    Room was rather dark. No staff on site except Cafe so had to go to Hotel Montana a few times for assistance.

    Spacious room for price point, clean, comfortable, conveniently located

    Well, probably the only concern is the room is tiny, but when the idea for your trip is to use the hotel for sleeping, I think it is ok

    The location is really good the hotel is beautiful

    It wasn't clear whether breakfast was included- this should be explicitly stated on the booking. When we asked, the staff member didn't know, so we were directed to go and ask at the partner hotel down the street, who then told us breakfast wasn't included but invited us to pay 25CHD pp for breakfast (we declined!)

    It seemed like we had an unexpected upgrade- the room surpassed our expectations, looked great and was very good value for the location (5 mins walk from the central train station). Despite the location, we had a peaceful night and the road was not busy.The automated check in worked well.

    The automated check in was a nuisance. Having human interaction would've been great, especially to ask for general questions about the area in relation to transport and eating out.

    Clean room with comfy bed.

    They only had single duvet covers for a double bed. There was no secure spot to keep your luggage for a few hours after check out. They had a room that was available to use but anyone could go in and out with no staff controlling that.

    Beautiful decor and great location. The shower gel was very nice and the bed was very comfortable.

    It was a little noisy close to the train and tram station, but nothing that would put us off staying again.

    We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of this hotel for the location and price. Very comfortable bed. Good size room with everything needed.

    Size of room and the way the lights work. It's not really a hotel but a hotel room in a block of rooms. No roof access

    Perfectly located by the train station. Very good price in comparison to others in the city. The room was a little small but very pretty and comfortable. Would stay again if I had to be in Zurich. Check in was over complex and not clear. Baggage storage available.

    Lovely boutique hotel located right next to the train station. The rooms are properly sized and well equipped, the bed was super comfy and it was impressive how, even next to the station, we couldn't hear any sound. In addition, the value you get is quite good compared to other hotels in the area. The automatic check in process is quite seamless.

    I actually never understood the system of the lights. Always ended up lighting up the whole room before I found out the one I was looking for. So call me stupid but this was from intuitive design

    It is just metres from the Mainstation and I did Not need public transport once. It is located in a cute city and you find botiques, food and culture nearby. I was allowed to my suitcase in the luggage room during the day of checking out. This was nice service.

    The bathroom is designed in such a way that if you took a shower, the water spills to the floor outside. Second, all the Nespresso and tea with no water in the machine, so we were not able to enjoy it. The hotel could have easily charged us a few dollars more for the room and provided the water in the machine, which would have made a big difference in the total experience.

    The Midi room was super clean and the bed was so comfortable. Molton Brown range was amazing. Great location.

    The only issue I had was instead of a fridge my room had a wine coolet and not a fridge, this made it difficult to stack food and small items like fruit, and other snacks needing to be keep cool

    I often stay at this hotel in a superior suite, often being twice a year for about 4-5 nights. The location is excellent for most things, has a supermarket accross the road selling everything you could want, train station 5-10 minutes walk away and it has 24 hour automated access so arriving late into the evening is no problem. The hotel guest's are respectful of others (no noise) and it is quiet considering being a city centre location
