Great hotel option close to the train station.
Pros:

Great location near the train station and plenty of trams and trains to get around Zurich. Nice comfortable room. Friendly staff. Decent breakfast with hot as well as cold food. Quiet even though there was lots of activity nearby. Air conditioning in the room. Yeah!

Cons:

Nothing.

駅近で便利
Pros:

駅から近い。チューリッヒ駅から徒歩3分くらい。荷物があったので駅近にして正解でした。
チェックインや鍵は全て電子化。事前にチェックインしておけば、部屋の準備ができると通知がくるので、アーリーチェックインもできた。
部屋はシンプルながら、機能的。
夜間に体調が悪くなり、常駐しているスタッフに沢山助けて頂きました。親切で、とてもありがたかったです。

Pros:

Понравилось всё:
1. Расположение (и остановка, и вокзал и национальный музей и центральная улица для шоппинга)
2. Номер (нереально просторный и светлый)
3. Очень вкусные завтраки (готовят как дома)
4. Есть и кофе, и чай и просто горячая вода во всех этажах.
Если будем в Цюрихе, точно там же остановимся!

Cons:

Нет

Una buena alternativa
Pros:

El hotel nos dejó una excelente impresión. Desde la llegada, la atención en recepción fue muy amable y acogedora. Destaca especialmente su ubicación, a solo cinco o siete minutos caminando de la estación de trenes Zurich HB, lo que permite desplazarse con gran facilidad a distintos puntos de la ciudad. Además, es un hotel muy limpio, con un estilo moderno y agradable. En sus alrededores existe una amplia oferta de restaurantes y lugares para comer, lo que hace la estadía aún más cómoda. Sin duda, su ubicación es uno de sus mayores atributos y una excelente alternativa para visitar Zurich.

Cons:

Como sugerencia de mejora, sería muy útil que las habitaciones contaran con un pequeño frigobar o refrigerador para mantener bebidas y algunos alimentos frescos, especialmente durante estancias de varios días. Como aspecto curioso, la habitación tenía el baño y la ducha en espacios completamente separados. No representó ningún inconveniente ni afectó nuestra experiencia, pero es un detalle que puede resultar llamativo para algunos huéspedes. En cualquier caso, son observaciones menores que no opacan la muy buena experiencia que tuvimos durante nuestra estadía.

Convenient stay
Pros:

Great location. Just few steps away from the train station. Good sound proof. Cannot hear outside noise. Coffee and tea available anytime. Have powerful air condition.

Cons:

The only thing is perhaps no kettle in the room but it would be perfectly fine if you do not need hot water.

Good value for money
Pros:

It was close to the main station, it was good value for money for Zürich, and the bed was comfortable.

Cons:

The facilities were quite basic, for example there was no kettle in the room and I couldn’t get the Wi-Fi to work. My room also faced a tram stop so it was not the quietest.

Angenehmes Hotel in guter Lage
Pros:

Gute Lage, gutes Preis/Leistungsverhältnis. Sehr gutes Frühstück, nettes Personal.

Cons:

Durch die gute Lage in der Nacht sehr laut, dass aber mit besseren Fenstern und Türen vermeidbar wäre.
