Hotel Scheuble
"Very good location to be able to explore Zurich. My only comment is to be aware that the bathroom in the room (at least that we stayed in) may not be what western cultures are used to. Sliding glass doors allow ALL sounds to echo into the room! Lol! If you are not modest, it may not be a big deal ..."

"The room design was a bit too clean no room for clothes and bags. Space in room 409 between door of bed and was dangerously tight. Considered redesign"
