The hotel had nice and bliss windows that opened, providing an airy room, though it was smaller than expected from the photos. The room was a little cramped with a table and chairs, feeling like an absolute rip-off.
My stay at the hotel was comfortable and enjoyable. The rooms, though basic, were more than sufficient and pleasantly surprised me compared to online images. The view from my room on the first floor overlooked the train, which added a unique touch to the experience. The service was friendly overall, with a few minor issues of nighttime noises, but our dedicated staff member truly made our stay exceptional with top-notch service and genuine care, especially during our dining experiences in the restaurant. The location was ideal, offering easy access to public transport, the old town, and various dining options within walking distance. Dining was nice but slightly expensive for the selection offered. The facilities were well-maintained, contributing to a pleasant stay overall.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The room was spacious and spotlessly clean, exceeding my expectations from the online pictures. The location was ideal for exploring Zurich, although the noise of trams could be heard in the room. The service was exceptional, with the trainees and all staff being incredibly helpful. The dining experience was decent, but I found it a bit overpriced. Overall, a good value for the money.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were already prepared, but there was a lingering smell of smoke that was off-putting. The location was convenient, just a short walk from Bahnhofstrasse, but it lacked a welcoming atmosphere. The service was incredibly friendly and helpful, making my stay enjoyable despite some downsides.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were a bit small and lacked views, but they did have AC which was a plus. However, they were poorly prepped with missing toiletries and no toilet paper. This could be an issue, especially during the hotter months like July and August.
The hotel has modern, clean rooms with great bathrooms and comfy beds. However, the rooms feel a bit small due to their shape and have below-average views. The service was excellent, with helpful staff who even contacted me for a credit card issue late at night. The location is perfect, just a short walk from the main railway station and near the river and old town. The dining options offered healthy choices, but the breakfast was a bit disappointing. The facilities provided were top-notch, enhancing the overall stay.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room I got was fairly small for the price paid, and it didn't match the surprise upgrade I was expecting to room 412 with the terrace restaurant. However, the service was very helpful in guiding us, especially the trainees, despite an overcharge issue through my credit card. The location was convenient for travelers despite the noise from trams running on the first floor. The dining experience was above average but lacked comfort due to limited dining space. Overall, it had its ups and downs.
The hotel is in a prime location, right next to the main train station with good tram connections. The rooms, although small, are well-appointed and provide a nice and airy ambiance with windows that open. The service is top-notch and incredibly helpful. However, the breakfast could be improved, and it's a bit overpriced. The location offers convenience but lacks scenic views of the river.
The hotel is conveniently located near the main train station and offers a quirky yet comfortable stay. The friendly staff make extra efforts to ensure guests are comfortable, although the dining experience may not be the best. Value for money is reasonable considering the location.
The hotel is conveniently located close to public transport with wonderful pubs and restaurants within walking distance. The rooms, though slightly small, had everything we needed, but there was an unpleasant smoke aroma despite requesting non-smoking and not meeting the expected standard for the price paid. The service was exceptional, going the extra mile to ensure our happiness, with minor hiccups like overcharging on arrival. The location is ideal as a transportation hub but lacked privacy due to transparent bathroom views. Overall, a mixed experience with notable strengths and weaknesses.
