Quaint hotel in Zurich with all the charm and amenities. Located on a side street just up from the canal. Lots to eat, shops and right at the base of Lake Zurich. Loved the old key system for the rooms. Great restaurant in the hotel for an afternoon beverage and snack. Breakfast available as well.

Good stay

Room was quirky with its design but very roomy. The bed was not very comfortable and the pillows were very deflated. Would recommend a curtain on the tub shower. Restaurant was good and the continental breakfast was great.

Parking was a bit of a charade. No parking onsite however it is about 5 mins. After arriving, our host said we were able to pull up outside the hotel for a few minutes to pack the car. Just know, it does look like a pedestrian walkway but you can drive on it!
