The bed was very comfortable and the bedding inviting, but the Staff was amazing! My husband was in a lot of pain from a hip injury and we needed ice at 1 AM for an ice pack. The night staff was so incredibly graceful in finding some. Thank you - this is what makes for repeat customers!
The hotel is conveniently located within easy walking distance of the central station with several excellent dining options within walking distance.
The breakfast was excellent.

The room was clean and a great size for one to two people. A great location and very easy to get to from the train station. Highly recommend for solo travelers!
The room was very nice for our needs, and the location is so close to the Hauptbahnhof and city center. The room was clean, and the staff is very friendly and helpful.
Great little hotel near the train station. Staff was great, has a wonderful restaurant on site, easy access to the heart of Zurich. Would definitely stay at this location again.
Very clean, comfy bed and good shower. Maybe a kettle with the option to make tea/coffee in the room would be nice. Very friendly and helpful check in staff.
The staff was courteous and made check in process easy. The location was near train station making it perfect for day trips to nearby cities. Supermarket close for quick meals or necessities.
Great location and accommodating staff! Arrived early simply to try and drop a bag and they checked me in. It was much appreciated. Great options within walkable distance.
This hotel in Zurich is perfectly located, making it an ideal choice for both sightseeing and convenience. It’s right near the light rails and trains, which makes getting around the city incredibly easy. Within a short, easy eight-minute walk, you’ll find a variety of shops and food options, and the surrounding area is filled with restaurants and stores as well. Everything you need is truly right at your doorstep, making this a perfect location.
The hotel itself was very clean and comfortable. The rooms were well maintained, and the overall atmosphere made for a relaxing and pleasant stay. A nice added bonus is that the hotel even has a room where you can store your luggages after checkout. While the room is not monitored, we left our belongings there for a couple of hours and returned to find everything exactly as we left it, which was very reassuring.
The hotel is located in a great location near the train station and bus/tram stops. For the price in Zurich, it's worth it; a little outdated but if using it just for resting you can't go wrong.
