I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was great, right in the heart of Old Town Zuerich, but there were some drawbacks like the lack of air conditioning and shared bathrooms. The staff were exceptional in their assistance and customer focus, making my stay more pleasant. The dining options were basic, and the facilities were average.

The hotel is ideally located in the heart of Old Town Zuerich, making it perfect for exploring the area on foot. The rooms are clean, bright, and well-equipped, offering everything I needed for a comfortable stay. However, keep in mind that there is no air conditioning in the summer months, and some rooms may have shared toilet facilities. The staff is kind and accommodating, going out of their way to ensure guests have a pleasant experience. The dining options, while basic, may not fully satisfy those looking for a variety of choices. Overall, a buzzy area for a good price in the center of Zuerich with a few minor inconveniences.

Rooms

The rooms had everything I needed, including body lotion, and were very clean and bright with a coffee machine. The only downside was the noise from the Main Street until around midnight.

The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of the Old Town with a charming atmosphere and surrounded by plenty of restaurants and shops. The service is outstanding, with a very kind and accommodating staff offering great water pressure and a range of helpful services. The dining experience could be improved as the breakfast options are limited, especially considering the high prices in Zurich. However, the hotel's facilities offer convenience and a pleasant stay overall.
