The service was impeccable, no request was too much for the amicable front office staff. The beverage station on every floor was a great touch. Previous reviews mentioned the sound of church bells to be disturbing at night, but we found them to be soothing and not inconvenient. Loved the design concept running through the hotel and we look forward to exploring their sister properties.

It was my first experiment at the hostel. And it was amazing, I haven't met such nice staff. This hostel is better than some hotels, it was very stylish, cozy and clean. In the guest room I met many travelers, had a very good time. I recommend it from the bottom of my heart.

The house was renovated and well maintained. Although the location was a bit farther away, it was easily accessible by public transportation. The hosts offered free early check-in, which we really appreciated, and communication was excellent throughout our stay. They also provided for free cards for public transport.

The services were even better than I had imagined: everything was very clean, very efficient and I was provided with all the things that I needed. The location was ideal, some minutes away walking distance from the cental train station as well as from a public transport stop for the city center. The staff was extremely polite with me and amazingly helpful to all the requests of mine. I would totally recommend it and stay there again!

This was a very clean, decent hotel and for a pretty good price by Swiss standards. The room was spotless and the bathroom seemed newly renovated with a powerful, warm shower. The location was a 15min walk from old town and around 25 from the sbb which was fine for me but there are trams nearby if you don't fancy it.
