This hotel is quite unique. The atmosphere is lovely and the rooms, despite being very small, are very cute and cosy. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. The position is great! Would go back.

Hotel Scheuble
I wish the had better toiletries for the shower. The shower also tended to exceed the limits and spread water on the floor. We had to be careful in that respect, and wasted a lot of towels to keep it contained. Otherwise the room was comfy. We had a balcony which was sweet. Staff was very friendly ...

Central Plaza Hotel
Room was small but adequate. Renovation work continued into the late evening making it too noisy.

Motel One Zürich
Staff were very friendly and helpful. Location is pretty good. Public spaces were nice. Was given a room opposite the elevator and could hear noisy conversations as people gathered here. Borrowed an iron which was faulty and didn’t work. Breakfast was poor for the price paid.
