"After traveling in Switzerland for 14 days, I opt for a hotel that was near the train station. A 5 minute walk with suitcase was what made me book this hotel and what a relief that was. With four persons in my party and four suitcases it was difficult to book an Uber, so I’m so glad that this hotel was nearby. I would definitely book here if I am staying in Zürich again."
