If you are looking to be where young and hip folks are and where different eateries are, this is the place for you! The vibe of the hotel is very cool and I liked that there was a reasonable priced breakfast available in the morning. Zurich is expensive, but this cute hotel is not--big thanks!

Amazing!

The welcome I got at the Reception was particularly exceptional. Stayed there the second time, and discovered that it used to be a cinema theatre! The hall's still there, being used as the luggage storage... Great place and the chocolate fountain and the chocolate-themed design are special features :)

Cozy

We were impressed with this newer property having good soundproofing with the windows and blackout curtains. The decor is charming and fun. The room we had was tight, no good place to layout our luggage. The feather pillows are not ideal. If we were staying longer I would have paid for an upgraded room with more space. The room temperature was fine for the chilly weather.
