Very impressed with this hotel. We booked a twin room and arrived around midnight to a friendly and efficient welcome. The room was a good size and the complementary first stocking of the mini-bar was a pleasant surprise. There's also a hot drinks machine in reception that's available for use. Lots of towels, comfortable bed and a good shower, though I cut my leg on the sharp corners of the beds - so beware of those! Breakfast was complementary and offered a good, well-stocked selection of all the usual items. Overall, much better than a standard 3* hotel and I'd return again.

The hotel is located in the old town section of Zurich, surrounded by restaurants and shops. If you have a car then you need to reserve a space ahead of time, for a fee, if spot is available. Otherwise, you have to locate a parking lot, for a fee.
