Great location, the room was a little bit small but we were out most of the time. r I should add on the street people were singing and laughing late into the night. It woke us up and the kids had a little bit of hard time sleeping.
Excellent location in the city center. Next to the church and the famous Hotel Monte Rosa. With a view of Matterhorn. However, the hotel is a very old wood building with very small rooms, no elevator, no English TV channel and poor WiFi.
When you visit the property do not carry big baggage

The hotel was under construction but nice with an excellent location. The food options around were quite expensive which was expected. We spent majority of a day in the park with an excellent view of the Matterhorn (5 minute walk).

Basic property. No stairs. Definitely dated and older but clean and works! One of the cheaper options in zermatt and had a 4 person bed room.
The room was clean and tidy. This would have been a lovely stay however at midnight a drunk man was beating on the doors and screaming. I had to call the police.
The problem with the rooms are that there is no door or entrance which safeguards the rooms. Anyone can walk up the stairs and did in this case.
Beautiful, quaint, historic property, right on the main street in zurich. You can't beat it for charm and location. Clean, tidy. On the small side, but for the price i think it was great! It can be a bit noisy if your room is in the front and on a lower floor, but nothing a pair of Earplugs won't solve!
Totally terrible hotel. There are no signs like Do not disturb. Staff entered our room on 2nd day to change bedsheets. I had valuables inside. On check out day they entered our room when we were having breakfast and took out the sheets and towels. I had not bathed yet. At 7am plus. 2nd time came in when we were in the room at 8am. Why are they coming in when we have not checked out? Bath area is on 2.5 x 2.5 feet.

Central location, close to everything and breakfast included.
This is a lovely quaint hotel and we liked the room. However we had to check ourselves in and were disappointed with staff insisting on immediate cash payment when we went down for breakfast. The room was prepared for the next guests while we were at breakfast, including personal items being moved. This is not appropriate

Cozy, comfortable. Easy to check in. Staff pleasant. Continental breakfast was good.
Cons-Noisy at night, bathroom issues but usable.
Difficult to locate, you can see the sign in the street, but difficult to locate in the alley. No elevator, we were given rooms in the 4th floor, could you imagine carrying 3 big luggages and 2 carry-ons back and forth from the ground floor to the 4th in a very narrow wooden staircase? Never again will I book in this hotel. Shower holder is broken. Rooms are not soundproof, you can hear your neighbors. Not recommended.
