The hotel is located well, walk to all the sights, close to the main train station and trams. Going to the airport by train is highly recommended. Hotel staff is friendly.

The room is clean and well equipped. I forgot my bag in the room and staff was very helpful and kept it for me when I went back to take. Thank you very much.

Pannaras Thailand

Location is perfect. Staff was very friendly and welcoming (Carlos was great and gave great tips about Zurich!).

Emanuel Canada

Friendly, helpful staff, outstanding location. Clean, modest accommodations.

Jane United States of America

Loved the 'Swiss Chocolate Hotel', even if the name seems gimmicky. To be honest, I'm not sure what is the chocolate affiliation? There is a kitschy chocolate fountain in the lobby (more for novelty than anything else - I wouldn't say it's good chocolate), and they give you one very small chocolate at check out... The breakfast spread was excellent! Location was amazing right in the Old Town. Good for tourists on a first visit. My room was lovely, but did not have much lighting (only one small bedside lamp).

Kaethe United States of America

The theme and location was great. You are nearly in the center of everything. A great place to journey into the city and enjoy all that Zurich has to offer.

Phillip Turkey

Location is great, not far from the train station and city center. Staffs were nice and friendly.

Hotel design is modern and relaxing! Clearly built recently and a great vibe for young guests. Room was very clean and well laid out and the location is just unbeatable (4 min walk from HBf). Walk around and find restaurants and a nightlife scene any evening of the week!

Connor Switzerland

Hotel design was interesting, and very nicely done. Location is very good, walkable to many parts of old Zurich city center. Staff is helpful.
