Cute hotel in a great location with excellent transport links and easy to walk to. Lovely decor and a quiet and relaxing room. Suggest some instructional info be left in rooms pertaining to hidden secret location of room thermostat. Addition of crockery, cutlery and drinking vessel would be useful in room with ‘kitchenette’, otherwise it’s really just a room with an extra sink. (Fridge would be expected in all rooms in a ‘boutique’ hotel). Additional alternative pillows recommended to facilitate support preference of guests also recommended.. not everyone likes a flat pillow. Overall A lovely place to stay 😁

Check in was a little confusing as we were told to use code to access the main door, but the keypad wasn't working. It turned out the door was unlocked, and then we had to use a tablet to check ourselves in and get our key card. Other than that, this place was great! Right next to the central station and within walking distance of a lot of great food and drink options.

Nice deluxe double room next to train station
Nice hotel next to Zurich train station. No contact self check at the cafe. Hotel will send email 24 hours before arrival with pass code for check in. Worth to stay in Deluxe Double room as it was much larger than the standard rooms which were squeezy.

Room was comfortable and nice. It was weird that all of the windows faced the neighbors windows so they could look right in. The place was close to the Metro station and easy to navigate to.

Overall good, but very noisy
Overall it was a good place with cute decor and roomy space. However, the room was very warm and the room fan did not work very well. Also the windows could not be left open at night since the train station was right next door and it would get too loud with all the trains passing. During the day it was noisy due to the nearby construction.

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.

The location is very convenient to the train station and was perfect as a home base for our two days of train travel around Switzerland and early morning trip to the airport for our departing flight. We were very disappointed in the room specifically the lack of storage...no drawers, small "closet" with ONE hanger and some hooks on the wall. The bathroom pocket doors didn't close well and had no latch so privacy when using the toilet was a bit of an issue. I am not sure I am a fan of the self-check in as there really wasn't anyone available to ask questions about the area, dining options etc.
