The hotel has a prime location right in the heart of the Old Town, which is a definite plus. I found the rooms to be quite small and poorly lit, and the shared restrooms weren't ideal. The service was a mixed bag; while some staff members were very kind and helpful, others could improve their politeness. Although the breakfast was decent, it didn't feel sufficiently replenished, which was disappointing.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is quite convenient, and the staff were friendly, but the room was freezing cold and a bit noisy. The dining experience wasn't great for me, and the facilities could use some improvement. Overall, it's decent for a short stay but has some notable drawbacks.
Rooms

The room was small, typical of many European hotels, but it was manageable for me and my husband. However, it was freezing cold due to being on the top floor with drafty windows. There was an electric heater, but it made weird noises and had a burning smell, so we opted not to use it.

The service left much to be desired. When I asked about parking, the answer was vague, and I ended up driving around looking for a spot. Also, I felt it was a bit much to be charged for a 15-minute late check-out. Not ideal.

I had a bit of a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is perfect for exploring the Old Town and enjoying views of Lake Zurich, which I absolutely loved. However, the room I stayed in was tiny and quite noisy due to the nearby restaurant. The service was helpful at times, but it often felt like they were just doing the bare minimum. On the bright side, I got a bit of a refund that was nice. Overall, it's a decent place if you prioritize location, but don't expect too much in terms of room comfort and dining.
