Chambre très très petite, chaleur épouvantable. Pour la climatisation, on devait placer un tuyau dans la fenêtre et l’attacher afin qu’il ne tombe pas. Hôtel situé dans un endroit très passant et bruyant. Nous avons changé d’hôtel après une nuit. Les photos ne représentent pas le lieu.

We loved our stay. Our room was one of the 5th floor apartment style rooms which was unique and let us spread out a bit. The kitchenette was welcome. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed the decor. Safe convenient area. Easy walk to the main train station and a large Coop.

It’s a good property except of 1 thing for me which is the portable air conditioning as it was so loud. I was told that the built in ac isn’t working because the building is old. We had to turn that machine off before sleeping because of the noise. Positives - walking distance to old and central are including Zurich HB + Dining options around. People at the Reception was nice too.

We were on the top floor and the air conditioner did not work. Had to sleep in 80° plus room. They did give us a small portable unit that didn’t help. Pretty miserable experience.
