Pros:

Şehrin merkezinde, merkez tren istasyonuna yürüyerek beş dakika mesafede. Üç kişilik aile odasında kaldık, odanın genişliği yeterliydi.

Çalışanların hepsi birbirinde güler yüzlü ve yardımsever. İstediğiniz zaman ücretsiz olarak su ve kahve alabileceğiniz küçük bir bölümleri var. Ayrıca ortak olarak kullanılabilen, gene aynı yerde, küçük bir buzdolabı bulunuyor.

Kahvaltısı yeterli.

Cons:

Yorgunsanız farkına varmıyorsunuz ama eğer yola bakan taraftan odada kalıyorsanız gece araç sesleri biraz rahatsız edici olabiliyor.

Hotel Martyr would be a more suitable name
Pros:

Excellent location. Close to the station.

Cons:

It was basic accommodation. No frills. No niceties. No comfort. The room had no air conditioning. Fans were provided but they were not adequate in >30° heat. We were very uncomfortable with the temperature and did not sleep well or enjoy being in the hotel. The bathroom was tiny and overwhelmingly hot.
I note several reviews praising the breakfast. It was poor and very limited. We ate breakfast on the first morning but did not bother on the other 4 mornings of our stay.
Given how expensive Zurich is generally, it's hard to assess how much this hotel gave value for money. It was more like a hostel than a hotel and anywhere else in the world I would have expected to pay half of what I was charged for this.

Pros:

Location

Cons:

The lack of air conditioning in the rooms was a challenge. There were two fans in the room, but they weren’t as effective as an air conditioner. There weren’t enough outlets in the rooms.

Pros:

Quarto espaço (ficamos em um triplo), com lugar para colocar as malas e as coisas, e ótima localização.

Cons:

A reposição no café-da-manhã era muito lenta. Se você chegar faltando pão, por exemplo, pode terminar de tomar o café da manhã e ainda não ter tido reposição do pão.

Pros:

Très central près de la gare et des transports publics.
Facilité check-in. Personnel gentil et chambre propre.
Juste pour dormir dans le cadre d'un séjour pro c'était suffisant

Cons:

On peut etre surpris du prix par rapport au type d'hôtel qui est plutôt comme un hostel. Pas d'équipement de confort, ni télé etc dans la chambre.
Ce sont les prix en général à Zürich qui ne sont plus justifié par rapport à la ville. Ok tout le monde s'aligne mais je voyage partout dans le monde et le même type d'hôtel à Paris, New York etc serait sans doute 30% moins cher.
