Dated hotel - better options available

Good location close to station and busy shopping street. Hotelnisbtired and in need of renovation. Closer to a 3* than a 4*. Gym is annoyingly off site and only available from 8am-10am on a Wednesday!. Rooms are dated - no USB / Cable slots. Location is good but that’s where it ends I’m afraid. Won’t be staying again.

The hotel is a short 10 minute walk from the train station. Right in the middle of everything overlooking the river. Close to coffee, restaurants, shopping etc. The propery itself is well kept, clean and safe. Fun lobby to hang out in that spills into a restaurant and also into a lounge. We ate breakfast and dinner there (they bring in a guest sushi chef once a week). Breakfast is both continental and full service. Regular dinner has a nimber of excellent choices. Full bar is also available as is outside seating. Rooms are a pretty good size for an older hotel. Very clean. Bathroom was clean and spacious. We will be back here when we return to Zürich. Concierge service via the front desk was extremely good.

The property is ideally located near the train station, so if you have an early flight or an early train, you are right there. There are dining options in the hotel. The staff at check-in was not friendly, borderline rude and ruined the stay for me.

Good hotel overall. I did not find the stuff being too “welcoming “. Very convenient location. Almost next door to the main Zurich train station which made travel to other cities very easy. The room was small but that typical for an European hotels. One thing to be aware is that the rooms which are in the back of the hotel are facing a construction site. The start at 7 am. And some times the noises is substantial. The hidden gem of the hotel is the bar. There was always live music.
