Some minors considerations
Very closely located to train station which was very convenient. Hotel nice and stylish however bedroom had some wear and tear to decor. Twice I needed help from staff was due to issues with check in machine and with deactivated card - on both occasions the only staff available was the man at the bar. He was very helpful but he had to consult colleague on both occasions for support as he was managing the bar. I felt bad for him and he was helpless and didn’t know how to help which seemed to leave him feeling guilty. I had to walk to sister hotel on one of the occasions to fix card which was only 1 minute away but still may not please everybody. Pillows very soft, and rooms sadly very dark. When you put the lights on there was only the option for full bright lights all around the room or nothing so wasn’t a great ambience. Overall would recommend but with these points in mind.

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.

This was our second time staying here. We love how close it is to the train station as well as the surrounding area. The room was spacious and stylish. I love the Nespresso machine in the room and excellent restaurant below.

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.

6/10 Good

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.

The AC didn’t go below 20C so it was hot in the room. Other than that overall good for an overnight trip
