This hotel was perfect for an overnight in Zurich. It is a very easy and quick walk from the train. The area is safe, with a grocery store right across the street! We did not eat at the restaurant, but it was very nice looking. The room itself was very clean, comfortable bed, spacious. Large bathroom. Lovely to be able to open the windows and get fresh air. Check in is at a kiosk right inside the restaurant. The bartender is there to help if needed. But it went smooth. There is an elevator, which was great for luggage. Even though it is literally next to the train tracks, the windows were well insulated and the room was quiet. There is no air conditioning, so in the summer, I would guess it would be quite hot. But for us, it was perfect to be able to walk into old town Zurich and see the sights. Would definitely recommend!

Very nice property, steps from central train station. Lovely cafe downstairs for breakfast. The only thing I did not appreciate was the self-check-in computer. Not even a hello from hotel staff? Was off-putting.

Property was convent to the train station, nice safe area. The check in process was strange and confusing but the room was ok. The AC didnt work so we had to sleep with the tiny window open. We end up not sleeping much due to all the noice from the train. It’s a trade off.

Love the design of the rooms in this hotel, bathroom was gorgeous and had really nice toiletries - so no need to pack your own. It’s self check in, but that was easy. Very close to the station and in a nice area.

I liked the decor but everthing in the room did feel quite cheap, especially the bedding, one side had one pillow and one side had two pillows stuffed in one case. The pillows were far too thin. The room was just quite worn, scuffs all over the walls etc. Great location though but i think overproced for the quality.
