Superior service. We were very catered to and every request was met with a smile and an eagerness to fulfill. The hotel could not have been in a more convenient proximity to the train station. Although we were there for less than 24hrs, it made such an impression that we are yearning to go back.

Lovely visiting the Christmas Markets in Zürich.

We had a very nice stay at the hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful when we asked advice etc. We used the hotel bar most nights of our stay and also had a lovely meal in the restaurant. The location was perfect for the railway station and a short walk into the main town areas.

This hotel is right in the heart of the Banhoffstrasse and across from the main train station. It is a very charming hotel with exceptionally friendly and knowledgable staff. The welcome drink is a very nice touch and our room had a fruit basket and chocolates to greet us. I would stay here again!
