Really a great hotel at the location close to the city center, but not noisy. The room was nice and clean, bathroom could've been a bit bigger though. Breakfast was amazing and the hotel staff was assisting in serving the breakfast or in whatever we might've needed.

I was traveling with my sons 17 and 21 and this property gave us the three large size beds we needed and a lot of room to live in with a large kitchen. The location next to the main train station worked great because we could hop on and go anywhere without inner city transfer time. Even though situated next to the train station the place was completely quiet inside which was amazing. Our host was extremely responsive and helpful.

The host is very nice and helpful. Everything is clean and you can see they take great pride in their accomodation. Although we didn't cook, we noticed that the kitchen was well equipped, including with consumables such as oil, vinegar, soap, sugar, etc... Very close to both the city center (by tram) and the airport (by bus).

The services were even better than I had imagined: everything was very clean, very efficient and I was provided with all the things that I needed. The location was ideal, some minutes away walking distance from the cental train station as well as from a public transport stop for the city center. The staff was extremely polite with me and amazingly helpful to all the requests of mine. I would totally recommend it and stay there again!

This was a very clean, decent hotel and for a pretty good price by Swiss standards. The room was spotless and the bathroom seemed newly renovated with a powerful, warm shower. The location was a 15min walk from old town and around 25 from the sbb which was fine for me but there are trams nearby if you don't fancy it.
