I liked how centrally located this hotel is, it is within walking distance to a ton of major attractions in Zurich. This property is also super automated with minimal staff. An ipad in the room to control everything you need, lights; tv; room service. Bed is comfortable and food is pretty good. Loved it!

Great hotel and very well located in downtown Zurich… only complaint would be the air temperature in the room… tried to program to 18 degrees and could not get cooler than 24.

Overall a good value with friendly & helpful staff. Just needed a place to stay before flying out the next morning, and wanted to enjoy our last night near old town - and this suited our needs. Not completely clear in the photos but the King room is oddly configured and one person will have to climb over the other to get out of bed - this may be a problem for some people. Really had the feeling of a pod-type hotel room, but for the $ we are satisfied and would most likely stay again.
