Located direction opposite the train station which made getting around very easy. Staff was helpful and accommodating. Shops and restaurants were within walking distance.
Perfect hotel. Location is great, 5 min from downtown and 5 min from the airport. all the amenteies of a luxury hotel with a great budget price. many food options across the street. my favorite stay in Zurich
Reception staff lovely, friendly and helpful, breakfast was delicious, only issue was out the 4 days I stayed my room didn't get cleaned one of them days despite leaving a please make my room up sign on the door apart from that was a wonderful stay
Location was absolutely perfect. Right across the street from the train station. Room was clean, and had everything you could need. Staff was attentive and always willing to help. Definitely would stay here again
Clean room but we were charged for a breakfast that was not available. I have asked this to be refunded on Sepember 12th, but it is still outstanding. Be careful with this host.
One of my worst hotel experiences, in terms of service and honestly in what you are getting.
In my hurry at the airport after my flight was cancelled I booked with breakfast, but was
I booked the xxl family room with couch and it was not that. Two separate small rooms with lots of lost corridor space. The rooms were not even connected but there was an additional door in the regular hallway to you could close off that part of the hallway between the separate rooms. But the space was unusable. So I paid double for the one small room I could actually use.
Few amenities. No coffee or the usual, just some water. Not even tissues, had to use toilet paper for a runny nose.
The only solution the front desk suggested was to not accept me and have me contact hotels.com for a refund based on refusing to give me a room. This is at midnight on a Sunday with a child.

So the hotel is just open.. it is lovely & new & the brand is pretty cool.. however the rooms are not! We were absolutely boiling all three nights, the “air con” wouldn’t blow out a candle. The shower flooded a lot, appears it wasn’t sealed correctly or al all. The rooms don’t have tea / coffee facilities which really should be a common standard. Beds were comfy but the “queen” bed was rather small. Fridge in room was ok, but water was only a welcome offer, I feel this should be replenished daily. Staff were nice but not exceptional. Breakfast was good. The location is perfect for tram & train connections & has lots of near by food shops / restaurants etc. still a few bits missing to make this an excellent stay for us
