War nichts!
Cons:

Zimmer war stark überhitzt , ohne Klimaanlage, alternativ geöffnetes Fenster, aber dann mit Straßenbahnlärm. Eines der schlechtesten Nächte seit langem

Lovely and friendly boutique hotel in the heart of Zurich Old Town - very happy with our stay!
Pros:

The location was excellent. We were greeted by super friendly staff who were very helpful. The bar and cafe were a great place to gather. There is an elevator on the property too!!!

Cons:

The street noise is loud until 11:00 pm and since there is no A/C the only option is to have the windows open.
