A cute little mountain inn. The floors in the guest rooms are beautiful bare wood --- there's a…read moreshoe rack to put your boots. Bring sabots or slippers! Bathrooms are on the hall; the place was mostly empty when we stayed, and there was never a line, but there's certainly a limited supply. There's a small children's play room on the first floor, with some pint-size couches and a well-stocked bookshelf covering about 8 languages. The restaurant has some Indian leanings and doesn't serve red meat, but does serve chicken. For both the rooms and the food, service was very friendly but a bit slow --- plan ahead and don't expect to swipe your card and run to the train.

I'll start off by saying that during our European trip, we stayed in 7 different hotels. This hotel…read morewas one of the top 2 of our favorites. It's very charming once you enter. I'll agree with other reviews (on TripAdvisor), that it does feel more like a bed & breakfast and not so much a "fancy hotel". We stayed in room #46 and was actually shocked to see that the room key was an actual "key". We get so used to those cards that you just slide in to unlock the door. Anyway, we climbed up the stairs and it does feel like you are at somebody's house. There is a lift/elevator, but it's quite small. The hallways are dim, but once you enter the room, it was much larger than I was expecting. You actually enter into a hallway with closet space on the left with the bathroom to the right and then through another door leading into the bedroom. I guess that was nice to block out any noise coming from the main hallway (if other guests are coming in late or making a lot of noise). The rooms don't have much décor and are very plain with white walls, and white sheets. Who needs any décor when you have such a spectacular view though!! We had a small balcony overlooking the lake and mountains. It felt so unreal and so beautiful. You seriously could not get sick of that view! Absolutely breathtaking! The one thing I will point out is the shower is so small! I honestly don't think a large set person would be able to shower in there. Also, if you drop the soap... that's it! haha. So WiFi is not free. We paid 20 Swiss francs for 1 hour of WiFi. They give you a code to put in. Honestly, I thought that was a pretty good deal. We were so exhausted from the day's events that one hour of internet was pretty much all we needed before we knocked out. It's just long enough to check your email, Facebook and post a few photos on Instagram. Breakfast is included and it was decent. Croissant, bread, eggs, yogurt, juice, cold cut meats. The staff here was pleasant and they were welcoming to us. The hotel is not far from town. My husband and I took a walk and strolled around the shops and restaurants and also to the bridge. A lot of the shops there are not open late and we even stumbled into a McDonald's where they had burgers on bagels and McFlurry with Toblerone and Ovaltine. Haha.. awesome. The hotel also gives you a packet with coupons and you can take one of the coupons into town and get a free Rolex spoon! If we were to come back, we would definitely consider staying here again.

There is no reception but you get a code to enter at the door when you arrive & when you enter the code you will get a physical key to get into your apartment/room.

This was a fantastic value. It was by far the cheapest accomodation I found in Zurich, so I was…read moreskeptical at first, but was pleasantly surprised upon arrival. The rooms are very clean and some basic soap is provided. It was perfectly comfortable for my two night stay. The real highlight of this place is the location - I didn't have to take any public transit the whole time I was in Zurich apart from to and from the lodge to the main train station when I arrived and departed (so you save even more money just by nature of staying here because transport isn't very cheap). It's so centrally located that I was able to walk or bike to every site I wanted to visit. It's also in a neighborhood that seems to be popular amongst young professionals - plenty of bars and relatively less expensive restaurants and takeaways, by Zurich standards. I will certainly stay here again when back in Zurich!
