10
Consistently described as an excellent location in the heart of the historic old town—easy walking access to shops and restaurants—despite exterior renovation affecting views/entrance.

6
Multiple complaints about renovation-blocked windows, noise through walls, lack of fixed AC (portable only), small/dated bathrooms and some peeling/maintenance issues—room quality is noticeably affected.

7
Positive note on the lobby/library area; however Netflix/library tech issues, non-working minibars in some rooms and limited AC reduce the amenities score.
Value for Money
7
Some guests felt the property did not meet a 4-star expectation and there are reported issues with promised refunds after room downgrades, lowering perceived value.

Breakfast generally described as good/basic/correct—satisfactory but not exceptional across reviews.

Perfect Location!
Pros:

Good location in the heart of the historic old town. Lots of shops and restaurants nearby. Family room and Library was really nice place to chill after check out while waiting for late night flight.

Cons:

Currently, front facade is under renovation. We we'ren't affected as I have requested for a room away. Would be good if future guests will be informed of renovation timing and completion date..

For a three-star, it’s OK, although I’ve never stayed in a three-star hotel, but this is not a four-star hotel and it’s
Pros:

The staff was very helpful, and the lobby area with the library is cool, although I could not turn on the Netflix there. The breakfast is okay, pretty basic, but this should not be called a four-star hotel. This felt more like a three-star hotel. Nowhere was it mentioned that they are renovating the façade. At first, they put me in a room where there’s no window because the renovation is blocking the window, and I did not stay there, so they gave me a better room on the upper floor, but if there was no available room and I would have to stay in that room, there is no way I would stay.

Cons:

Renovations that nobody knew about, hard to get to if you have heavy luggage because the Uber cannot go all the way there. A lot of noise through the walls because the building is old, no AC, poorly maintained bathrooms, even in the nicer room that I got. Things are peeling off. just doesn’t feel like a 4 star hotel at all

Great location but under construction and still no refund for the new room they had to put me in
Pros:

great location! easy to walk around and lots of food options

Cons:

Upon arrival I was notified that pipe burst and I would no longer be able to stay in the room I had booked. They gave me a new room and said they would provide a refund since the room I originally paid for was more expensive than the one I was given. It has been almost a month and I have not received a refund. The outside of the hotel is completely under construction and its extremely hard to find/does not look the way the photos look online. Our "view" was just tarp covered building.

מיקום מנצח , מלון פחות
Pros:

מיקום מצויין
מיטה נוחה

Cons:

המלון בשיפוצים, יש פיגומים והכל עטוף בברזנט. פותחים חלון ורואים פיגום עם ניילון. מוקדם בבוקר מתחיל רעש של שיפוצים ולא ניתן לישון.
לא נאמר לא בבוקינג ולא על ידי המלון שיש שיפוצים.
יש מזגן נייד בלבד בחדר
המיני בר לא עובד ונאמר שככה זה בכל החדרים וזאת למרות שרשום שקיים מיני בר.
המקלחת קטנה ומיושנת, קיימת מדרגה גבוה בין המקלחון לריצפה.

Un bon hotel al cor d’un dels barris més atractius de Zúrich.
Pros:

Hem estat diverses vegades a aquest hotel i ens agrada la ubicació, l’amabilitat del personal i la decoració. Les habitacions són confortables i l’esmorzar molt correcte.

Cons:

L’última vegada hi havia obres a la façana i no ens van avisar… Però la resta de vegades tot perfecte.
