Parking was a bit of a charade. No parking onsite however it is about 5 mins. After arriving, our host said we were able to pull up outside the hotel for a few minutes to pack the car. Just know, it does look like a pedestrian walkway but you can drive on it!

Location is one of the main reason I booked this hotel. But it turned out way better than I expected. The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was also not bad. It is so close to old town and limmat.

Wonderful Terrace

This hotel was in a location easy to walk to all of old town Zürich. We had a little trouble finding it and the cobblestone was being worked on outside their doors. Once there we had the cutest terrace loft. What a great find. Don’t let the journey there dissuade you. Good breakfast, clean, nice shower and comfortable bed.
