Maybe the most helpful stuff I have seen in a hotel ever. Very professional and they were genuinely trying to make us feel as welcome as it can get.
The location of the hotel is 10-15 minutes walk from the central station. There is a restaurant downstairs and several cafes and restaurants within few minutes of walk. Also there’s a big supermarket around the corner.
The only tiny comment is that the entrance could be slightly more accessible as we have a baby and the stroller required some manoeuvres when trying to exit.

The hotel staff are second to none. They bent over backwards during our stay, we couldn’t have asked for anything more. The room was clean and quiet even though street facing. The amenities were great. Will definitely stay here next time we are in Zurich

Location is literally perfect, room was second floor with zero noise from streets, spotless and absolutely luxurious. The vip access included a bottle of prosecco and the lobby staff was incredibly nice. During this trip i visited 4 countries in EU and this hotel was hands down the best. I will be going back.

We loved our stay. Our room was one of the 5th floor apartment style rooms which was unique and let us spread out a bit. The kitchenette was welcome. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed the decor. Safe convenient area. Easy walk to the main train station and a large Coop.
