I absolutely loved my stay at Zurich's Ruby Mimi Hotel! This swanky, modern, and trendy hotel will be my go-to spot whenever I am in Switzerland again. It's located within easy walking distance from the main train station, and you can pretty much get around the entire town by foot. The hotel is in a safe and bustling location that's close to shops, services, and restaurants.
Check-in was very easy and casual, done at the desk in the funky lobby on touch pads. There's a popcorn machine (help yourself), and a really nice bar in the lobby, so make sure you take a minute to grab an overpriced cocktail! At check-in, we were offered a glass of sparkling water (nice touch) and soon we were off to our room.
The hotel has elevators and is very modern. Our room was eclectic, but delightful! Our room was very small, as is the norm, but was well laid out. You could tell they are making the smartest use of space possible, as every single inch of square footage served a purpose.
The bed was soft and comfortable, with plenty of pillows and high quality linens.
The shower was a glass box right in the middle of the room. You could leave the curtains open or not, but note that this might not be the best option if you are sharing a room with friends or family who want privacy. The shower was equipped with a very nice and powerful rainfall showerhead that proved to be our favorite shower in our entire trip to Europe.
The room had funky touches like dimmable lights and an electric amp in the room if you wanted to borrow an electric guitar from the front desk! The room didn't have a lot of counter space or a closet, but it worked great for a two night stay. The windows opened fully as well, which was nice for some fresh air.
Our room was located on the same floor as the hotel's movie lounge, which was so incredibly well done! Every night, movies are shown on their big screen. A posted schedule is on the door. Each floor also has a complimentary galley area with hot tea and coffee available 24/7.
From the art deco architecture to the very comfortable rooms, I loved everything about the Ruby Mimi Hotel. This is one of Zurich's gems. read more
