Dear Mark O, Thank you very much for taking the time to write such a detailed review of your experiences in our boutique Hotel Montana. It is important for us to receive this feedback in order to improve and maintain our high standard of service. Furthermore also for your fellow travellers, it is great to read the advantages of our hotel. The City Tax of CHF 2.50 is collected by every hotel in Zürich. Unfortunately we cannot control weather the online booking platforms include it in their rates. We very much hope to welcome you back soon. Best regards W. Kuhlmei
