No real front desk. The first interaction was from someone in the restaurant “what’s your name take your key “ Room was on the 4th floor no elevator and no one offered to help. The room was barely big enough for the bed. We needed an adapter but there was no one to help. We asked at a pharmacy and they helped us. When we told them where we were staying they said “Oh, that’s not a hotel “. We agree

If you want to sleep at night do not stay here. The hotel is rated as a 3 star, but I would give it a 1 star. It’s located above a noisy bar that is loud at night and has no sound proofing. I would not recommend this hotel

Great location, the room was a little bit small but we were out most of the time. r I should add on the street people were singing and laughing late into the night. It woke us up and the kids had a little bit of hard time sleeping.

Excellent location in the city center. Next to the church and the famous Hotel Monte Rosa. With a view of Matterhorn. However, the hotel is a very old wood building with very small rooms, no elevator, no English TV channel and poor WiFi.

The hotel was under construction but nice with an excellent location. The food options around were quite expensive which was expected. We spent majority of a day in the park with an excellent view of the Matterhorn (5 minute walk).

The room was clean and tidy. This would have been a lovely stay however at midnight a drunk man was beating on the doors and screaming. I had to call the police. The problem with the rooms are that there is no door or entrance which safeguards the rooms. Anyone can walk up the stairs and did in this case.

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!

Poor hotel
Totally terrible hotel. There are no signs like Do not disturb. Staff entered our room on 2nd day to change bedsheets. I had valuables inside. On check out day they entered our room when we were having breakfast and took out the sheets and towels. I had not bathed yet. At 7am plus. 2nd time came in when we were in the room at 8am. Why are they coming in when we have not checked out? Bath area is on 2.5 x 2.5 feet.
