10/10 Excellent
"The room was lovely and the property was immaculate. It’s located right in the center of Old Town so it’s close to everything. So many shops and great restaurants right outside the doors. It very close to the train station and to Lake Zurich. The only downside is that it is very loud. Lots of street noise and church bells. We are sound sleepers so did not have an issue but we did have to sleep with the windows closed."

"The hotel was excellent. The location was perfect, close to the railway station and within easy walking distance of both the old town and the main shopping area. I arrived early and was given my room straight away, as it was ready, which was brilliant as I’d expected to have to store my luggage. My room was spacious, clean and quiet. The breakfast was brilliant a variety of food on offer and plenty of seating. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed my stay and have already booked to return."
