A fantastic stay! Perfectly located within easy walking distance of both the old and new town, with tram and bus stops right outside. The bed and linens were the best l've ever experienced, and the super-soft, fluffy towels were a real treat. There's also a gorgeous bakery just opposite. The staff were wonderfully friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was delicious, plenty of choice and available from 0700-1000. Highly recommended!

Room modern and had everything we needed. Breakfast had a good selection of items, plus coffee very good! Location good, uphill but only a 20 minute walk from train station. Check in was complicated but once inside the hotel the staff on the phone (no one there in person) sorted it for us.

Friendly staff and very helpful. Full breakfast with a wide range of good food for all discerning travellers. Highly recommended. Easy walk down to old town and central station but if you have heavy luggage I advise to take a tram. If in the morning buy a Zürich day pass for transport and museums etc.

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.

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.

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.

This has been my worst hotel experience so far and I travelled a lot. I’m okay with self check-in, but this should be notified to customers ahead of the time, and states clearly on your website. The self-check-in process is as smooth as it can be, but the European keyboard is not user friendly for international travelers. It takes me quite a few minutes to find “@“ on the keyboard while I was extremely tired and stressed about if I can check in. The water fountain in the lobby has its tap broken. The WiFi is free to connect with no password, but there’s no signage anywhere to notify the customer of how to connect WiFi. When I get to the room, I was glad to see that there’s a water boiler. But guess what, there’s NO plug can fit in. This is rather a silly design. The charging plug issue goes same to the bed, where there’s no plug next to the bedhead, which is extremely inconvenient. No info on the mini bar. There are items in the fridge but no price info can be found anywhere. This is no air conditioner in the room. During my stay, the weather is fine. But I can’t imagine how to survive on a hot summer night. (There is heating system for the winter.) The room has a weird shape (which is ok) but has a mirror facing directly to the bed. This is bad Fengshui, and the reason is that you get startled when you see the mirror in the middle of the night. This is not a pleasant stay rather an escape room test. Overall, I like the concept of super
