Excellent hotel and service

We arrived very early from Hong Kong and they gave us a room 9am in the morning. Not only that, they upgraded us to a suite as we are the VIP of Hotels.com. Excellent hotel and service.

Tony, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Dated hotel - better options available

Good location close to station and busy shopping street. Hotelnisbtired and in need of renovation. Closer to a 3* than a 4*. Gym is annoyingly off site and only available from 8am-10am on a Wednesday!. Rooms are dated - no USB / Cable slots. Location is good but that’s where it ends I’m afraid. Won’t be staying again.

Good experience

Nice hotel with good location. Bit outdated rooms, staff very nice and polite. A bit noise during the day (renovation under way?), nights very quiet!
4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was the perfect location. Steps from the main train station. Staff were so helpful and friendly. Steps from old town and great restaurants to include one in the hotel itself.
Karen, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Very conveniently located, close to train station, shopping and the old town - easily walkable. Our room was very small - two people kept bumping into each other. Beds were comfortable.

Kristy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect location.

Perfect location for walking around Zurich. Very close to the train station also. The only negative was the room was too hot (no A/C) and the windows did not open on the first floor. Not a good combination if you are going through the change (if you know what I mean)!
Stacey, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Close to Train Station, convenient, nice staff, good bar and restaurant
Stephen, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is centrally located to old town and new town. It’s adjacent to the train station and the beautiful river! The hotel accommodations are renovated and very comfortable. The restaurant is delicious and also lively in the evening with music. We went for the Christmas markets and they were easy to get to and SO WORTH it!
