Guest Reviews
- Julie (8/5): -
- Nasos (8/5): Good stay overall in a very central location ! - Very central hotel , all the city is around you , very kind and friendly staff , very silent room even you stay in the city center It was a bit overpriced , the rooms are very small but if you walking all the day around is not big issue , breakfast decent
- Ming (8/5): Overall decent stay - value for money not bad - Centrally located. Good breakfast. Bed is a bit hard - but depending on person some may like it. We had a room on first floor facing the street - which can be noisy at night. Hotels gave us earplugs - it worked OK.
- Royette (10/5): -
- Luciana (7/5): -
- Pint’s (9/5): Estadia muito agradável. Superou as minhas expectativas. - Excellente localização, no coração da cidade. Pequeno almoço variado. Chá e café à descrição ao longo da estadia. Funcionários extremamente simpáticos. Ótima limpeza. A sala de pequenos almoços relativamente pequena.
- AYTÜL (8/5): - Tesis çok merkezi konumda. Odaları oldukça temiz rahat. Personel çok ilgili ve güleryüzlü. Lobi imkanı yok gibi
- Donald (8/5): Room was a bit cramped for 3 and third bed was not very comfortable. Staff was excellent. - Breakfast was very good. Fresher eggs.
- Mary (7/5): - Great location right on a major street in old town, so it’s pleasant and fun, yet does well to keep the noise out. Good breakfast. But it was served on the second floor in a room among the guest room, so we were woken up by guests going to breakfast. Uncomfortably hot, but didn’t want to sleep with window open that let in odorsof the restaurant. Elbow. Given a set of two pillows, and both were not comfortable.
- Garri (10/5): -
- Jean-Claude (6/5): Hôtel très central mais dans une rue animée et bruyante surtout la nuit - Très bon accueil. Hôtel situé au centre de la vieille ville. A deux pas d'un arrêt du tram et de la Limmat. Chambre lumineuse. Bon petit déjeuner. Très bruyant comme la chambre donne sur une rue piétonne avec de nombreux bars et restaurants. Contrairement aux promesses, la chambre n'est pas insonorisée. Couloirs étroits, on entend beaucoup le va-et-vient des autres clients et les claquements de portes.

- annette (10/5): Clean, comfortable, welcoming location to enjoy your time in Zurich. - Great location. Easy walking distance from the train station.
Friendly and helpful staff. The room had everything we needed, and was really quiet, which we didn’t expect considering the location in the old town.
We were able to get early access to our room which was immensely appreciated after a long flight from Sydney.
Breakfast had everything we needed. Loved their Bircher muesli and fresh fruit to start the day.
Highly recommend this as a place to stay for you visit in Zurich.

- CARLOS (9/5): -
- Sarah (9/5): - Great location, good value, very clean. The hallways could do with an upgrade, the room didn’t look as nice as the images but it was very clean.
- lurss (8/5): - El desayuno muy correcto, la ubicación muy bien, el personal muy correcto. Te guardan las maletas hasta coger el vuelo de retorno. El comedor un poco pequeño. Todo lo demás muy bien

- bonhomme (10/5): - Tout était parfait merci beaucoup!
- Morita (9/5): Buena relación precio calidad! - el desyuno es correcto. María muy amorosa y la gente de recepción también. La habitación es chica pero cómoda y en perfectas condiciones. Mi habitación No tenía ducha sino un duchador sin soporte en la pared. Lavarse el pelo es muy difícil.
- Vijayavasanth (7/5): -
- Jose Luis (9/5): Nice, cozy hotel - Staff was super friendly and helpful. Was able to get my room a little earlier than check in time. Right in the center of downtown and a few minutes walk from tram and main Zurich train station.

- Norberto (9/5): -
- Farzana (8/5): Great location and friendly staff - The location was great. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The WiFi hotspot was very helpful The room was basic but it was clean. The breakfast room was really small so on one occasion it was full and we had to come back later
- Mateo (7/5): Great location. Basic but clean hotel. - Location is perfect. Rooms are basic but clean. Breakfast room is small and has limited capacity. Often no seats available. Hotel has no seating in the front (outside) for guest. Although, there are 2 restaurants there is no designated seating area for hotel guest.
- Lília (10/5): VISITA A ZURIQUE ANIMADA - PEQUENO ALMOÇO FARTO, MAS POUCO VARIADO, MIMI-BAR INCLUÍDO E HOTEL COM LOCALIZAÇÃO PRIVILIGIADA TUDO ESTAVA PERFEITO
- Jens (10/5): - Bra läge och ändå väldigt lugnt. Var lite rädda för att barer och restauranger runtomkring skulle riskera att vara störande, men blev positivt överraskade.

- Vitor (10/5): - Excellent value for money. Well located, clean, attentive staff, and a great breakfast. They offer free coffee and free drinks in the minibar (beer, water, and Coke 😁). I loved it and absolutely recommend it! Check-out is at 11:00, which is a bit too early. However, it seems to be the standard time for Switzerland.

- Jonathan (7/5): - Ubicación Todo bien
- Dominique (10/5): - Tout
- Esin (7/5): - Very well located hotel in the heart of the old town, within walking distance to everything.
The room was quite small, but it had everything needed for a short stay and was comfortable overall.
We had mentioned that we were celebrating a special occasion, and while the hotel acknowledged it kindly, they offered a paid package rather than a small gesture, which felt a bit commercial.
Overall, a convenient and pleasant option for a short stay in Zurich.
- PARNIAN (5/5): I won’t come back. - Location was convenient. It’s not a hotel that you pamper yourself or someone during a pleasure travel. It would be ok for working travel.
- Ines (8/5): Kleines, feines Hotel - Sehr freundliches Personal, tolle Lage, kleine Aufmerksamkeiten Das Frühstück war etwas spartanisch, das Auffüllen war der Nachfrage nicht angepasst
- luis miguel (8/5): -
- Shakil (10/5): - The location is excellent—just a 12-minute walk from Zurich Central Station. There are plenty of restaurants and cafés nearby, offering a wide range of dining options.
- Alexis (10/5): - La ubicacion, cerca de todo lo que hay que ver en zurich. Me facilitaron un HOTSPOT sin costo y tenía Internet en cualquier lugar de Suiza, no necesite comprar SIM. Habitación moderna. Nada.
- Olesya (10/5): Very good experience! - Location, service
- Heiko (8/5): - Nettes Personal und toller Service bei der Einweisung in die Parkliftgarage.
Gefüllte Minibar als Gratisbeigabe. Baustelle direkt unter dem Zimmer. Eine Info darüber fand im Vorfeld leider nicht statt.
- Valeriia (10/5): Vielen Dank für alles - Alles war wunderbar. Sehr lecker Frühstücken.
- Stergiana Papadimitriou (3/5): -
- Antonio (9/5): -
- Grace (5/5): - Location Small room. Few amenities. Average breakfast. Not super nice.
- Sukumaran (9/5): We had an amazing stay at this hotel. - The front line staffs are very friendly and helpful especially Mr. Magic Mark/Mike! Hotel parking was not available. we park at one of the shopping center which is 7 minutes walk to the hotel.
