Location, location, location. The hotel is located in the heart of Old Town and within walking distance to all main areas. 10-15 min walk to the main train station. Staff was friendly too. There was construction outside the hotel but it's out of their control as we saw construction going on around all over Old Town area.

Staff very helpful and nice, rooms small but that is old town Zurich so expected. Breakfast good with variety. Cofffe and tea available all the time and even apples offered throughout the hotel. Very central in old town Zurich. Parking very difficult, but again expected in such a place. Again, staff helpful to help parking.
