Great spot in Old Town Zurich
Pros:

Nice spot, well-located in Old Town and within easy walk to train station. Breakfast was good, and nice to offer free apples and coffee in lobby. They accommodated early check-in and communicated well.

Cons:

As in most old-town hotels, space is tight. Zurich is expensive, but at that price point, I would have expected somewhat higher level of amenities, such as bathroom items. Room appeared clean, but there was a slight, lingering odor that we couldn't quite discern.

Good but could be better.
Pros:

Location within the old town of Zurich.

Cons:

No actual air conditioning so when it rained you couldn’t even open windows for ventilation and a small pedestal fan was not enough.

Would definitely stay here again and recommend the hotel.
Pros:

Great location, convenient and lots of eating options nearby. It was quiet and I lined the features of our room. The staff was the best feature of all. They consistently were cheerful and helpful with anything we asked about.

Cons:

The corners of the bed stuck out beyond the mattress, which caught our shins a couple of times.

Great location for a short stay in Zurich, located in the heart of the old town restaurant area. Helpful staff and a goo
Pros:

Location was excellent, staff was very helpful, room was quiet (not street side but opened onto small interior courtyard.

Cons:

Room was very small with just a slider for the bathroom door. But, this is Europe and it was not a surprise.

Pros:

A localização é muito boa! Eu só passei uma noite para pegar o avião bem cedo. Fica bem próximo da estação de trem! O quarto é pequeno e simples, mas para uma noite foi ok. Talvez eu não ficasse se fosse pra passar os dias de férias, mas para uma noite, achei honesto!
