The location was great and the onsite bar was nice.
United States of AmericaThe hotel is in an excellent location if you are looking to visit the main sights in Zurich. Rooms are super clean and the staff was always ready to help with questions. The Superior room on the 5th floor is beautiful with a private bathroom and everything you need to have a great time in Zurich.
United States of AmericaThe welcome and friendliness of the staff was excellent. Access to your floor and room is only possible with the room key, which is nice and safe. The rooms were very clean and bright and equipped with a coffee machine. The bathrooms in the Superior Kings were modern and well equipped with hand and shower gel, a hair dryer, bathrobes and slippers, a toothbrush and nail kit. The hotel is really well located in the centre of the old town, with plenty of bars, restaurants, shops and museums in walking distance, whilst only being a short walk from the train station too.
FranceAll the staff were very kind and helpful. When they learnt that it was my birthday, they prepared me a very nice cocktail. Thank you Alexandro!
TurkeyVery friendly staff, nice room, great location. Balcony with view on the old city.
NetherlandsThe little bar and lovely individual that checked us in. We asked about a specific dinner resi, and when the place she recommended didn’t answer their phone, she walked across the square to arrange/confirm. Awesome service touch beyond our expectations.
CanadaOne night stop over after a ski holiday; location was perfect, only a 10 min walk from the main train station. Nicely situated in the old town area.
United Arab EmiratesThe location was perfect. A short walk from the train station but the cobblestone streets could be a problem if you are unsteady on your feet. The room was brilliant with all that you need to be comfortable. A really enjoyable place to stay in the heart of the old town.
United KingdomAwesome location, beautiful rooms, great staff! We loved the hotel and will book again when in Zurich! It's charming, hip and perfectly located! Thank you!
ThailandI booked the cosy room. The room description said there wasn't an en-suite - there was a shower and sink in the room and a private toilet down the hall. The best thing was the staff. I arrived after hours due to a late flight and even though the front door was closed, the chap who was closing up the bar let me in, checked me in and even poured me a well needed pint. Great service for a weary traveller.
