Great location and super nice staff.
Pros:

Nice room with a lot of space to store your clothes.
I combined a business trip with skiing and was able to store all my stuff. The fact that they have a parking garage is a big plus.

Pros:

Easy location from Zurich HB train station so was convenient to stay before flying out. Right across the street from a fantastic Italian restaurant and others. Made the evening super convenient and relaxing.

Cons:

There was a strong and bad odor in the room - a mixture of old sweat and mildew. I couldn’t figure out where it was coming from and spraying lavender fabric scent didn’t help. Kept me awake at night. Wouldn’t repeat a stay here for that reason. Made me think the room wasn’t as clean as it should’ve been.

No complaints.

Pros:

Söin kananmunaa ja hedelmiä. Niitä oli kiitettävästi saatavilla. Hedelmäsalaatti oli hyvä.

Cons:

Gluteeniton aamiainen oli huono. Vain yhtä leipää tarjottiin, josta en pitänyt. Ei näkkileipää eikä mitään keksiä. Ei gluteenitonta mysliä tai puuroa. Vain tavallista jugurttia oli tarjolla. Ei kaurajugurttia tai soijajugurttia. Olen maidoton ja syön kaura- ja soijatuotteita. Hotelli mainitsi sivuillaan gluteenittomasta aamiaisesta ja itsekin sellaista pyysin. Yksi vaivainen leipä ei ole gluteeniton aamiainen.

Tolle zwei Tage in einem guten Hotel in Zürich verbracht. Komme gerne wieder.
Pros:

Das Hotel liegt Mitten im Zentrum. Alles direkt in der Nähe zum Hotel. Tolle Restaurants etc. Das Fühstück ist reichhaltig. Alles was man für einen guten Start am Morgen benötigt.

Τίμιο
Pros:

Άνετο δωμάτιο , θα έλεγα καθαρο. Στο κέντρο της πόλης, κοντά στον κεντρικό σταθμό. Ευγενικό προσωπικό. Το χρησιμοποιήσαμε μόνο για ύπνο ένα βράδυ οπότε οκ ήταν σχετικά οικονομικό για τα δεδομένα της ελβετιας κ κάλυψε τις ανάγκες μας.

Cons:

Η περιοχή είναι στην παλιά πόλη με φουλ νυχτερινά μπαράκια κ μαγαζιά. Πολύς κόσμος το βράδυ. Έχει λίγο φασαρία , εμάς δεν μας ενόχλησε ιδιαίτερα.
