Stayed here for one night and was impressed by the location. Rooms are small but nicely decorated and I had a lovely view of the street. My only complaint would be the lack of air conditioning - particularly since temp was in the 30s when I was there. Staff were very friendly.

.. False advertising. The photos on the website are deceptive. The room we booked and the room we were allocated were completely differnent. Some rooms don't even have a bathroom and guests have to share bathrooms/showers. Horrible Hotel and horrible service. When we complained about the room we were told that if we have a problem we should check out... More

A delightful hotel. The staff is extremely friendly, and the location is perfect. The main lobby / bar gets very lively at night, but does not at all interfere with the peacefulness of the hotel. Our stay was 4 nights, and every night was a pleasure. The room was clean and nicely laid out. It was also rather spacious for... More

We chose this place because it was in the centre of Zurich and close the train station. Surrounding the hotel is a series of bars and restaurants, it's a bit of a night life area for Zurich we gathered. There are several strip clubs in the area around the hotel and it's not really a family friendly neighbourhood. It's also... More

We were staying here for just one night, so booked the shared toilet option as it was cheaper. I didn't hold out much hope for it, as to me a shared toilet usually means a hostel. We were, however, pleasantly surprised It was a really easy walk from the station, in a perfect central location. We had a double room... More

I love this hotel. It is located one block from the river, in the heart of old town Zurich, on a cobblestone street that allows foot traffic only. It is surrounded by small shops, restaurants, and art galleries. If you are a walker, you will enjoy this great neighborhood. The hotel its self is charming, and clean. I I travel... More

We experienced a clean, nicely designed room on the top floor (featuring a sloping ceiling to fit the roof contour, and a small turret-shaped extension to the room). Everything was provided - amenities, towels, bathrobes, even a welcome apple. The reception desk was well manned whenever we needed it. Breakfast was of good quality and included a proper coffee or... More

Booked the hotel for one night, cool hotel. Room was small but well designed with all the needed amenities. Price was good. Location was fantastic in the middle of everything, restaurants and shops. The breakfast was much better than all the bigger hotels. The hotel is well worth it.

We were meeting in Zurich after some extended business trips and needed a nice place to stay for the night. Luckily, we both arrived early enough that we were able to enjoy the hotel and the Swiss nightlife. The hotel is a wonderful little B&B that resides over the bar itself. It actually took us a bit to find the... More
