Located right across the street from the tram (sounds like distant thunder, not an issue) and maybe 10 minutes from ETH, 15 minutes downtown and 25 minutes to the airport. Have to love the trains, exactly on time and easy to navigate. Hotel sells a day pass for 8.20 CHF. From airport, got CHF from machine in adjacent shopping mall bank, and took #10 tram using 'Zurich' option ticket at machine. Even possible to do jetlagged. On way back get off at Flughafen, second stop from end of the line. There's a supermarket 'COOP' downtown by the main rail station Hauptbahnhof. A nice walk straight into city center downhill about a mile, where you can continue along the clean, pleasant river and occasionally encounter a slacker teen rebelling against the extraordinary standard of living here.
Hotel rooms are pretty small, but efficient, and with windows closed, quiet. I was on 5th floor. Breakfast included, and is decent. Internet free and it worked well. Getting in and out of the tub/shower you need to watch your balance. They wash your towels even if you follow their instructions not to by placing them on the rack. Across the street beyond the tram there is a really nice park with gravel running trails, landscaping and ponds. A great place to escape, not overcrowded. All hotels seem expensive, this one is not cheap but is better than most alternatives. Staff is fine. I'd return.
