"Nice hotel but with terrible internet speed!!! I stayed there 3 nights and couldn’t download/upload anything! Good restaurant…over priced breakfast The bathroom is inside the room, meaning not a separate room…a bit strange"

"I am so glad we booked here. We were able to check in very early ( for a fee) which was great so we could shower and catch a small nap before exploring old town. They have a great breakfast buffet ( also for a fee) that had a good variety of food."

Hotel Scheuble

Hotel Scheuble

10/10 Excellent
"This was the third hotel near the train station I’ve stayed in in Zurich, and it was the best. The room itself was a good size, good layout, very clean, comfortable, and more modern. It was also quiet (better sound proofing?). Located in the old town, it was both within walking distance of the hotel, the River, and to places in the Alte Stadt that I wanted to go to. It was also very nice and helpful that they allowed me to keep my souvenir Swiss chocolate in their refrigerator. The breakfast was filling and the breakfast room was a pleasant place to eat. I would definitely stay there again, and I recommend it to others."
