Ruby Mimi Zurich
The hotel was perfect. It was so cute and very different. The layout of the room was interesting. The only thing I think was kind of weird was that they gave us an option either to have one free drink or have the maid clean my room in the morning

Room was great, the kitchenette was fantastic and saved us bucks. It was like the usefulness of an AIRBNB with the convenience of a hotel. The staff was exceptional. Highly recommend this place. Great value for the money. (Great gummies at the front desk too)
