Loved by guests
"We stayed in one of the smaller rooms which had a comfortable bed with a Hastens mattress and a modern decent size bathroom."
"The location is also great, directly next to a tram stop that takes you to all the necessary places (main station, old town, shopping district)."
"The hotel has a good modern vibe in an old Zurich building, so be prepared to lift your luggage over some steps or to wait for that one old lift in the hotel."
