Great spacious room for a family of 4. Located just a 10 minute tram ride from the main train station with the bus stop right in front of the hotel. That was good for us since we had quite a bit of luggage to carry around. Rooms are well equipped and clean. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. They do have breakfast though we didn't opt for it since we usually left early morning for the trips

    Cleanliness and location of the hotel was the best. It's a budget hotel so rooms are bit small but not a problem for a family of three. The very good staff behaviour and we got city map and guidance from them for local tour. Another good thing is, even if you check out from hotel early, there is luggage storage available within hotel at no extra cost.

    It was super clean and they give you towels and everything! It is an affordable place when you consider Zürich's prices. Would also recommend to eat in place since it has good prices also compared to local markets or restaurants, fastfood etc. The location was not bad but not the best either. It is close to S8 train ( 4-5min walk) and in 10 minutes you can get to the main train station, which is situated near the city centre.
