Awesome customer service
When we checked in Pia represented the hotel. She was very personable, efficient and professional. There is no a/c so she provided a fan. It rained two of the days and the hotel provided umbrellas. We went green so when we requested more coffee pods Pia was there with a sack full!! We had a small issue in the restaurant with the bill but the General Manager took care of it professionally and swiftly. Highly recommend this hotel. Rooms clean, comfy and opening the window cooled the room sufficiently but a little noisy on the river view. Well worth the noise!!!

8/10 Very good

Great location . Close to trains and trams and the tourist attractions of the old town . Overlooking the river. The rooms however were rather cramped and with no air-conditioning during the hot summer it was unpleasant to be in the room after midday. They did supply a fan on request but it did little to alleviate the heat of the room. We had not realised that there was air-con only in the main hotel areas and not in the individual rooms unfortunately. Breakfast was ok but was an additional cost which probably wasn't value for money

Central Zurich Stay
The location of the hotel was perfect for getting around the city using public transportation. The room was clean and comfortable. When we checked out there were charges on our room that weren’t ours, but the front desk resolved the problem.

4/10 Fair

Unlike the beautifully depicted rooms advertised, our room was a tiny, sloped ceiling, attic room on the top floor. The A/C was completely inadequate which necessitated us to open the window and the noise from the city below made it impossible to sleep. Towels, toiletries, and hair dryer were sub-standard. Not worth the rate we paid.

Arrived at Zurich very earliy in the morning, understand hotel checking time starting at 3:00pm, staff tried very hard for us to have a room around noon time. During our two day stay, there were no shampoo provided to our suite, other than that, we enjoyed our stay. Property is next to city's main train station, that makes it very convenient to go to other destinations by train.
