I won’t come back.
Pros:

Location was convenient.

Cons:

It’s not a hotel that you pamper yourself or someone during a pleasure travel. It would be ok for working travel.

Pros:

Very well located hotel in the heart of the old town, within walking distance to everything.

The room was quite small, but it had everything needed for a short stay and was comfortable overall.

We had mentioned that we were celebrating a special occasion, and while the hotel acknowledged it kindly, they offered a paid package rather than a small gesture, which felt a bit commercial.

Overall, a convenient and pleasant option for a short stay in Zurich.
