Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
As there is no hotel staff per se - automated check in and no ammenties I gave those two reviews as a 3 out of 5 - the rest of the hotel, being the room - 10 out of 10 - I love how it is basically beside the train station, which makes it very convenient. Excellent sound proofing so you don't hear the trains - well perhaps a bit - but i love trains so it didn't bother me.
A comfortable room. Not very big but affordable for the few days I spent in Zurich.
Very close to the station. A lovely restaurant connected to the hotel.
Self Check in was easy.
Great location just a short walk from the main station and central Zurich.
Easy check-in via the touch screen.
Clean and good quality interior fittings.
The windows have shutters on them, some controlled via switches.
Comfortable bed, clean room.
Bag storage in the basement controlled via key card for security.
Amazing coffee and pastries served in the cafe, the hazelnut latte was fantastic also!
I’d happily stay here again and would reccomend to friends/colleagues
Lovely hotel shame about self check in/out it’s always easier to talk to a person, shame there was no breakfast offered when we stayed but luckily a bakery next door

Clean room in a convenient location. I would recommend staying here. I didn't love that the climate control was locked and we needed to leave the window opened, but that was minor.
Cute little room! Staff was helpful in checking us in.

A nice hotel very close to the grand central station. A small lounge and a bar with the essentials but not more than that. The room was rather small and but clean. The bed was also on the smaller side but comfortable anyway.
Would consider staying there again if I were to visit Zurich again
Great location for my purposes- just as sleep over between train journeys.
The room was very small, clean but I think the bed linens could use some bleach.

Disliked: Amenities
Room is too dark, bathroom is poorly designed, wall paint is dirty and looks shabby.
Comfy bed, great location for the station and our overnight stay. Friendly staff only downside bathroom only had one working tap, but staff responded positively when advised.
Very convenient location. Nice coffee machine inside the room. If you could let me know that there is a European power socket located underneath the coffee table, I would not walk all the way to a local Interdiscount store to purchase one (Swiss to European power point adaptor).
