I had Second floor room, which was meant to be with a city view. It did not. Very clean good service. The room I was in was dark, in need of brightening up and refresh. Very 1990s.

This was such a cute boutique hotel. The rooftop terrace was amazing; a wonderful place to relax after a long travel day. Lovely, comfortable room and bed. Excellent location for walking around the shops snd enjoying the old part of town. There were so many restaurants close by to choose from and the attached coffee/bar was perfect for a night cap. Breakfast was full of delicious meats, cheese, pastry and even an egg maker. Great night at this hotel, highly recommended.

Great location to explore Zurich by foot and also close to trains or buses. Plenty of walkable places to eat or drink. Quiet hotel. Nothing fancy and maybe overpriced for what it is but the location is what does it.

Nice small and, by Swiss standards, affordable hotel. Had nice “garret” room on 5th floor. Elevator available. Big enough and cozy. Makes you feel you are in Europe. Convenient location in older part of town near river, lake, many restaurants and Bahnhofstrasse shopping (if you dare!). Excellent for short stay.

The hotel is in a great location to see the Zurich old town and walk around for the day. The staff was all excellent and very friendly and welcoming. The room are on the small side and feel more like a college dorm room rather than a hotel room, but for just one day it was fine for us.

Everything was as expected except one thing. The staff cleaning next door rooms at 8-9am was ridiculous. The walls are really thin and you can hear almost everything happening outside your room. I am a deep sleeper and even I got woken up multiple times due to crying babies next door or the slamming of doors, carts, and vacuums outside of our room. I couldn’t get the rest I expected and wanted.
