Staff very helpful and nice, rooms small but that is old town Zurich so expected. Breakfast good with variety. Cofffe and tea available all the time and even apples offered throughout the hotel. Very central in old town Zurich. Parking very difficult, but again expected in such a place. Again, staff helpful to help parking.

Location, location, location. The hotel is located in the heart of Old Town and within walking distance to all main areas. 10-15 min walk to the main train station. Staff was friendly too. There was construction outside the hotel but it's out of their control as we saw construction going on around all over Old Town area.

Perfectly situated in Old Town between Christmas villages at Opera house, train station & church. 10 minute walk to Singing Tree. Patient knowledgeable staff (Elias, Mark, & Oscar). Delicious American breakfast included. Room size typical for Europe. Free water (sparkling/still) & coffee in lobby 24/7. Steps to restaurants for every taste. Clean, clean, clean.

Staff at this hotel were awesome! As a tourist didn’t speak the language and had never been to Zürich before, they were so helpful! Loved the availability of fresh bean brewed coffee, and the location in the old town. Near a tram stop and Christmas market. Very convenient. Loved it.

We had two stays at Hotel and experienced two different rooms. Both rooms had an unpleasant smell - seemed like the smell was from past cigarette smoking. The rooms were small and did not seem to have great air circulation. The hotel has a great location and staff were very helpful. Breakfast was also good, though the breakfast room was small for the number of guests.
