The hotel had very large and comfortable rooms with a huge, very comfortable bed, a lovely hot shower with Aesop toiletries, but was missing some basic amenities like hot drink making facilities and Swiss to UK adaptors. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The location was fantastic in the old town of Zurich, perfect for exploring the city. The dining experience offered a decent choice of breakfast items but was slightly lacking in variety. Overall, a lovely stay with a few minor room amenities missing.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel. The rooms were newly furnished with a sense of zen/minimalism, very plain and small but very comfortable after being recently refurbished, offering great value for money. The bright room I stayed in had 2 windows, making it feel airy and pleasant. The service was incredibly friendly and effectively supportive, making sure all my needs and questions were met with a smile. The location was fabulous, only a 10-minute walk from the main train station in the heart of the old town. However, bar noise on Friday and Saturday nights could be bothersome if you're a light sleeper. The dining experience was delightful, especially the fantastic breakfast selections, though not quite at a full continental level. The hotel facilities were top-notch, providing everything one could need for a comfortable stay.
