The staff went above and beyond to help us with whatever we needed. Melanie, Briano, Gabriele, Veronica and Haidar were kind and always very helpful. Always greeted us with a smile. The room was small but very clean, the air conditioning kept the room as cool as we wanted it to be, the location of the hotel can not be beat. The bus station and train station where all of our tours started were in close walking distance. We would stay here next time without a doubt. We didn't eat breakfast there so I can't comment on that but I'm sure it was good. Starbucks and other restaurants are close by and the train station has lots of shops and more places to eat. I can not say enough good things about staying here.

Clean room but on the small side. The single bed was a bit low. But very quiet which was surprising as it is so close to the main station.

Great place to stay to be near the Zurich HB station - easy to get around, convenient and room is just what you need for a one or two night stay. Nothing fancy, not very big, but good location for good price.
