Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is a unique gem in the heart of Zurich's Old Town, offering a funky and fabulous stay. The service is exceptional, the location perfect for exploring the city, and the dining experience truly delightful, though the room assignment could be improved.
The hotel's location is ideal, central to restaurants, cafes, and shopping areas, and within walking distance of main tourist sites. The rooms are beautiful, though slightly smaller than before, and offer delightful chocolates. The service is exceptionally friendly and hospitable. The dining experience was mediocre, and the facilities overall were satisfactory.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of pleasant surprises and slight disappointments. The rooms were uniquely decorated with riotously lime-green Eames loungers and thoughtful rose petal touches, though the outside area didn't quite match the non-smoking promise. The service was exceptionally helpful and friendly, catering to our needs like providing baby food. The location was a dream, just a short stroll away from Zurich's main attractions, although the nighttime church bells might disturb light sleepers. The dining options were extensive, especially on Saturdays, but seemed to quiet down on Sunday mornings. Overall, a unique hotel with some quirks worth noting.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location was superb, right in the heart of Zurich, making it easy to explore the city. The rooms were uniquely decorated and special, though being next to the elevator meant some noise. The service was top-notch, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay. The dining experience was excellent, exceeding my expectations. The facilities offered everything I needed for a great stay.
