What a gorgeous hotel. Everything is so modern and clean. The only drawback was location. It really wasn't close to walking things- but if you are taking public transportation it would be fine. But hard to "pop out" and grab some dinner or ice cream- it would take a longer committment.

Hotel was nice and mostly well maintained (except some stains in the bathroom). From the hotel position it's easy to reach the center with a direct tram. Not much space for free parking near the hotel unfortunately and you end up to pay a lot daily just for the parking fee. Nice view from the high rooms, even if it's in an office/industrial area.

Lovely, knowledgeable staff at the front desk and a nice quiet location within walking distance of the tram. The bedroom was clean and tidy with modern facilities. The bed frame could have been a bit sturdier as it moved around slightly, but the movable tray attached to the bed was really useful. I actually booked the hotel after seeing it recommended on social media, and overall I had a good stay.

Great room, clean and quiet. Just be aware that their is no wall for the shower. Breakfast is expensive (but everything is expensive at Zürich) location was not the best, need to use the tram for transportation, it’s about 25 min away from main attractions. Never felt unsafe.
