Helpful staff. The restaurant below, Papa Joes, were also friendly and took pity on us when we arrived as the kitchen was closing. Good location but worth a ride from the station. Trams go close. ##### Isobel Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Efrain Sep 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The family room is nice both the beds and sofa bed are comfortable and have nice and clean bed sheets.

The rooms are adequate for sleeping and the shower/bath was fairly large. The beds are a little hard for my taste and the pillows completely flat. No AC, but there was a fan which died by the final day. Rooms were clean, but the cleaning staff left the damp/dirty towels from all the rooms that had been cleaned on the stairs between the floors. They were there for 2 days. It was okay for what it is. ##### Julie Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Bhargav Jun 25, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The location is ok but the rooms are really small for a family. Restaurant is good but no AC and small room makes it VERY uncomfortable. ##### Bhargav Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brent Jun 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Quirky but convenient.

We weren’t aware prior to booking that it didn’t have air conditioning. We needed extra fans and had to keep windows open. The morning street noise woke us up bright and early. ##### Jamie Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Lori Jul 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good Value in Zurich Old Town This was the last night of our trip from Italy through Switzerland before flying out of Zurich back to the States. We've been in Zurich before, this was more for convenience, but we were pleasantly surprised. Tiny hotel, kitchy/fun decor, the room & bathroom were bigger than expected. Very clean, full size bathroom, good condition. Option for breakfast at their restaurant was a nice addition. It's at the far end of the Old Town section (from Zurch HB train station), but very walkable to shops, sights, restaurants. There is a metro station 6 minutes away with a train that goes directly to the airport, so very convenient. ##### Lori Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Timothy Mar 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent hotel in a fantastic location. ##### Timothy Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Scott May 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nice hotel, rooms are very warm with no real A/C.

We couldnt feel the fan, there was a portable fan in the room which did help. We djdnt have a minibar as it was being repaired but they offered to keep our milk in their fridge for us whislt reception was open to help ##### Elinor Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Andrew Jun 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I’ve stayed at the hotel California on several occasions. This trip was a one night stay so met the requirements I needed for being close to my meetings and very close to the station. As an American style restaurant underneath if you like that kind of food, but it’s very close to all the restaurants/bars in the old town. The room i had was fine, bed comfortable , towels pretty good and toilet paper adequate. If you’re looking for somewhere to stay in the old town, convenient and fairly well priced, then this is a good option ##### Andrew Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John Aug 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great Place to Stay Great hotel very clean staff very helpful, perfect location.
