Nice enough. Pillows were way too soft with head ending up on the mattress supported by just the pillowcase. Service was nice, and the cafe/bar downstairs was great.

Great location
The stay didn’t start too well when we found the parking was in a public car park 5 minutes walk away. This cost 37 CHF overnight, with the hotel discount. The staff were universally fabulous, lovely check in and explained where all the Christmas markets were. Our room was basic and small but everything worked and was clean. The desk was a good size for a laptop and kettle, all the essentials! The buffet breakfast was surprisingly good with lots of options. The location was wonderful, literally in the heart of Zurich old town so it was aptly named!

I had Second floor room, which was meant to be with a city view. It did not. Very clean good service. The room I was in was dark, in need of brightening up and refresh. Very 1990s.

We had a great time in Zurich. The property is centrally located and within walking distance from all major attractions in the City. The room and the hotel was clean and we especially loved the cafe on the ground floor. We definite recommend this place for someone visiting Zurich for the first time.

Ideally located Zurich hotel
Great hotel, especially the location; couldn't ask for better. Quiet and peaceful, even with the massive amount of street work being done. Bravo! Comfortable room other than: 1. Can't control thermostat to room and they literally have the heat on way too high. We were not the only guests complaining. 2. Pillows were horrible, basically useless. People need neck support when sleeping.
