Städtereise
Pros:

Wir hatten das wahrscheinlich schönste Zimmer des ganzen Hotels, das mit dem Dachgarten und wir waren begeistert! Da oben sitzt es sich an lauen Sommerabenden wunderbar im Strandkorb, wir haben das sehr genossen. Bei den Dachschrägen im Zimmer musste nur mein großer Mann etwas aufpassen, mich haben sie nicht gestört.
Es gibt ein einfaches, aber leckeres Frühstück. Die Lage des Hotels ist perfekt für die fußläufige Erkundung der Altstadt, auch die Kooperation mit dem Parkhaus ist günstig. Alle Mitarbeiter sind ausgesprochen freundlich und herzlich, wir haben uns dort wirklich sehr wohl gefühlt.

Cons:

Das Bad ist ein wenig eng; besonders an der durchsichtigen Duschtür haben wir uns oft gestoßen - da wäre eine marmorierte Farbvariante wahrscheinlich besser.
Ansonsten war alles super!

A very nice boutique hotel in the heart of Zurich
Pros:

Decoration, it is not the standard hotel but special adapted to an old house. for visitors of the city it is perfectly situated.

Cons:

If you come by car then you have to bring your car to a parking with a 15 minutes walk. Not so fun if it rains.

Great hotel but request an aircondioned room in the summer months.
Pros:

The location is ideal right in the old city, very close to tram stop and train station. Walking distance to lots of restaurants and cafes as well as the lake just down the road. Breakfast was typical continental breakfast.

Cons:

Unfortunately we were there during a heat wave and our room didn’t have aircon so it was quite uncomfortable. Also there was only a large doona on our bed which we ended up taking out of its cover to throw over us to sleep. The room was very small.
