Clean, comfortable, welcoming location to enjoy your time in Zurich.
Pros:

Great location. Easy walking distance from the train station.
Friendly and helpful staff. The room had everything we needed, and was really quiet, which we didn’t expect considering the location in the old town.
We were able to get early access to our room which was immensely appreciated after a long flight from Sydney.
Breakfast had everything we needed. Loved their Bircher muesli and fresh fruit to start the day.
Highly recommend this as a place to stay for you visit in Zurich.

Nice, cozy hotel
Pros:

Staff was super friendly and helpful. Was able to get my room a little earlier than check in time. Right in the center of downtown and a few minutes walk from tram and main Zurich train station.
