Considering the price, it is OK for a few nights.
Pros:

The location of the hotel is excellent. It is in the city centre, a few minutes from the tourist attractions. The room was quiet, and the reception staff was great. I was on the top floor, so there was no noise from the street.

Cons:

The breakfast was fine, but it could be better. The biggest problem is that there is no air conditioning. There was a fan in my room, but during the summer, this is far from enough. I was on the top floor, like an attic, and the heat was unbearable. Also, the room is small, but I didn't mind it.

Great hotel to stay in, but if it’s hot weather and you don’t do well without Air conditioning, you may not want to stay
Pros:

Great location, staff, cleanliness, breakfast!

Cons:

Room was very hot. They gave us 2 fans, but with record temps in Zurich, only way not to sweat in your room was to sit in front of a fan.

考量睡眠品質建議三思
Pros:

地點近火車總站，拖行李不累

早餐非常不錯，樣式多，補菜也快

Cons:

1.我住的601房在大馬路邊，車多吵鬧而且很曬，房間悶熱

2.沒有冷氣，提供的小風扇兩台效果不大，非常悶熱

3.沒冷氣又臨馬路，面臨開窗吵鬧，關窗悶熱的窘境，住宿睡眠品質不佳

Clean and safe affordable hotel for a good price
Pros:

The hotel was in a clean and safe location and very walkable to almost anywhere in Zurich. The front desk was friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean, though somewhat spartan. The value was good.

Cons:

The front desk is not manned overnight, which I knew, but that may not be for everyone. My room for very warm with the current weather and of course there is no air conditioning. However there was a fan which was nice. My room faced the main street and there was a bar directly across from the hotel that was open late and very loud. The hotel provided free ear plugs in the room so obviously they are aware of the issue. I would recommend booking a room NOT facing the main street.
