Чудові враження від проживання в цьому готелі
Pros:

Сніданок чудовий. Готель розташований в хорошому місці- легка доступність до старого міста. Персонал готелю дуже привітний і ми отримали багато допомоги в різних питаннях. В номері чисто, ліжко комфортне, постіль дуже чиста. Якщо ми вирішим приїхати в Цюрих ще раз, ми зупинимось в цьому готелі знову

Cons:

Все чудово!!!

Overall decent stay - value for money not bad
Pros:

Centrally located. Good breakfast.

Cons:

Bed is a bit hard - but depending on person some may like it. We had a room on first floor facing the street - which can be noisy at night. Hotels gave us earplugs - it worked OK.
