The hotel is situated conveniently walking distance from numerous restaurants, the main shopping street, and the train station, making it ideal for exploring the old town and taking leisurely strolls to the lake. The rooms were very nice, and the staff was extremely polite and accommodating. However, there were some concerns about the cleanliness of the linens upon arrival.

Staying at this hotel was a great experience overall. The rooms were warm and cozy, equipped with most amenities for a comfortable stay, although they could get quite warm, especially in summer. The friendly receptionist and excellent location added to the positive aspects of this hotel, while the breakfast, although adequate, could use a bit more variety. I enjoyed my time here but bear in mind the room temperature if visiting in hotter seasons.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and pleasantly decorated, yet they lacked basic amenities like an electric kettle or coffee maker. The service was top-notch with very kind and thoughtful staff who even accommodated an early check-in request. The location was ideal for exploring Zurich, though the issue of stained linens did detract from the overall comfort. The dining experience was enjoyable with a nice selection of breakfast items. Overall, a good stay with a few minor drawbacks.

The hotel is in a perfect spot in the city center, near the river and close to all main attractions. The rooms are modern, clean, and very comfortable, with a lovely bed and pillows. The service was exceptional, accommodating our early arrival and always providing helpful suggestions with a smile. The dining experience was superb at the Helmhaus with fresh food and extremely friendly staff. The location is excellent, allowing easy access to both tourist and business areas in Zurich. However, the dining options were just okay and nothing extraordinary despite advertising. Overall, a great value for money with friendly staff and a fantastic location.
