The hotel is in a very convenient location, with a tram stop nearby and close proximity to Grossmünster, as well as plenty of surrounding shops and restaurants. The room and bathroom were both very spacious and clean, and the bed and pillows were comfortable. They provided thoughtful amenities like slippers, a laundry bag, and a paper bag in the room. I especially appreciated the ample counter space in the bathroom for personal items. Hotel staffs were friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay there again.

Its the perfect location. Near lots of shops and restaurants. Walking distances to almost everything. The down fall if staying more then 2 nights is no English speaking anything on the TV. No new BBC nothing. You come in from all day out and about and would just like to catch alittle on news beside watching you phone.
