8/10 Good
"We stayed here for 5 nights with friends. Rooms are small but clean. The breakfast is good, has hot and cold selections. The surrounding area is quiet with some restaurants and Coop nearby. It is really close to the Zurich HB and if you love to shop, the Bahnhofstrasse is also a short walking distance from the hotel."
