Locatie buna si dimensiune buna pentru o persoana
Pros:

Locatia este buna. Camera este perfecta pentru popas atunci cand ziua mergi prin oras si o folosesti doar pentru dus si dormit.

Cons:

Aerul conditionat este zgomotos si cam ineficient. Pentru o persoana in zona biroului este ok. In pat nu se simte ca ar face vreo diferenta iar noaptea nu poti dormi din cauza zgomotului produs de acesta.

La dus, trebuie lasat prosopul de picioare pe post de dig impotriva apei pentru a evita ca aceasta sa nu ajunga in camera.

Friendly and affordable stay in a very central location
Pros:

Great location and very friendly staff.
Did not use any of the extra facilities or breakfast.
Room overall is clean and functional.
Parking is a 10-15min walk away in a garage that is open to the public (hotel has a slightly reduced fee)
Stayed during one of Europe's heatwaves this summer and there is no AC in the room - you can open a window.

Cons:

Room is starting to show signs of age. The bathroom particularly so, had some loose panelling and tiling for example.
The double bed is really two single mattresses (relatively common in Switzerland) which may be annoying for some.
On weekends there is a bit of noise out onto the street but this is to be expected give the very central location.

Pros:

Posizione molto comoda e centrale, se non si deve arrivare con l'auto. Staff molto cortese

Cons:

Colazione appena sufficiente.
Come molte strutture in Svizzera, manca l'aria condizionata in quasi tutte le stanze e ormai, con il riscaldamento globale in corso, non è più un elemento da sottovalutare durante l'estate

Short trip to Zürich
Pros:

I'm so glad our room had air conditioning during this Summer. Room was quiet and we could open the windows for fresh air. Beds were comfortable. Room was cleaned daily. Excellent location with access to the old town. Bar in the Lobby is a plus. You can sit outside and enjoy the atmosphere and watch people going by.

Cons:

Parking in all of Zürich is way over priced. Use Google maps to find the street for the hotel. It's easily missed if you aren't watching.

Good location, easy to get to from train station, also convenient for the Stadelhofen to the airport
Pros:

Paid extra for the breakfast just for the first day and it was excellent. Consists of pastries, quiche, cheeses and ham, boiled eggs, coffee and juices. Good value compared to the cost going out for breakfast.

Cons:

The room was comfortable, roomy and convenient. It had a ceiling fan and supplemental fan and was comfortable given the high temperatures at the time.
