Zauberhaftes Hotel mit einer super Lage
Pros:

Die Lage, das freundliche Personal und das gemütliche Bett. Auch bei 30 Grad war der große Deckenventilator ausreichend. In der Gasse war es auch nachmittags angenehm. Die kleine Bar im Hotel war ebenfalls total gemütlich.

Cons:

Im Hotel war alles super und ich werde hier immer wieder buchen da gab es für mich nichts negatives.
Aber in der Nähe ist eine riesige Baustelle und wer sehr lärmempfindlich ist wird das vermutlich stören. Die Arbeiten begannen vor 7 Uhr (Mo-Sa). Mich störte es nur wenig, da ich ohnehin früh aufstehe

Pros:

Location. The concierge from Venezuela was stellar. Small digs but you expect that in the central city in Europe. BIG ISSUE: no air conditioning and Zurich was broiling. I didn’t think it would be an issue. I was wrong. I would stay again at another time of year but not in summer.

Lovely stay & great staff!
Pros:

The hotel was in a perfect location and the staff were extremely friendly. Rooms were very very clean & comfortable albeit a little small. We enjoyed our stay and visit in Zurich. Unfortunately it was during a heat wave and no AC was the only issue. A very pleasant stay otherwise! Location is awesome and close to bus stop and easy to get to train station!!

Por ese precio o algo más, eligiría otro hotel
Pros:

La ubicación y el recepcionista muy amable y simpático. Baño bien.

Cons:

Habitación muy pequeña, cama muy alta, muebles muy viejos e incómodos, todo el hotel es muy estrecho, como que falta espacio y la habitaci´n, por ese precio, me disgustó bastante .
