The hotel isn't right in the old town but is conveniently located near a tram stop that takes you to Bahnhofstrasse with Paradeplatz a 10-minute stroll away. I think the building must have been a telephone exchange or something and is massive. It is well insulated from noise of other guests, and although I was by the elevator I heard nothing. You can hear the tram go by from time to time, though.
The room decoration was modern and hip, but the amenities are minimal. No body or hand lotion, only one paper cup, no iron, no slippers or robe, no coffee maker. There is a safe in the room, but there is a minuscule clothing rack that can accommodate maybe 5 hangers max, and two very high and tiny shelves for clothes. There is no luggage rack although I suppose there is a small wooden bench that could perhaps serve as one. The "separate sitting area" is a lounge chair and a small, round table. If you are here to sight see and travel very light, the room may be fine; but I would not recommend this place for the business traveler as there is no desk.
And the shower drain didn't work well and flooded the tiny bathroom.
The breakfast, however, was a nice buffet spread with many choices. The accessible entrance is not easy to find, and if you don't, you'll have to drag your suitcase up one of two steep stair cases. Better signage would have been nice.
