Rooms are very small, expensive and not worth the value, no soap and shampoo, shower can be tripped hazard, hotel is located on major main bus/railway station which causes continuous noises. Receptionist was not friendly.

Nice property and services. Shower was quite small and bathroom was small. Rooms were nice but on the smaller side even for Switzerland.

Great Location, numerous eating options right in the heart of old town and less than a 10 minute walk to the Banhof! Very safe area as well. Room was clean, European spartan, but everything you need. Check-In/Check-Out was very simple.

We really enjoyed our stay. Location is fantastic. Staff were friendly and helpful. Check-in was easy. The room was very clean. My only suggestions would be to provide some drawer space (for example, a working night table rather than the decorative one) and have firmer pillows available.

We had a one night stay at the Swiss Chocolate at it was lovely. Such a fun quirky hotel, with an ample supply of chocolate in the fountain. My room was a single room with a lofted layout, which i needed to be careful at night during any descents to the bathroom. The room was very clean and had the amenities i needed to be comfortable.

If you are looking to be where young and hip folks are and where different eateries are, this is the place for you! The vibe of the hotel is very cool and I liked that there was a reasonable priced breakfast available in the morning. Zurich is expensive, but this cute hotel is not--big thanks!

The welcome I got at the Reception was particularly exceptional. Stayed there the second time, and discovered that it used to be a cinema theatre! The hall's still there, being used as the luggage storage... Great place and the chocolate fountain and the chocolate-themed design are special features :)
