Property was very nice. You could tell property was dated but still was very clean. Breakfast was okay. Honestly expected the breakfast to be better. Most jams and such were packaged and not fresh. Overall very convenient if you need easy access to Zurich HB about a 8 minute walk. Most food in the area is extremely expensive. Overall still a great place.

Convenient to shopping (Grocery, stores) and transportation. The hotel is @ the heart of it all within walking distance to the main train station. The lake is within 5 minutes walk. The room was pretty big and convenient. They set up 2 small cots for my kids, which they enjoyed.

Great convenient hotel

Stayed for 4 nights. Hotel was comfortable and clean. Nice breakfast, variety of hot (scrambled eggs and bacon), and cold foods like juices, croissants, yogurt, granola and cold cuts/cheese. One block away from the main shopping street, the hotel location was excellent. Early evening visit by staff to offer coffee, tea, chocolate treat and change of towels. Happy we booked there.
