rooms were big, next to the train station and lots to do around

Hovhanes United States of America

location was great - right across from the train station and close walking distance to the old town. the hotel itself it a beautiful building and was neatly kept

Lani United States of America

Amazing location close to the train station, ferry terminals, and old town. The rooms are very well sized, comfortable for 2 people in the double, and wonderfully large bathrooms with tubs. The staff are very helpful and kind, we felt welcomed.

Joanna United States of America

Central location and convenience to train station. Rooms we clean and inviting. Breakfast was good. WiFi works well and is tied to your room. Hotel was quiet enough to sleep but there was a dance bar that ran late until the early morning.

David United States of America

Location was great. Roof top bar/ Cafe. Easy walk to restaurants and shopping.

Gary United States of America

The location. I’d recommend upgrading the bed pillows.

Mary United States of America

Perfect location, great staff, nice bathrooms, comfortable rooms with minibar, view of lake, historic landmark building

Stuart United States of America

Location of the hotel is incredible. It’s a gorgeous historic property from the outside and although there isn’t much of a lobby, the rooms are really nice and impeccably clean. The sky bar on the roof is so much fun and is open late for a night cap. You get a panoramic view of the city and it’s actually accessible from the hotel floors. I love the fact that you are just steps from the station and also steps from the beautiful famous “Kapellbrück” bridge and the old town. Efficient staff and fast check in. It’s incredibly convenient to have a Starbucks in the lobby and there’s even a McDonald’s next-door. And if you want fine dining that’s just a few steps away too. As is Globus (best department store). I liked it so much that I extended my stay!

Stuart United States of America

The location just off the main train station was fantastic for us after a (3) week trip in Europe then direct out of Zurich airport... we were so close the action and actually turned up during the carnival time and it was amazing! The room on the fourth floor was quiet and we enjoyed out stay.
