You can not get any more central in Zurich than here. Service was very friendly and the rooms comfortable. Amazed how quiet the rooms were considering we were right in the middle of the Niederdorf (Old part of Zurich).

Only good things about this hotel were Domeni and Katharina. Rooms were dirty (first reeked of cigarette smoke and 2nd was dirty). Night front desk manager yelled at me when I asked him to bring me the plug to the tea kettle. He actually came to the room to look for it as if I get jollies from stealing tea kettle plugs. Ridiculous!

I stayed twice. I had a room in the guest house facing an inner green area which was nice. The second time, out of the hotels control, a noisy neighbour was disturbing me. Staff were very helpful in moving e to the main building for a comfortable stay and they did not add any charges. I thought that was very nice.

Due to the heatwave current during our stay the room was very hot and with no AirCon it became necessary to keep the windows open which resulted in a lot of street noise and restaurant "aromas" being part of our stay. The room was clean and neat, I would request to be places in a quieter room next time. Staff were courteous and helpful!

We stayed in the guest house which is in a separate building with out reception or any service, but it was very clean an easy to use. It is situated right in the middle of the old town and easy to get any where. The only problem we had was with the Coffey in the morning. Since we had an early flight we were promised to have complementary Coffey from 6:30 in the morning, which we didn't get until 7:20.
