10/10 Excellent
"We really enjoyed our stay at the Moxie Zürich hotel. The staff were very helpful. Rooms were nice size and very clean. The decor is very eclectic. I would definitely recommend staying here. It is a little outside the city limits however you can easily catch the tram, which is just the next block over. The Italian restaurant which is directly across the street from the hotel was excellent."
