Funktional, aber alles ok. Für Zürich Preiswert und mitten in der Altstadt. Frühstück ok. In der Minibar hat es drei inkludierte Getränke.

Cons:

Sehr laut, vor allem am Wochenende. Der Kaffee war für Schweizer Verhältnisse schlecht.

Pros:

This hotel was absolutely perfect. The location was great, we walked everywhere and the street was so lovely. Also one thing I want to mention is that the design of the room is perfect. Personally I was traveling with my mom, who snores a lot, and having the beds on opposite sides like that was life changing for my sleep. All the hotels usually have them side by side. That is such a small thing but it makes a huge difference. Breakfast and the people were great too.

Great location, clean but outdated
Pros:

Great location

Cons:

They must have a very good photographer, from the photos the room we booked looked larger and modern but it was very small and the furniture was old. The worst of all was that the shower had a shower curtain and the drain didn’t work properly.

Komfortables Hotel mit tollem Service, kostenloser Minibar und ideal für Radreisende.
Pros:

Sehr komfortables Hotel mit freundlichem und hilfsbereitem Personal. Die Lage in der Altstadt ist hervorragend. Besonders toll fand ich, dass die Minibar einmal kostenlos mit Wasser, Cola und Bier aufgefüllt wurde. Da ich mit dem Fahrrad unterwegs war, konnte ich es sicher unterstellen. Insgesamt ein sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt.

Cons:

Es gab nichts zu beanstanden.
