The place was clean and accessible to everything you needed including train station and bus station. The breakfast was good as well but just like any other breakfast buffet, the selection does not change at all. We had a comfortable and safe stay.

Clean room but on the small side. The single bed was a bit low. But very quiet which was surprising as it is so close to the main station.

Great place to stay to be near the Zurich HB station - easy to get around, convenient and room is just what you need for a one or two night stay. Nothing fancy, not very big, but good location for good price.
