The hotel was in a great location. 5 min to the museum. Then another 5 to the outskirts of old town. Then wandering through old town takes you to the high end shops.

The hotel was simple, not fancy at all but clean. Rooms are on the smaller size but fair for how reasonably priced the hotel is.

This hotel boasts airport shuttle availability and how this is a “rare find”. Come to find out there is in fact no shuttle. We spent over nearly $100 usd to take a taxi to this hotel. We had selected this spot due to the alleged shuttle savings. When we got to the hotel, I showed the front desk clerk the verbiage on th site, and he merely shrugged his shoulders and said, “Available, but not free.” We felt this was false representation and false advertising. Additionally, they continued to send us check in forms in German despite repeated requests to send the English link. They also did not reply to our request emails as our check-in date approached despite previous kind communication.

Stayed w/my family of 4. The room was so clean and spotless and the linens were so fresh and delightfully comfortable too. We all were all so happy with the size of the room and the set up of the bathroom area huge shower and super modern w/ enclosed toilet room separate. Microwave and set up coffee station and frig. Even slippers for us! Our room had plenty of counter space for our things and also in bathroom area which for me is extremely important! Just about 15 minute easy walk to train station and Old Town. Would most definitely stay here again! Pictures online do not do this lovely place justice for sure. Staff was extremely helpful. Even called us an uber to airport when leaving. I totally recommend, I am super fussy and I was pleasantly happy here!!

The rooms were large and comfortable. The air conditioning in our room was not able to keep it cool inside. Despite staff repeatedly telling us it was working. The setup for the air conditioning is odd as well. We had to leave the curtains open to have air conditioning. Not the most pleasant way to sleep. Also staff was very good at night. However the lady we dealt with both mornings was very rude and unhelpful. Would be a great place in the winter if you did not require a cool room.

Everything was OK, but the dates I was in the hotel were quite hot. I couldn’t activate AC in the room, apparently it’s operated by remote which wasn’t in the room. After my complain the maid gave me the remote and guess what AC still was blowing the hot air and wasn’t working anyway. I checked the AC by the next room and it was fine. Regardless for all my trouble they just said sorry and didn't offer any compensation. The rest was fine and breakfasts were quite good.

DONT BOOK HERE! No A/C!!!
Just for 1 night and couldn’t sleep because of the heat, the room specifically said it had air conditioning. The air conditioner is behind the curtains so we have to leave them open, they know the Ac doesn’t work so they have ventilators in the room that do nothing for summer in Europe.
Went to talk to the manager at 630am I plead for them to check on my room, told them my kids were sleeping naked because of the heat, and he responded “I sleep naked at my house too”.
Don’t know how they have such a big score (probably friends and robots doing their reviews) , not friendly staff and nothing positive to say about it!!!!

Our original room was very small and pokey with no fridge. We had booked 5nights so even tho alot of time would be spent outside the room, it was still not nice coming home to a room you couldn't swing a cat in. Margi was wonderful and found us another room at the same price which was so more spacious and came with a fridge...bonus!! Rooms are not airconditioned but in May we didn't really need it. We just opened the window to let in some fresh air when needed. Breakfast was pretty good, however, not cheap. There are a couple of cafes up to the left on the main road that have a lovely selection and much cheaper. The number 3 tram is also not far from hotel, up the left on the main road which takes you to central station and back. There are also little swiss chocolates provided on the receptionist's desk....yummo!
Big shout out, and gold star, to Mafgie for all her help during our 5 day stay. She was a gem and always wore a smile!! Totally enjoyed our stay!

Great no frills place to stay. We had a family of 4 and stayed in a room that had a king bed and 2 twin beds. The room was very warm, cozy, clean and comfortable. The train is only 3 minute walk so it makes it very easy to get around Zürich without difficulty. You will need to buy your train tickets as the hotel stay does not include train passes like some hotels in Zurich.
The room had a microwave and refrigerator. They also provided plates, cups and bowls. Read the information about the hotel when you arrive as there is a lot of great information. They also have a drop off laundry service that is only 12 CHF per load or you can pay to do laundry yourself. This is an amazing affordable service I wish I knew about earlier in our stay. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again.
