Beautiful, quaint, historic property, right on the main street in zurich. You can't beat it for charm and location. Clean, tidy. On the small side, but for the price i think it was great! It can be a bit noisy if your room is in the front and on a lower floor, but nothing a pair of Earplugs won't solve!

Central location, close to everything and breakfast included.
This is a lovely quaint hotel and we liked the room. However we had to check ourselves in and were disappointed with staff insisting on immediate cash payment when we went down for breakfast. The room was prepared for the next guests while we were at breakfast, including personal items being moved. This is not appropriate

Cozy, comfortable. Easy to check in. Staff pleasant. Continental breakfast was good.
Cons-Noisy at night, bathroom issues but usable.
Difficult to locate, you can see the sign in the street, but difficult to locate in the alley. No elevator, we were given rooms in the 4th floor, could you imagine carrying 3 big luggages and 2 carry-ons back and forth from the ground floor to the 4th in a very narrow wooden staircase? Never again will I book in this hotel. Shower holder is broken. Rooms are not soundproof, you can hear your neighbors. Not recommended.
The hotel is located in the middle of the main strasse in Zermatt, close to everything. The property is very old and currently under renovation (I think). The stairway is hard to climb and dangerous, often dark. The walls are bare drywall with exposed wiring.
Our room on the fourth floor had a great view and a large shower, after that nothing good. The bed collapsed during the night, I fell through to the floor. The floors are on a slant and the bathroom has a small dangerous step to the toilet and shower from the sink.
The on property staff is quite rude and showed no interest in the issues with the room. The housekeeper was pleasant and nice and did a good job.
I checked out after the first night and found a new hotel. I have to say the owner, who is off property, did issue me a full refund and apologies. I am very grateful for his generosity.
Perhaps the hotel will be better by next season. I hope so.
