Big Hotel with Easy Access
Great location and restaurants within walking distance. English speaking staff was wonderful. Very friendly staff. Loved that I could open my window although very loud in heart of city. Hotel restaurant was okay but not great. Very close to Zurich HBF. I had no issues with my reservation or requests. I definitely would stay here again.
