The hotel is in a very nice location closed to ETH University. Hotel room is cozy. It looks new and has nice decorations. The balcony is a bonus. The only comment that we have is the shower bath area which is a bit small. The daily breakfast with a good variety of healthy food. Reception staff is responsive and helpful. Overall, it is a very comfortable place to stay.

Clean room with comfortable bed. Beware booking through Expedia. I booked the room with the exposed beams and slanted ceiling with a shower. I received a basic room with a tall bathtub. Not conveniently located to catch a tram. Very congested walk from main train station.

The staff were very helpful and friendly and we were grateful to be able to check in when we arrived early. They also stored our luggage and provided somewhere to shower and change before our late flight. The rooms felt new and clean and the beds were very comfortable. Breakfast was included and delicious. Location is very central, an easy walk from the train station. Would happily stay here again and recommend to others.
