Loved staying at this hotel. Very friendly and helpful staff, the hotel and rooms were extremely clean. Very comfortable bed. The location is great, close to all transportation and tour buses right across the street.

Check in service was fabulous, clean and minimalist room and bathroom were immaculate. Only challenge was the poor pillow and very soft bed; which made it 4 stars instead of 5.

Great location next to train station and bus station. Wasn’t noisy. Not crazy about the “easy” check-in, you have to check-in on QR code, and use your phone as key. Clean and kinda spartan, but it worked out being so close to transportation.

The hotel and rooms were very clean. The single room could use a second pillow and second towel, both of which I got when asked for them. The staff was pleasant and helpful and the breakfast was plentiful. The air conditioner was a big plus on the hot days.

Great stay for a quick overnight trip to Zurich. Very convenient to the train station. And lots of good options around the area. I highly recommend this if you’re okay with an alternative check in system, keyless. They do have a lift, it’s just very small. My daughter lives the gummy candy jars!

Very clean. Super friendly and helpful staff. Placed in between the bus station and central train station and still very quiet. Delicious and fresh breakfast. Good AC and Wifi. Extra security boxes in the luggage room.

The rooms were comfortable and spacious. The location of the hotel cannot be beat. It’s right next to the train station, the tram, and walking distance from many of the attractions you want to see in Zürich. Our room was quiet and clean. I would definitely stay here again.

10/10 Exceptional

Overall, the hotel is really good. Staff was excellent. Helpful and friendly. The location of the hotel is ideal. Walking distance to shopping and right next to the train station. Also has a Starbucks next door and the bus station that we needed for our tours was across the street. Couldn’t ask for a better location. Good A/C also, which is hard to find in Europe. My only complaint is the showers are very small and hard to get out of. Seems like a hazard. Otherwise, I loved my stay at the hotel.

This is a well-kept, clean, nicely-located property. It is not fancy, very basic and relatively affordable. Expect comfort, staff support, location, decent breakfast- don’t expect luxury. Highly recommend for travelers on a budget.

The most convenient place to stay if you are reveling through Alsace by train. Steps away from the Zurich main station. Simple accommodation and wonderful staff.

Every manager we interacted with was outstandingly friendly and helpful. Our room was spotless and the breakfast was lovely. A five- star stay for us. It was a block from the train station and across the street from the bus station. The train station had a multitude of stores, bakeries, and groceries.

This hotel is perfect if you just need a quick place to rest for a night or two. It’s right across from the central station and within walking distance to so many delicious restaurants. The staff was so friendly and helpful. No frills hotel but it was perfect for the end of our vacation

Verified review

8/10 Very good

Great hotel with a decent breakfast. Great location, and helpful staff. Wasn't a fan of the online self check in (especially not knowing about it beforehand, arriving at 9pm and then having to sit with all our luggage in the lobby trying to get it to work before we could get in and relax) or having to use your phone to unlock the doors. I get that it's modern and fun but it took more time and was more frustrating than just having a key card.

Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

The room is very basic but clean and modern. The hotel is on a busy street but the windows are well insulated and it was very quiet at night. The breakfast was very good; lots of fresh ingredients and delicious breads. The only thing that would have made the room better would have been softer beds and more than one pillow. Each bed only had a thin, flat pillow which was not enough for us. Great location, though and quiet, efficient A/C. Would stay again.

Great stay, was away from the hustle and bustle - they have an easy on-line check in service, no keys needed unless you want one. Clean and friendly staff.
