Sustainability: Commitment to resource conservation and regional products

“The central location, near Zurich's main station and diverse dining, is a definite asset; rooms are compact, with thoughtful, artistic design, and while the tower fan helps with the warmth, be aware of church bells if windows are open. Breakfast impresses, and the availability of still and fizzy water adds a practical touch. I'd consider staying here again for its blend of convenience and character.”

train station hot coffee

The hotel is very close to the main train station. I walked there in under ten minutes. Breakfast was wonderful with many choices and hot coffee available.

The hotel did not include parking. I found street parking difficult.

kind receptionist modern room great location thin walls loud hvac adjustable heat

The receptionist was particularly wonderful , her kindness stood out. The room I had was modern and very nice. It seemed recently refurbished. The location is top , especially the easy access to everything. The staff members were friendly and polite , I appreciated that.

The walls seemed quite thin , I could hear a lot of noise. The heating system made a very loud noise all night , I found it disruptive. The room got very hot , and I couldn't adjust the temperature at all. There was only instant coffee available , I would have preferred a coffee maker.
