Riken Vacations from ￥257,378

Friendly staff and very well located if you’re a tourist.

The hotel towels in our room look worn and very thin. The bath towels are fairly small, about 2/3 the size of the regular towel size. Some of the towels are gray/off white instead of white. The AC unit blows air directly to the left side of the bed which made me sneeze badly. It also makes noises like dropping sand to metal, waking us up a couple of times during the night.

This hotel gets 5/5 for location. It’s so convenient for any visitor to Zurich (1 min from Zurich HB (the main train station), 8-10 mins from the Aldstadt (old town). It’s brilliant for location and convenience, staff are friendly and the rooms are clean. The only reason I would rate this hotel 4/5 is because the air conditioning didn’t work. They brought me a fan and I had to leave my window open which was fine to lower the temperature but then I got street noise. I was in a room on the 1st floor. Apart from this, great value for money and most importantly the location is super convenient for sightseeing, training to near by other cities and countries as well as for walking to the old town.

The staff are all very nice and friendly. Breakfast is good and Ruth is outstanding.

Centrally located, polite staff, quiet rooms with blackout drapes and AC. Bathroom was modern and clean. Rooms and general facilities are dated but clean. A good base to explore from.
