Check google reviews “The Yard Zurich”
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

I liked nothing about the property . Please check google reviews before booking . We saw few bed bugs and a cockroach as well. AC doesn’t cools. No proper description on how to check in . It took us a while to figure out how to get the key card. And no description on how to check out. At last we decided to give it to the restaurant owner.

Pros:

地理位置算优越，距离火车站和国家博物馆比较近，附近也有超市。设施基本跟描述一样，有厨房冰箱。

Cons:

空调坏了，一直响，酒店处理不算积极。设施有点旧，地板走得滋滋响。不知道前台在哪里，白天3点也只能自助入住。小阳台一开窗，扑面而来的油烟味。

Correct mais sans plus…
Pros:

L’emplacement de l’hôtel est très bon, la décoration de la chambre est réussie et la literie très confortable.

Cons:

Serviettes de bain pour une seule personne alors que la réservation était faite pour deux personnes, les capsules pour la machine à café mise à disposition n’étaient pas compatibles avec la machine à café et les tasses étaient sales…

Never going back. Ever. I demand a refund.
Pros:

I liked nothing, seriously, everything was below expectation. And there was no-one to deal with my questions or complaints. I sent a message via Booking. I was assured it was being taken care of. But not at all - nothing was fixed and no reason was given. I faced exactly the same problems on the 2nd day of my stay.

Cons:

Wifi didn't work - kept cutting out, TV only showed one channel and the screen was defective, coffee machine didn't work, safe didn't work, and worst of all the shower drain was blocked which caused the bathroom to flood (see picture).
