Central, travel in the past of hospitality, very affordable for Zurich, bathroom en suite
Pros:

I understand it may not be up to contemporary standards, but i really liked the oldish style of the place. It’s a travel in time. And super value for money in Zurich

Cons:

Check-in was a bit rough. More like a pension than an hotel. But I guess it was part of the old style experience.

Pros:

O hotel está muito bem localizado, em frente a estação de trem e a poucas quadras da rua Banhofstrasse. Tem vários restaurantes e cafés na mesma rua, fica a poucas quadras do local de onde sai o ônibus para o City Tour. Os funcionários são muito simpáticos e atenciosos.

This hotel sucks - what a mistake!
Pros:

It is centrally located with many restaurants close by.

Cons:

We arrived very tired from our long day just getting there. We each had a carry on bag, plus a big suitcase. Once we opened the door to go inside the hotel, there were steps up to the check in desk. I immediately asked for assistance with our big suitcases (that we had left by the entrance) and the desk clerk smirked at me and said, “We do not help with bags. You will have to exit the hotel, take your bags AROUND the hotel to the back side, and enter through a separate door.) I was shocked by the rude behavior! So once we did that, we finally were able to go up only two steps and get on the elevator to get to our room. It was detrimental for my health. I’m still suffering from having to drag my heavy suitcase.

Cool and quirky hotel in great location in Zurich.
Pros:

Excellent location close to the railroad station and in the old city. The place has character and the room was remodeled and felt clean and homey. Bed was comfortable. The view from my window was of the funicular that starts in the building next door and goes up the hill to the university. I found that quirky and cool.

Cons:

There doesn't seem to be air conditioning, but I was able to keep the room comfortable by opening the window. But that made the street noises more noticeable. Worst thing is shower setup, a curtain around a small recessed rectangular space on the bathroom floor. Water gets all over the floor and the curtain tends to latch onto you because there's not much room to move.

Perfecta ubicación, y aún mejor: gran predisposición a dar la milla extra por los huéspedes.
Pros:

Me ha encantado este hotel, lo recomiendo ampliamente. Hemos llegado a las 9 AM (luego de un vuelo bien temprano) y nos tenían lista la habitación a las 10 AM, lo cual aprecié muchísimo, sé que no es lo habitual, por lo que agradezco la milla extra. La ubicación, perfecta. A pasos de todos los lugares turísticos y de la estación de trenes. Lo repetiría sin dudas.

Cons:

Nada.
