We left from experiencing a really bad Airbnb listing and went to continue our stay in Zurich at The Flag. The Flag is absolutely amazing, and made everything better for us. The hallway and lift smells nice. The room smells so fresh once you open the door. The room is spacious which is a plus point. And the bed is comfy! I don’t understand why the hotel is only 2 stars. In my opinion, it should be at least 4. Will definitely be back!
