I liked that it is close to Zurich Station. The staff are friendly and kind. The room was clean and equipped with all toiletries such as shampoo, shower gel, and soap."

A decent hotel stay

The hotel was well placed just outside the centre of Zurich. The room was good but the bathroom was a little on the small side. The room had good facilities. The breakfast was nice and a decent selection. There was also a few nice touches like having coffee and water available all day.
Richrd, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Nice stay in Zurich

Great area of Zürich to walk into the city. Small, but clean rooms. Good breakfast spread. It was very warm in the room, even though they provided a mobile fan.
Abby, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

nice , compact and good location

The rooms are small, but the staff is helpful and willing to solve problems. The hotel's location is excellent—right next to a tram and bus line, and just a short walking distance from Zurich's main train station. The breakfast is simple. There is no air conditioning in the rooms, and the fan doesn't always help.
alex, 3-night trip

Easy to get to from station. Clean. Comfortable beds. Good breakfast. Bathroom too small.

Ann-Elizabeth, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

That is a good hotel for a short stay in Zurich. One should keep in mind, that when you check-in in the night hours there's no front desk manager to open the entrance door so do not forget to request a code to enter the premises.
Aleksey, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Conveniently right off the bus stop and within the Old Town of Zurich, 10 mins to the main train station. The hotel is small and compact but very clean and includes all the amenities. I love the rubber ducky. The breakfast was included with our room. It provides variety of breakfast items. The waffle is delicious and different to American ones. The outside seats are perfect to enjoy the morning meal.
Cynthia, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice European hotel steps from local rail and within walking distance to Old Town area of Zurich. Don’t expect a large US type room. Rooms and bathrooms are small, and they serve a traditional European breakfast- no bacon and eggs here. For the money, it’s a good hotel. If you’re looking for a larger brand, you’ll pay considerably more. I’d stay here again
Michael, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not very clean, clogged sink, they didn’t service our room, terrible pillows. Lady at reception was nice but said she’d get maintenance to fix the clogged sink and didn’t, so not very effective. Breakfast was good.
rebekah, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room was hot at night, fan supplied was too noisy to run
Russell, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

no hot water, no tv, noone to talk to about it

The hotel doesn't have anyone on call in the evenings. Water were lukewarm, and TV didn't work, but there was no one to talk to about it.
Erez, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel was nice, but we got there after 6:00pm and the check in process was terrible. After I spent 30 minutes filling out a form on the computer, it failed. There was a phone next to the laptop with a HELPLINE, so someone did pick up and help me, but it was a pain after travelling all day. Other guests were telling me "good luck with that". The room was clean and the breakfast was okay and free with the room charge.
Lisa, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We loved how quiet the hotel and surrounding streets are. The beds were very comfortable. And, the area was conveniently located. The staff was mixed. Cristina was great, making good dinner recommendations, and affording an early check-in. Another staff member, said, at 6:30 in the morning, that “she wasn’t here yet”(?) And, when I asked her to send a postcard back to the US, with their next mail, she seemed very put out. So, I asked for it back, and sent it myself. Not a friendly face, first thing in the morning, and terrible last impression. But, overall, we liked the hotel.
Lisa, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Lack of staff

There was a lack of staff after 5pm, ie no staff at all, so when we arrived at 11:30pm we could not even gt in, let alone check in. Luckily someone let us in and we contacted the staff by a helpline.
Rachael, 5-night trip

4/10 Fair

Quente e caro.

O que salvou a estadia foi a atendente Gema. Hotel sem recepção, sem ar condicionado, caro, porém com boa localização. Dá pra fazer toda a região do lago Zurich a pé. O café também é bom, mas viemos no verão e é inaceitável uma diária tão cara para um lugar que não tem um ar-condicionado!

A pleasant stay

It’s a nice little boutique hotel in a good neighborhood. Easy transportation right outside makes it easy to access. The hotel itself is what you would expect from a 3-star accommodation. The room was nice and tidy, although the tv didn’t work or could not be started (there was no manual to be found). The breakfast was a little too cheap I think, beside yoghurt there wasn’t much to choose from. No bacon or sausages for the scrambled eggs, no ham or similar to the toast etc.
