    For us this wasn’t a major deal, however AC options, while great that AC unit was provided, having to have windows open at night for the vent made it a little bit noisy ( trams , traffic, people etc) . Not terrible but if you’re used to zero noise at night then you will hear something - plus you’re right in the town so some noise is to be expected .

    Location was fantastic - we walked with our cases from the train station (10mins) and it was close and walkable to most things in Zürich city centre. It also has a restaurant on site that looked great however we ended up eating elsewhere during our short stay I chose this hotel versus a regular chain for a more Zürich “local” experience and it delivered (architecture, smaller boutique hotel etc) The junior suite was very spacious and comfortable for the three of us The library area that offered guests an option of seating on a balcony by the river was great too

    Room could use some updating and repairs. Air conditioner was not adequate. It was a portable unit that you had to empty the condensation out of every 30 minutes. Also not adequately vented.

    Location is convenient to public transit. Large grocery store very close. Easy to get around to other areas.

    The room was a bit noisy due to the traffic and tram outside.

    Lovely combination of a period building with contemporary art and design. Location was excellent, close to the main train station, and walking distance to sites, shops, and highlights of Zurich.

    Like everything in Switzerland, it’s expensive. Having said that, the rates were very reasonable for a boutique hotel experience relative to the rest of the city.

    The property was incredibly unique and we loved the cozy, old-school vibes. The staff was kind and accommodating to us for our early arrival. The rooms were elegantly decorated and extremely comfortable.

    The public places where hotel guests could congregate were off limits because of private parties. Even the patio of the restaurant. We never could stay at the rooftop bar because there were private parties every night. It seems that the hotel and restaurant management were very separate and there was limited public space for hotel guests. Rooms are small with limited space.

    Location was great not far from the train station. It had a good restaurant on the premises. We walked to many sites. Good transportation and restaurants nearby.

    The water in the shower get almost everywhere on the floor and there's no way to mop it. We only stayed for 1 night so we didn't make a big deal out of it but it was annoying.

    The hotel is a short walk from the main train station so we were able to get there by foot. The room was clean, organized and the staff at the reception was very welcoming. The bed was comfortable, and we got a view to the river which was beautiful and also gave a sense of privacy because we could open the curtains without worrying someone was looking into our room. There's public transportation close by, a supermarket and a few restaurants.
