“Located in the heart of Old Town, this boutique hotel stands out with its themed rooms crafted by local artists and its cozy café, a local favorite; however, keep in mind that rooms can be compact, and some may find the lack of air conditioning an issue during warmer months. All considered, it's a family-friendly base from which to explore Zurich's cultural attractions and the nearby lake.”
