Worse customer service experience
I had the worse customer service experience I have ever had. The hotel is not as expected and they were not concierge/receptionist to complaint about the lack of wifi, the cleaniless et poor amenities. Hotels. Com did not manage to contact the hotel and I am still waiting for my refund for the remaining nights. Very bad experience.

The main appeal of this place is: location, location, location! is right by the riverfront and tons of shops, bars, restaurants and cafe. Yes, the rooms are small but that is the price you pay for the great location.

Nice short stay hotel
Nice little hotel tucked under a restaurant. Room was big enough for two people. Simple and basic setup in the room was enough for a short stay. Good location for visiting old Town and the nearby areas in Zurich

Not bad
Heads up the floor shares one bathroom, and without that fan, the room would have been way too hot. The lady at the front desk was very nice, and you can't beat the location for the price.

When i reached the hotel at early evening,manager told me that they had canceled my room and it was Expedia Responsibility to inform me.When i politely asked him the reason for which he cancelled my reservation,they could not give me a proper reason. I Realized that i was on the hook as it was evening and finding a hotel would be very difficult in Zurich,so i asked ,if there was a more expensive room available,they readily came out with a room on extra payments. The Email which i sent to Expedia about my experience was forwarded by expedia to the hotel manager the same evening,so when i went to reception to get something,the manager/owner told me that he was very unhappy with me and was thinking of throwing me out of the hotel,but later had changed his mind because i was a senior citizen The small individually owned hotel management sometimes do these things ,and as they dont belong to a Hotel chain,can be very rude and do Arm twisting to increase their revenue,knowing it very well that you cant complain to their bosses as they themselves are the owners

I was only on a one day layover, I'm VERY glad it was only 1 night. I had a room with a private bathroom for one of the cheapest prices in Zurich, which is very expensive. I got there and found that they use the generic "bathroom" to mean toilet. Every room has a private toilet, the showers are on the 5th floor. So I asked for a room with private shower. They have only two in the place, and I managed to get one. They upped the ante to chf 210 for one night. For about chf 225 I could have been at a best western with which I was familiar and is much better. The room had a private shower (the door was taken off the shower stall) and toilet with sink. The room was small, as is expected in Europe, especially in older places. It was very clean though the bathroom was clean just not up to the rest of the room. Overall, I was very disappointed, and for the extra 15 francs I'd have been much better off at the Best Western only a few blocks away. The woman at the desk was very helpful though, did whatever she could. Kuddos to her. They say there is a restaurant, it is closed and up for rent, but there are plenty within walking distance. It is about 4 blocks from the train station so heading to the airport the next day only cost 9 francs as opposed to over 60 for a cab.

Leaves a lot to be desired.
There were large black hairs all over the floor. There was a toilet in the room. The room was on the 3rd floor and the shower was on the 5th. Unless you are paying under 60chf, I would not book this hotel.

worst hotel ever
worst hotel i have stayed in throughout the world. taxi had to leave bags on the street tnad we had to take them them uklp the stairs because registration is on second floor without elevator. No breakfast, no air condition, very noisy recommendations is to run and hide if this hotel is offered. best that can happen is for prroperty to be sold and start again. too bad because is in good central location.
