Comfortable hotel in a great location

Great location, steps from the central train and bus stations, with a team stop right outside. The Swiss national museum is a 5 minute walk as are a tom of restaurants, cafes and shops. Check in via the app was super easy, got a little frustrated with logging on to the wifi (there were 2 options and the obvious open one is the wrong one!), but once logged in was fast enough for movies gaming and maps. We had a junior suite plus for our family of 3 which was overall a good option in this price range and the only issues are more niggles than real problems. Large bathroom, with plenty of towels, definitely big enough for the 3 of us but make sure you bring toiletries as the hotel provides an all in one body wash and shampoo, it smells nice and gets you clean, but that's it, definitely no frills.no wardrobe or drawers, a fair sized rail with a couple of large shelves. Very large king bed with twin single duvets, general vibe was very scandi. Daughter had a double sofa bed and seemed to sleep very well with no complaints. Only 2 chairs at the little table, could have done with one more as after all the room does have a max occupancy of 3. TV had English channels, including one kids channel. Casting didn't work for us as the TV was on a different wifi, the only option was for Samsung phones. Tea & Coffee making is on each floor by the elevator, pod espresso, fruit, mint & black. Didn't try breakfast, lots of places nearby including a Migros daily for fresh sandwiches & groceries.

This is a super clean facility very close to the train station and old town. The room was very large by European standards. Checking in electronically was fast and easy. And the bathroom was large and had a fabulous shower. Would definitely stay here again.

Very pleased with the location as we used the train frequently. Walking to the old town area was doable—maybe 15-20 minutes. Breakfast here was amazing and overall the hotel was very efficient. Staff was a 5-star rating. If it’s your first time in europe, be aware that you will not find the usual amenities such as lotion, refrigerator, etc. Our room size was sufficient but sparse. The a/c was quiet and effective but we were not there during a heat spell. Bed was very comfortable. Also be prepared for the small elevator (we were on the 5th floor). It held 2 of us and our carry-on suitcases.
