using the coach station for trips with Best of Switzerland or Grayline is excellent as it is just accross the road. Easy to walk to Zurich Old Town and the lake for boat trips, through the train staion and along Bahnhofstrasse. Clean hotel although a basic room it had everything I needed. Very comfortable.

This hotel is excellent. It’s very centrally located so you can easily walk to District 1 and the Old City. When we stayed here, I didn’t need to call a car or take public transport at all—very walkable. Rooms are spacious and clean with comfy beds and heavy down duvets. Bathrooms have heated towel racks.

The staff were so friendly and helpful, the breakfast buffet was fantastic, and we couldn’t have had a better location to access the train station, Christmas market, and Landesmuseum. The tran station was steps away as well. Beds were comfortable and blankets were so warm and cozy. Great stay!
