Sehr tolle Lage, würden wir wieder buchen!
Pros:

Die Lage ist unmittelbar an einer Nebenstrasse der Altstadt. Das Fenster war in den Hinterhof ausgerichtet, damit hatten wir den Strassenlärm nicht gross festgestellt.
Frühstücksbuffet war sehr reichhaltig und lecker.

Cons:

Zimmer war sehr klein aber schön eingerichtet. Keine Klimaanlage (nur Deckenventilator), da kann es schon sehr heiss werden...

Lage

Cons:

Bei 27 Grad in der Nacht ohne Klimaanlage ist an Schlaf nicht zu denken!!!! Ein Ventilator reicht nicht aus.

Pros:

Das Frühstück war sehr gut - freundlicher Service. Auch das Reisen mit einem kleinen Hund war kein Problem.
Einzig das Kissen war sehr gross - evtl. kleinere Variante/ergonomischer überlegen.
Sehr zentrale und ruhige Lage. Komme gerne wieder.

A célnak megfelelt
Pros:

A csend.

Cons:

Gyenge a reggeli kínálat. A fotókon "többet" mutat a szobákról, mint amilyen a miénk volt.

Great location, friendly staff, and a charming old town atmosphere with very convenient transport access.
Pros:

The location was very convenient — only a short tram ride from Zürich HB, and the tram stop was very close to the hotel. Although the old town stone streets made rolling luggage a bit difficult, it was not far from the tram stop at all. The hotel is near the river with a lovely atmosphere, and there is an excellent Thai restaurant right next door. The reception staff were very friendly and welcoming. The key system was a little different from other hotels, but easy to understand after check-in. Overall, it was very convenient for sightseeing and getting around Zürich.

Cons:

There were a few steps at the entrance before reaching the elevator, which might be a little inconvenient with large luggage, but it was manageable. The walls were also a bit thin, so we could occasionally hear people walking outside or upstairs. With the windows open, there was some city noise from cars, trains, and sirens — but since we stayed in May, the weather was cool enough to sleep comfortably with the windows closed.
