Pros:

Das Wohnen hat sich angefühlt wie bei Freunden. Die Zimmer waren geschmackvoll eingerichtet, die Betten, Decken und Pölster sehr angenehm, das Frühstück vegetarisch und sehr gut! Die Lage ist zentral und gleichzeitig ruhig.

A cosy boutique hotel in a good location
Pros:

A very pretty place, clean and quiet. The electronic locks make check-in after hours a breeze. Free apples for a hungry late arrival - a very nice touch! Plentiful breakfast.

Cons:

I would have liked an electric kettle in the room.

Ein sehr angenehmes kleines Hotel in guter Lage
Pros:

Das Haus liegt in einer ruhigen, aber noch zentralen Gegend Zürichs. Es steckt voller kleiner angenehmer Überraschungen, wie z. B. dass Gäste sich Essen vom gegenüberliegenden italienischen Restaurant bestellen können, dass es eine Gästeküche gibt, eine wunderbare Dachterasse und eine Sauna unterm Dach. Das Personal ist überaus freundlich und zuvorkommend. Die Zimmer sind nicht gross, aber ausreichend und nett eingerichtet, mit schönen Bädern. Die Nacht ist ruhig, der Verkehr nicht störend.

Cons:

Dass das Hotel leider keinen Platz mehr für eine Zusatznacht hatte - muss ich wohl ein anderes Mal wiederkommen!

Super séjour en famille, nous reviendrons!
Pros:

Personnel très accueillant
La chambre était spacieuse, parfaite pour voyager avec mes 2 enfants
L'hôtel est joliment décoré et l'ambiance est très douce
Joli rooftop
Mentions spéciales pour :
Boissons chaudes en libre service 24h/24 très appréciable
Une cuisine entièrement équipée est à disposition 24h/24, idéal pour éviter le restaurant à tous les repas
Coin salon-petit déjeuner très cosy
Nous le recommandons et nous reviendrons!

Cons:

J'aurais aimé savoir à l'avance que la nuit il n'y a pas de personnel présent sur place, même si finalement ça n'a posé aucun problème.

Pros:

Ottima posizione e dimensione della camera.
Staff gentilissimo.
Buona colazione (molto varia ma vegetariana).
Molto comodo il parcheggio (prenotabile a pagamento) di fronte all'Hotel.

Cons:

La camera (104) ha il pavimento in legno che scricchiola in modo terribile (non è possibile muoversi senza svegliare gli altri occupanti della stanza) ed ha una zona molto in pendenza. In questa parte è posizionato il divano letto e non è proprio il massimo del comfort.
