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!

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.

I didn’t expect much bc it appears to be a bare bones hotel . I was pleasantly surprised surprised . The beds were comfy and the ac was the best we experienced in Europe’s hottest summer. The room was clean and the location for day trips could not be beat. The breakfast was additional and was average/doable buffet for the price. Would stay here again!

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.

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.

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.

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
