Ruby Mimi Zurich
"The staff was excellent and helpful. The buffet was the same everyday. It was good but not excellent. The first 3 nights were not so good. It was the weekend and a holiday. Therefore, we could hear the sound of very loud motorcycles and sports cars until 3am. This was the only complaint."

"Excellent breakfast buffet but expensive- as is the food in the restaurant, perhaps that’s because it’s Switzerland? Wonderful staff. Excellent luggage storage services"

"We were very dissatisfied with the hotel not having air conditioning. According to their amenities it said they have air conditioning, it’s really only a fan system and we had to keep the windows open because the air was so stagnate. If they advertise AC that’s what you expect. Never again"
