Pros:

Very nice and boutique hotel where you feel welcome, not least because of the wonderful staff. The room was spacious and clean and had everything we needed in terms of amenities. The breakfast buffet was simply excellent and very fresh!

Cons:

It was a hot time to be in Zurich and I had expected the room to be equipped with an A/C unit. The hotel did offer a fan which helped a bit.

Pros:

小而美公寓酒店，精美舒适。员工友善热情，入住提供水和冰淇淋，在炎热的夏季显得非常贴心，大堂还有免费的苹果可以自取。有一个Guest Kitchen方便自行加热食物。在市区闹中取静，公交出行方便，走路去湖边也近（只是夏天走路很热）。

Cons:

早餐西瓜不甜（香蕉很好吃）

1 Übernachtung in Zürich
Pros:

Die Lage des Hotels in der Nähe des Zürichsee hat uns sehr gefallen.
Wir wurden beim Checkin freundlich empfangen. Es gibt für Hotelgäste kostenlose Eiscreme in der Lobby.
Getränke gibts auf Vertrauensbasis im Kühlschrank in der Lobby.
Die Betten sind sehr bequem. Die Zimmer sind geräumig.
Frühstück war bei unserer Buchung enthalten. Das Frühstück war vegetarisch, es gab dennoch genügend Abwechslung und Auswahl.

Cons:

Die Parkmöglichkeiten in der Nähe sind schwierig. Wir hatten keinen Parkplatz reserviert und haben dann in einem Parkhaus Feldegg geparkt. Das Waschbecken im Badezimmer war etwas klein.

Pros:

The area is very quiet, you can really have a restful night after a long and tiring day. The hotel is very clean and our room has a lot of space. Staff are all nice and friendly. I highly recommend it. The view is spectacular especially Zurich lake.

Cons:

It's quite far from city centre. Breakfast is quite poor too.

Excellent location in a beautiful neighborhood, definitely I would book that again for my next stay.
Pros:

Top location, public transport, shops, restaurants, bars, lakeside... everythin is in walking distance.
Nice balcony and very beautiful rooftop.

Cons:

There were public (?) yoga lessons on the rooftop which I would have liked to join, but did not know about it. Also the Spa facilities and offers could have been promoted a bit better so that the guest could take advantage of these.

Toll gelegen. Aber die Zielgruppe und die Baustelle sollten offen kommuniziert werden
Pros:

Lage großartig

Cons:

Neben einer Baustelle, was nicht erwähnt ist. Keine Ruhe von 07.00-18.00

Eher „männerunfreundlich“. Es gibt nur ein Spa / Wellness für Frauen. Wäre ja kein Problem. Aber auch das ist nicht vermerkt. Man zahlt aber trotzdem den vollen Preis.
