The staff was very friendly but the room itself was fine. The shower did not work at all, limiting us to only a bath and the bed and pillows were terrible. The perk of this place is the great proximity to the train station and old towne.

The staff was friendly. Check-in was easy. The location was great! Ten minute walk from central train station. The room was clean and quirky, like the hotel. The room itself was not well lit and the pillows were flat. Because we were there in December we didn't have to worry about the a/c.but it was still warm

Incredibly close to the Zurich HB train station, so getting in from the Zurich airport was so easy. We had our luggage held while we walked through old town and found something to eat. Housekeeping staff was phenomenal and we were able to check in a little earlier and got to grab a couple of hours of sleep before we ventured out again!! We would definitely stay here again.

The location of the Swiss Chocolate Hotel was great, just a 5 to 10 minute walk from the train station. The Polybahn (funicular that takes you up the hill with views overlooking the city) was just a two minute walk around the corner. There are many restaurants and shops throughout the old town. The friendly hotel staff provided us with excellent restaurant suggestions. Our room was clean and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.
