Very good location, but please be aware that there is no air conditioning and the bathroom is quite small. Be aware that the hotel requires prepayment even though it is marked as "pay later" at expedia.

Great location to walk around the main sights of Zurich. Staff was great. Room had a great look of the church and square. Would stay again.

So, the hotel itself is very plain, nothing fancy. The rooms are functional but not at all up to what I would consider 'standard' based on North American standards. The hotel is located in the heart of the entertainment district and as there isn't any air conditioning, the nightlife kept us up until well past our normal 'bed time'. So, future guests should be aware of this. If you like to party, this location is perfect for you.

Zurich is an expensive city, so you don’t get as much there as you would in Germany. Our room had access to an outdoor patio, which improved the experience overall. Otherwise it was a pretty plain room and the bathroom was rather cramped

Too small - specially for a person of 6 foot and over 200 lbs. Not enough space in bathroom to move. Do not recommend for big person or tall. Picture are deceiving sometime otherwise it was placed in middle of town.

Hotel in an excellent location and amazingly friendly staff. Room was smaller than Expedia pictures but had a lovely view over a courtyard. Bathroom small and breakfast basic but adequate. Waterpressure in shower fluctuates affecting hot and cold water so maybe not ideal for kids. Despite a few flaws the hotel is very good value and had some very nice touches. Ideal location and super friendly staff make this hotel.

It's not a hotel for long stays. The rooms are small and have only very basic amenities such as a bed, a small TV on the wall, a kettle, and a very small wardrobe. That's all. However, all the reception staff are very friendly and helpful. Overall, I cannot recommend this hotel for a comfortable stay of more than 1-3 nights. It is suitable for a short business trip, but nothing more.

The staff at this property were great! Very accomodating and kind. I was able to get into my room after a 7 hour flight at 9 AM instead of waiting till 2 PM, which was a huge help. The room was cozy and exactly what I needed. Location is great, right in the middle of Old Town and near a ton of great dining options. The umbrellas in the lobby were a huge help when it poured my second day. I didn't eat in the hotel restaurant but I heard good things about it. Would def stay here again!
