10/10 Excellent

We liked everything about the property, the staff, and the surrounding area. It's in a great location. The hotel is in excellent condition and spotless. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Definitely had a great stay and would certainly book it again when in Zurich.
Anthony, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We loved the hotel and location. This hotel is in Old Town Zürich by lots of restaurants and shopping. The staff is extremely friendly and the hotel is clean.
Gregory, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The hotel is quite basic but has everything that we needed during our short visit. The location is very ideal especially for doing a lot of day trips to other places.

8/10 Good

Nice hotell at good location

Nice hotell in good location, free minibar (Nice!). Well isolated concerning sound (quiet). Ok breakfast. Only bad thing was aircondition which even at highest setting made the room temperature ok (was 20 degrees outside).
Mikael, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Nice boutique hotel located between Soho and Covent Garden areas. Spacious rooms, clean and friendly and helpful staff.
Pablo, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very impressed with this hotel. We booked a twin room and arrived around midnight to a friendly and efficient welcome. The room was a good size and the complementary first stocking of the mini-bar was a pleasant surprise. There's also a hot drinks machine in reception that's available for use. Lots of towels, comfortable bed and a good shower, though I cut my leg on the sharp corners of the beds - so beware of those! Breakfast was complementary and offered a good, well-stocked selection of all the usual items. Overall, much better than a standard 3* hotel and I'd return again.
Harry, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

The hotel is located in the old town section of Zurich, surrounded by restaurants and shops. If you have a car then you need to reserve a space ahead of time, for a fee, if spot is available. Otherwise, you have to locate a parking lot, for a fee.

Eliot, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great hotel right in the heart of Zurich. We were spoilt with restaurant options as well as an easy walk to the train station.
Daniel, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

Average property but not worth the price. Shower head didn’t work majority of the time, air conditioning doesn’t blow any cool air, and the beds are as hard as a rock. The only redeeming quality is the location. Will not be staying at this location again with the many other options in the same area.
Robert, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great location. Quite quiet despite the central location.
Jonathan, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

The hotel is centrally located in a very walkable area with shopping & dining options. Central train station nearby. It is a basic hotel. It was clean & safe. Air conditioning was not working during our visit in March which is fine if you open the windows. The issue is that the noise from the bars, restaurants & cars won't let you sleep with the windows open. Breakfast was basic & satisfactory. I found it pricey for what it was, but everything is Zurich is expensive. Overall, clean, central, convient hotel.
Claudia, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We felt this hotel was a very good value compared to others in the area. The room was comfortable and the breakfast was included.
