My wife and I booked one night here during a one-day layover during a trip from the states to Italy based on the recmendations in one of the travel books we picked up at Barnes & Noble. It is now 3:30 am as we write this unable to sleep because of the noise coming from the first floor. When they... More

Kafischnaps is definitely the place to stay if you like somewhere quirky and fun, with a happening bar and cafe downstairs...

There are some reviews on TP where guests are complaining about the music downstairs. I think this makes the charm of this hotel .

I had planned to stay three nights at the Kafischnaps (and I had to pay for that), but I left after the first night because it was virtually impossible for me to stay any longer: My room was directly above the bar/café which turned out to play music as loud as a club, with aggressive beats and until half past...

We arrived in Zurich in the midst of a heat wave of about 90 degrees, so we were disappointed that Kafischnaps, a pension in Zurich, did not have air conditioning. However, we checked in during the morning and were able to shower (shared but immaculately clean bathrooms). The room was sparse but adequate. They didn't change the bed (duvet and... More
