A charming European hotel, with very accommodating staff (fluent in English). One of the few hotels with rooms that can accommodate 3 people — a bit cosy, but doable. The restaurant next door is a bit pricey (so’s a lot of Zürich…), but there are a couple of eateries in walking distance, including a terrific, affordable cafe (Remo) less than a minute walk away. There’s also a grocer next door, and a pharmacy a short walk away, in case you need a soda, snack, or sunscreen. The tram stops directly in front of the hotel, and is a mere 3 stops to Zürich’s main train station, which is near the bus stop for a number of tour companies.
You could stay at a big chain place (eg, Marriot) or maybe a ritzier hotel. But for that classic European charm, exemplary service, nice accommodations, terrific convenience, and all at a fair price, you’d be hard pressed to do better. The next opportunity I get to travel to Zürich, I’ll be coming back. I think that’s a pretty solid endorsement. :)
