We had a very clean, neat and tidy room. Staff were very friendly, attentive and helpful. Breakfast was quite nice, and had most of what you could ask for. Our rooms were slightly on the small size, but still very reasonable. The hotel is well located, being walkable to all things in downtown Zurich. The street is pedestrianized, and gets quite busy. However, our rooms were perfectly quiet, and we didn’t hear any noise from below. Very well recommended.

Fantastic location just 5 mins from the main train station and on the same street as loads of great restaurants. Close to tram stops too. Reception staff were helpful and we were able to leave our bags as we arrived early and could also store them on the day we left. Family room was spacious and beds were really comfortable. Breakfast was varied and delicious. A great hotel to base yourself from if exploring Zurich

This is an excellent location in Zurich. This is old town, great restaurants and shopping. Sit along the water and enjoy watching the swans and a cocktail. Staff are great..breakfast is amazing...everything you would want. The only down..was no AC but they provided fans and opening the windows and it was fine. Slept very well. I would definitely stay here again.

Lovely centrally located traditionally built hotel. Rooms have everything you need - we only stayed one night on a stop over to Austria. Really helpful and welcoming staff - we arrived early to ask to leave our bags but were advised our room was ready so we were able to use it straightaway. Breakfast was a wider range than I was expecting which was a pleasant surprise and delicious too. I would recommend this hotel and it’s only about 10mins from main railway station.
