"Note when booking the rooms that some (like the triple) are shared bathrooms for the floor. It wasn't really a problem in our stay but obviously can be situationally inconvenient, especially overnight.
No AC, which during European heatwaves these last few summers makes it very difficult to sleep and relax.
Everything in Zurich is very expensive so this hotel may be good value in that light, but compared to almost anywhere else in the world, it is very poor value for the money.
Staff were very...
"Excellent location. Nicely designed. Rooms are very modern, clean and well set up. Emad and Jemina at the front desk are very helpful, friendly and welcoming. The hotel should be 4+ star rating. Would definitely stay there again in the future."
"There is air conditioning but does not cool the room enough and no ice machine. The room was cleaned daily which is really good. If needing to check-in early, hotel needs to be informed in advance; otherwise, hotel will not accommodate the request per my experience."
"Found the room too compact, and hot. Sloping roof made it difficult to get to the window and the noisy fan was unusable. Bed was good, shower good, but not a room to chill out in."
