I selected the hotel because it was extremely close to the Central Train Station of Zurich (8 to 10 minutes, walking distance), easy to find, located at the very beginnings of the Old City. Everything was clean, the building is old, but well taken care of, the service is good. more

I stayed here for one night, room was very clean and tidy, had some weird sculpture thing on the wall of a man's buttocks that was kind of freaky! Didn't find the shared toilets or shower a problem. In a good location if you want to be close to everything in Zurich, but like others said it's basically a glorified... more

I enjoyed the rock and roll themed rooms and such - it was fun yet not overdone. Rooms were small and sparse but clean. Staff was friendly. The hotel is along a pedestrian-only street which was very enjoyable with tons of cafes, restaurants, and shops nearby. Zurich is a wonderful city, but very expensive. The river has the cleanest water... more

or in this case a bunkerbed in the heart of the city. Easy to find the way home after a long night out. more

I have just spent five days staying at the Zic Zac (I'm working here on business for a few weeks fyi). OK, first things first - this is Zurich, one of the most expensive cities on the planet, if you didn't know that before you came, then you are indeed a naive traveller and in for a massive shock. I'm... more

We were supposed to stay here for two nights at the end of August 08. The lobby seemed shabby and dated. You can also apparently smoke anywhere in this hotel, so it is quite smelly. We had a twin room with shared toilet. The room had a weird smell. The wallpaper was torn and the TV had tape on it... more

Rooms are clean. Toilets and shower are shared. At night it can be noisy outside. But with closed widows its quite. I had a big Problem with the Staff. My booking agent booked me one day to short. As I tried to so solve this on the reception, the only answer I got was: We don't care! Go some where... more

I have read the reviews of the hotel and understand the view that it is a budget hotel. My experience was however coloured by the fact that we were intent on having a nice room and paid to have a double room with en suite - double the price of a standard room. First impressions were not good. We were... more

I stayed here in Dec. of '05. I took a cab to & from the airport, which cost about $50 1-way. The hotel was in a great location. Wonderful pubs, coffee shops, hip stores. A short walk away was a fun "oompa loompa" band. I went twice. Nice walk along the river down to the train station. When I was... more
