I loved this hotel! It was slightly out of the main tourist area so it was quieter but still accessible to transit and walkable to many places. There are many lovely touches such as the art and beautiful wallpaper. The breakfast is delicious. Highly recommend.
noisy, parties upstairs and downstairs, strange AC (portable with hose stuck in an open window !?!). 25 swiss franks for a continental breakfast that was basically coffee and a croissant.

Very good stay.
Hotel is very clean and comfortable, quiet and the staff are very friendly. It is also in a great location, with a close walk to the train/tour bus stations, old town and all of the shops and restaurants. Would stay again.

Excellent value hotel within easy walking distance of Zurich Train Station, the main shopping area and Old Town Sites. Our room was quiet, overlooked a canal and spacious enough for 2 smaller cases (though it lacked a case stand).

Overall good hotel. Our room didn't have AC, and it felt quite hot during the night. Low ceiling meant we have to be very careful walking around in the room.
Staff was very helpful. They have nice breakfast as well.
