    Only a very small point, real cups instead of paper would have been nice.

    The location, decor and cleanliness were fantastic. I loved the little balcony where I could enjoy my morning coffee. And, great toiletries.

    the room could have definitely been cleaner, the bed head and little table/ desk were dusty, the coffee machine was pretty dirty (we didn't use it!) - the flaking sink countertop in the bathroom does not fit the room price and neither the whole room vibe

    great location, easy contactless check-in and -out, helpful staff via whatsapp

    One side of the bed was uncomfortable. The QR Code that for the menu might have been better. If it was text, rather than an image., then you could use Google Translate.

    Pillows were very soft/flimsy and sink in quite a bit, not much support

    - Brilliant location — 2 minute walk from Zurich Central Station - Modern, stylish boutique hotel above a great café - Staff excellent and very accommodating, especially with requests like balcony rooms for special occasions - Balcony room made a big difference to the stay, especially in hot weather - Great communication via WhatsApp, very responsive - Room was clean, modern and fresh throughout - Very quiet despite being next to a major train station (excellent soundproofing) - Spacious, modern bathroom with good toiletries - Huge modern TV with streaming (Netflix etc.) - High-quality coffee machine in room with decent pods - Air conditioning was very effective during unusually hot weather - Coop supermarket directly across the road — very convenient for snacks, drinks, lunches etc. - Clear instructions for arrival and access - Self check-in was quick and seamless (a couple of minutes)

    Check in was clumsy. I had done the pre checkin as requested, but there was quite a line at the single kiosk connected to preparing the digital key card and some people were having to enter all the information in. The whats app provided directions focused on using a code to enter the outside door, but the code machine was not responding. It took a bit to realize the door was not locked, opening in (I had only tried pulling on the door! Oops) to a pretty dark hallway, through another door, and then through another door into the connected café to get the key card. Directions could have been clearer. Bar manager was very nice. One of our windows, which looked over the train station -neat view- did not have a curtain or shade. Brackets were there but no way to close out light.

    LOCATION! We wanted a place for one day and night near the train station. This is about 2 blocks away. Easy walk, no traffic. We were on 4th floor, so there were sections of slanted ceiling walls with dormer windows cut to provide some light and extra height and space. My 6'2" husband did just fine. It was quiet and clean. The soft pillows and duvets were dreamy. Good water pressure and plenty of outlets. There is a rooftop terrace up a flight of stairs from the 4th floor, but it was cold and rainy so we did not go up. It's an easy walk to the river, restaurants and old town.

    They did not get back to me when the charging plug didn’t work. Claimed to be a larger room which it was but the sliding door on the bathroom often opened in its own with no lock, there are tones when I like my privacy!

    Bed very comfortable. Good location - close to station restaurants. Reasonably quiet

    On arrival there was a broken piece of the shower bracket sitting on the bathroom bench. Obviously someone was aware it was broken but not fixed. I reported this & was advised someone would be there to fix it the following day, didn’t happen. Shower head could be used hanging it over bracket but it flooded the bathroom. Disappointing considering the cost.

    Location was great. Lovely cafe, bar. Spacious room.
