8/10 Good
"The location of the hotel was great, and the gentleman who helped us check in late at night was gracious. We paid extra for breakfast, but felt like it lacked options for the price. Biggest disappointments were the lack of adequate air conditioning on days that were in the upper 90s (there was a sign in the room that said the AC could only be set for 9 degrees less than the outside temperature, which just really wasn’t sufficient in that heat. The other challenge was that the desk socket was so loose, none of our plugs would stay in, and the one in the bathroom was super confusing and I couldn’t figure out where the euro plug would go. This left us with only one outlet on the far side of the bed for charging three peoples’ devices."

"this is a fantastic choice if you’re looking to stay in zurich city centre!! really it’s the best location for walking around some of the city’s most famous streets, including the shopping ones! the hotel itself is in a lovely little square and looks very picturesque from the outside, with the shutters and beautiful pastel coloured buildings. the area around it feels safe, even when i went out on walks by myself as a young woman, and the square next door has a lovely looking greek restaurant and japanese restaurant not so far away! also close to the river ☺️ the staff were helpful and always friendly and the rooms are decorated in a lovely way and the views outside the windows are bery picteresque yet again! such an amazing location, style and efficieny of a hotel and i recommend staying here !"
