Good location
I would put this on the level of a Holiday Inn express. The breakfast was a little better than that, but no where close to the breakfasts we had in France. It is located at the end of Niederdorfer St. So if you want to be close to the old town and in the bar and bistro district, the location is superb. There is no parking and you have to park across the river at a rate of about $50 a day. And water costs $9 per pint if you buy it at the hotel.

Close to everything
We stayed only one night but wishing we had more time. Zurich has small town feel in a big city. Public transportation is so easy ! Hotel breakfast was much more than pastry and we appreciated that service.

Our room was small, but very clean and modern. The location was great since Zürich HB was just a short walk. Breakfast was above expectations. Staff was very friendly, bonus points due to our room being ready prior to check in time!

Good hotel to stay local in Zurich; it is clean and comfortable but night staff should work on customer service! That’s my reason for 4 stars

Only stayed for one night, therefore did not have time to enjoy the hotel. Only problem was that we could not work out how to switch off the lights, so ended up unplugging them rather than bothering the staff. Nice breakfast, great location and an essy walk to the station, lake, old town etc.

Don’t stay during warm weather, Bad Air Conditioni
Air conditioning system old and recycled warm air, no cooling. They even have a printed note in your room about it. When I turned it up the noise was like a motorbike trying to start. They know about it but just apologies and was told to open my window!
I slept on top of the duvet as the bed sheet was rough.
Breakfast was okay, no bacon or sausage etc. They offer falafel! Never seen that before…

Staff are generally disengaged and not easy to enquire and request for help.
While the assistanxe are still rendered, the attitude is generally not good or not friendly.
We do enjoy the breakfast and free coffee at the lobby.
