Expérience décevante, le prix de la chambre est élevé par rapport aux services proposés.
Pros:

L’emplacement près du Lac.

Cons:

Pas de bouteille d’eau dans la chambre à l’arrivée alors qu’il faisait une chaleur caniculaire.
Pas de bouilloire ni réfrigérateur.
Vue sur un terrain en travaux.

Helpful professional staff - great place to stay in Zurich!
Pros:

Beautiful old building in great neighbourhood - roof deck was one of the highlights & very comfortable bed

Cons:

I might make a distinction between “AC” and a fan in the room - my stay started out with temps around 33 degrees & luckily it cooled off

It should be made very clear that there was no air conditioning. Breakfast was also very mediocre.

No air conditioning and ridiculously hot with a tiny desk top fan

Pros:

Very nice and boutique hotel where you feel welcome, not least because of the wonderful staff. The room was spacious and clean and had everything we needed in terms of amenities. The breakfast buffet was simply excellent and very fresh!

Cons:

It was a hot time to be in Zurich and I had expected the room to be equipped with an A/C unit. The hotel did offer a fan which helped a bit.

Pros:

小而美公寓酒店,精美舒适。员工友善热情,入住提供水和冰淇淋,在炎热的夏季显得非常贴心,大堂还有免费的苹果可以自取。有一个Guest Kitchen方便自行加热食物。在市区闹中取静,公交出行方便,走路去湖边也近(只是夏天走路很热)。

Cons:

早餐西瓜不甜(香蕉很好吃)
