Das Zimmer war mit allem ausgestattet, was man so braucht. Es war alles sauber und ordentlich. Vor Allem die Beton-Optik war ein echter Hingucker, genau wie die im Zimmer integrierte Dusche. Zudem besteht die Möglichkeit das große Fenster ein Stück zu öffnen. Wirklich beeindruckend. Genauso wie der Blick über Zürich. Das Personal war auch sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend :).

Hotel was bery modern and about 20 minutes drive from the city center. An Uber ride is about $20 CHF but a taxi is $60CHF to get to the city center. We learned the hard way! The food was good in the restaurant and the breakfast was plentiful. We were surprised by the moving window in our bedroom on the eighth floor! It actually opens up about a foot to let in outside air, and there is a barrier in front of it, of course. The staff was super friendly and helped us with any questions we might have.

No air conditioning.

The fact that you can’t find the no air conditioner in the rooms on the website is false advertising. Will never stay there again. The rooms don’t have air conditioning, and they don’t have fans, you have to request one from reception. I stayed just one night and left as early in the morning as I could because I was on the 10th floor and my room was very hot. I won’t recommend this hotel because they say it’s about being eco friendly when in reality it’s the company being cheap and trying to save money at the expense of their guests. Not the type of hotel I like to give money to.

The proximity to the railway station and rental rate were the attractions for this retired couple. Our room was clean but bruised. We were disturbed by the debris in the area. The neighborhood gave us the sense of being unsafe after dark. The restaurant next door served a multi optioned breakfast, which a price advantage our the hotel. The hotel staff was outgoing and accomodating.

Excellent hotel. Extremely clean room, bedding, and mattress. Staff was friendly and very helpful in answering questions about where to go eat, etc. The one thing to note that the Expedia listing does not make clear is that there is basically no privacy when taking a shower, which can be bad if you are sharing a room with family or friends.
