Hotel was very clean,staff was very helpful.
Excellent customer service.
Rooms was also clean and comfortable. Although we couldn’t find phone in the room to call main lobby. We’re told later that there is a QR code in the room and we have to use that to chat.
Also there was no iron in the room. Requested one and was taken care of.
Overall great location 5 mts walk to train station, from where you can go around the city easily.

This was a great hotel with so many special touches that we really appreciated. From the water dispenser in the lobby to the robes and slippers in the room and the chill out areas near the spa. We enjoyed it all. It was very close to Alsetten railway station (3 min walk) which connects you to Zurich city in 2 stations. We had some accessibility needs for our trip and Lorenzo was brilliant. He really helped us a lot. His customer service was exceptional and in fact all the staff we encountered were great. I recommend this hotel and would stay again anytime.

Decided to stay 2 extra nights (that was pre-booked a month earlier) after our rail tour and we kept the same room which was fine but I had to check out in the morning then recheck in each day, why not just extend it in the computer.
Then at dinner with the tour group they wouldn’t give us butter for our bread, said management wouldn’t allow it.
Then 2 ladies in our group could not eat the dinner that was served due to allergies, so they ordered 2 burgers and had to pay extra, a group of 29 people and they couldn’t comp 2 burgers with fries.
Also the hotel controlled the air conditioning so your thermostats couldn’t be adjusted in your room, this was in June during a heat wave, 90 degrees.
Last was they were really skimpy on cocktail/wine servings

My husband and I specifically booked this hotel because it had a hot tub. And it was out of order. I went down to the front desk and told them this and the guy was very nice and said they were so sorry and they would do something to compensate us. They did not. I messaged them on the in room what’s up thing and they ignored me. Very disappointed. Other than that the hotel was fine.

During my time in the SPA area, I experienced an unfortunate incident where my mobile phone was stolen. I noticed it was missing shortly after and immediately contacted the reception to report the situation.

The reception team responded promptly and handled the matter efficiently. Thanks to their quick action and support, my mobile phone was successfully recovered. I sincerely appreciate their assistance and professionalism in resolving the issue.

However, I would strongly recommend improving the security measures in the SPA area to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future. Enhanced supervision or additional security arrangements would help ensure the safety and comfort of all guests.

I had to cancel this reservation due to coming down with pneaumonia which led to my early return to the US for treatment. Never checked in to this hotel but yet they would not refund my fees.

Check in was very slow and inconvenient. It took us almost a hour in the lobby because there was a huge group of tourists that hadcome before us but even though there were two receptionists they were really slow and inefficient. They were really slow and scanned all our passports even the kids’ not sure why and when they finally gave us the keys to our rooms (we booked two rooms) one pass ended up not even working so we had to come downstairs multiple times to make it work. Also they told us they would arrange a sofa bed but took ages to get someone to our room to set it up. It was raining outside so we asked them for umbrellas for our family and they were rude and refused to give us more than two umbrellas even though we had booked two rooms and were a family of 5 people with little kids!

There were a lot of windows and one of them was missing a curtain, so it was impossible to sleep once the sun came up. The second night, we slept with our heads at the foot of the bed, which helped a little. Also, the wall between the bedroom and bathroom was frosted glass, so when I went into the bathroom early to get ready for the day, the light in the bathroom came through the wall and into the bedroom where my husband was trying to sleep; he had to put a pillow over his face. We enjoyed the breakfast and the hot tub. And we enjoyed having a COOP just a few steps away. You’re also steps away from public transportation.

When we came back to the room around midnight there were no fresh towels… no one was there to clean up. Someone just came in to the room to put the tag do not disturb on the door, so they don’t need to clean up. I could not believe it ! This hotel doesn’t worth the money. Horrible, never again.

The property is located in a very quiet area more on the commercial side but not far from the train station, the tram and bus. 1 or 2 stops by the train from Zurich HB depending on which one you take, or a 1/2 hr tram ride depending on your preferences. Don’t get despondent when you get there, location will work for you. A phone in the room to contact front desk, a safe to store your valuables would be nice.

What was unique about the property was it's description as being like a resort or spa within the city. This marketing elevated my expectations so I was left disappointed. First, upon arrival at approximately 2pm with the check in time being 3pm, I was informed that there would be a fee should we wish to check in at this time. I have never in my days of travel been told that there would a fee for checking in a bit earlier than the exact check in time. In my opinion a higher level of customer service would have been to say something like, \"we are doing our best to have your room ready for you, let me check if a room is ready now.\" I was immediately put off. My disappointment increased as the room I found to be modern but lacking in any feeling of spa or resort like comfort. The bathroom is glass, with a curtain on the outside, the shower cubicle's door drags water across the floor, the simple soaps provided are not Nivea, representing a missed opportunity to market their onsite Nivea spa services, no phone in the room to contact the front desk (which I had to do to figure out how to turn off one of the lights), not even a book with a basic map, listing of local dining and transportation options, hotel menu or amenities. I looked forward to the rooftop to meditate in the morning, but learned it only opened later in the day when we'd be out exploring. For me, the room or service did not support that idea of the hotel being a spa or resortlike experience.

Hotel's exterior and lobby is very nice but don't come into this trap I strongly recommend that don't stay in this hotel, room size are so small that you can't keep your luggage properly even they don't have minibar in rooms. they asked me to deposit 50CHF as deposit money, who ask for that ?? they have nothing in room no kettle, no water bottle, no minibar than for what deposit money?? Rooms lobby is also so confusing that hotel staff itself doesn't know that in which direction which room number are there. They are running shop in hotel's reception area anything you need you have to buy from their, you need hot water go downstairs, you need tea, coffee you have to buy from them, i felt air bnb are better from them. I am amazed to see the hospitality and treatment of staff with guest is very bad and the staff is very shrewd & cunning they will always try to make you fool and grab the more money. I strongly recommend that don't spoil the your Switzerland trip by staying into this hotel.
