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!

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

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.
