This is always my preferred hotel when staying in Zürich. The hotel is very conveniently located in walking distance of Bellevue tram hub and Bahnhof Stadelhofen as well as many good restaurants and bars; it is also 5 minutes from the lake, a great place for an early morning run or to sit and people watch in the evenings especially in the summer. The staff are always very friendly and helpful and the rooms are generally in good order and always clean and tidy. Some of the rooms are a little on the small side with only a single bed but the beds are comfortable and the rooms are okay for one; some of the larger rooms also have a bath which is a bonus!
There is free Internet access but only through a network cable, which is provided, and there is also access to a PC and printer near the lounge area; wifi in the rooms would be my only ask. There is a mini bar in each room and often complimentary fruit, and whilst there is no tea and coffee making facilities in the rooms there is down in the lounge area and in some ways I prefer that as it forces me to leave my room! Breakfast, whilst not cheap (but no more expensive than other Zürich hotels) is always excellent with a good buffet selection of cereal, fruit, bread, cheese, meats etc there is even a hot selection, which you don’t always get in other Zürich hotels in the same category.
All in all I am happy to keep going back to this hotel.
