“For a city as pricey as Zurich, finding a well-located hotel that doesn't sacrifice comfort is a win. The staff's genuine warmth stands out, especially with thoughtful gestures like offering breakfast before service hours. Its proximity to the train station and key attractions makes it a practical choice, while the quiet rooms promise restful nights.”
