Lobby service is minimal. But friendly and helpful.

Not the best stay, overall. The key system is cumbersome, there was no air conditioning for a stuffy room. Noisy on account of construction outside. Not enough towels.

We did not know what to expect, but we were so pleasantly surprised by how nice this hotel was. The rooms were large and well appointed, and the location is superb.

They dont have AC even though their site says they have AC and there is AC system they never fixed it so they tell you there is no AC. It was miserably hot. Location is good.

This is a very quirky little hotel. The rooms are clean and the staff I found to be very polite and helpful. One problem there is no A/C and in the summer heat a little fan is not cutting it to cool you down. We personally dropped unlucky with the smell. They were cleaning the drains outside the property and the smell went right through the hotel. Luckily that was our last day. The restaurant downstairs is pretty cool. Staff are very polite and helpful. Its a great location in the heart of Zurich but the hotel itself is a little dated. Still had a great time in Zurich though so no complaints.

In the song Hotel California, the Eagles think to themselves "This could be heaven or this could be hell"...and there's no question that this version of the Hotel California is in some circle of hell. The two stars are for the location - it's good and very convenient - and the pictures of the sleeping accommodations being a fairly accurate representation of them. However, pictures only tell part of the story. What you don't see includes a lack of air conditioning - the windows open and there is a small fan in each room - and the noise. There's a bar downstairs that was quite loud quite late, not to mention its foul odor that permeates through the elevator/stairwell. On a hot night, you're left to decide to sleep in the heat or with the noise. The bathroom also left a lot to be desired - the sink didn't drain properly, the water temperature was completely erratic, and there was hair in the tub when we arrived. It also wasn't cheap! I don't know how the hotel has been rated as highly as it has been...strongly encourage you to find somewhere else!

It all you care about is having a clean room, this place is absolutely fine. Beyond that, it doesn’t have much to offer. The front door is always locked (which makes sense once you check in, but not when you arrive). The staff was not overly accommodating, but weren’t rude either. We requested to have an extra 15 min in our room after check out because it was pouring and we had to wait outside for our driver for the airport….we were told very rudely that we would not be allowed an extra 15 minutes and the housekeeping knocked on our door and tried to come in 5 minutes prior to check out.
Overall, we spent 7 nights in Switzerland in Zurich, Lucerne, and Zermatt. Every other hotel (including another in Zurich) was the complete opposite experience for my family and I, which probably made this review a little tougher than if this were the only hotel we stayed in.

The room was a good size with a decent bathroom and good facilities. The key system was easy to understand and the property was easy to access. The location is great and quite central, with lots of nice food options and things to see nearby, as well as a tram stop close by to get to destinations further away.
Whilst it didn’t ruin the experience, we could hear quite a lot of noise whilst in our room, both from outside the building and from the rooms next to us and the hallway. That was the only downside to an otherwise very pleasant experience, and the location made up for it.

Our stay was OK but I was not aware that the rooms don’t have air conditioning and it was very warm during our visit. On the second night, they provided small fans which helped a bit. Friendly and polite staff, and excellent location.
