Reviews
I would also like to thank Petra from breakfast team who arranged the vegeterian food for us. Very polite and nice person. Also would like to thank lady chef who prepared food for us.
Thank you very much once again guys would love to choose your hotel again when we are in Zurich. Highly recommended to everyone.
Location wise is very strategic. Food & shopping all around.
The hotel is ok. Fully equipped with essentials.
Staff & services provided is good.
There's a restaurant in the hotel, never got to try it.
The bed linen was constantly covered in hair — it looked like pet hair (possibly dog hair), which is absolutely unacceptable. The same issue was present in the bathroom: there was hair everywhere, including in the toilet area, which was very disturbing and unhygienic.
Overall, the level of cleanliness was terrible and far below any acceptable standard. This seriously affected my stay and comfort. I would not expect such conditions from this property and hope management takes this issue seriously.
Recently refurbished, so everything is in great condition. Also a really thoughtful decoration scheme throughout the hotel.
Super helpful & friendly staff.
Breakfast was spot on & we also had dinner at the hotel on one night, which was excellent.
Loved the little extra touches too — the yoga mat, fruit, water, umbrella, and the cute outdoor area. All those small details made the stay feel special. Would happily stay again.
