10/10 Exceptional

Very convenient location, easy check in and out
Joel, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean room in a convenient location. I would recommend staying here. I didn't love that the climate control was locked and we needed to leave the window opened, but that was minor.
Mark, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The location is convenient and the neighborhood also fine, the bar i very cozym though closed on Sunday until noon. Self check in easy and convenient. the rooms are fine. I've stayed twice and I found the rooms not very clean. Dirty windows, dusty at the corners of the desk by the bed as well bthroom floor.
Shirin, 1-night trip

Great hotel close to the train station and in walking distance to the main attractions. Very welcoming staff too.
Hollie, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Love the design of the rooms in this hotel, bathroom was gorgeous and had really nice toiletries - so no need to pack your own. It’s self check in, but that was easy. Very close to the station and in a nice area.
Kathryn, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Property was convent to the train station, nice safe area. The check in process was strange and confusing but the room was ok. The AC didnt work so we had to sleep with the tiny window open. We end up not sleeping much due to all the noice from the train. It’s a trade off.
Tara, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice looking property. Easy 5 minute walk to train station and nearby a grocery store and several cafes. Biggest drawback was lack of air conditioning and train noise, but overall a good experience.

Ian, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I really liked the proximity to the train station and old town area. I thought there were good restaurants nearby and some options for grocery shopping. I thought the hotel room was nice and clean and had what I needed for my stay. The staff was polite, although I wish there was a more clear reception area.

The place was great to arrive to after long haul flying - Check in was super easy and bed was great. Some minor cleanliness issues, I’m not sure it had been vacuumed but otherwise decent.

Spacious, well furnished room. Nice coffee machine. Had a beautiful range of Molten Brown products in the bathroom - including conditioner and body lotion! Would definitely go back.

Great boutique hotel near the central station

I had a great stay at the hotel Josef, two nights on a business trip. The hotel was near the central station in Zurich and it was very comfortable. I'd happily stay again.
