The room was comfortable and situated in close proximity to the train station, providing convenient access for guests. The hotel offered a mobile application that we used, which proved to be highly practical as it simplified check-in and allowed us to control both the main entrance and room doors.

Nice room

Is a short walk from train station but be prepared that it is up a hill (if going to Zurich again I’d possibly go to the Fred hotel right by the station due to this). Room itself was lovely but note if you want housekeeping there is an extra charge. Check in etc is all digital and felt cool to use an app to open doors etc.
