Bed too low and uncomfortable
breakfast, location
bathroom glass wall, light bothered person in bed when used
Very nice hotel, well located near restaurants, shops and the train station
Great location, clean, friendly staff, good variety for breakfast, the lobby was comfortable and complimentary hot drinks when we got back to the hotel.
Bed was hard and room was too warm. Shower needed some maintenance. Soap dish was broken off and the seals were hanging loose.
Very convenient staff were outstanding
Bathroom light lit up the room could not cool off the room
Great location, and amazing staff- super friendly and accommodating!
A little on the small side, but perfect for a few nights.
Close to train station
No power outlets available.Breakfast poor
great location! literally few minutes walk from train station. right in the middle of Old Town. grateful that we were able to check in early. daily housekeeping available.
Needs more variety in the breakfast…noted some black spots around shower walls and door.
Great location, very clean, helpful staff, very good breakfast
Uncomfortable mattress. Tiny bathroom. BathTub converted to shower was challenge to get in/out.
The location of the hotel was very good, very easy from Zurich HB and other transports to and from hotel. The breakfast staff was very good and breakfast was a very good. Hotel staff was very service oriented, addressed our needs and addressed issues with room very quickly.
The hotel room as little smaller than excepted, but workable. There is no air-conditioning in room and a little noisy sometimes when window was open. There we a number of small issues that were addressed by the staff; room was warm, so they provided a good size fan, the safe was not operational until fixed the next day, pants hanger was broken and replace quickly, couple of other things needed attention but quickly addressed by staff. There were no power outlets next to either side of bed, so moved phones and watches to table... a little inconvenient but made it work.
The location of this hotel was perfect for us. It was close to train station so you can walk from the train. There were a lot of restaurants close to hotel
The room was small. Glass bathroom walls don’t allow for much privacy.
1. Good location2. Clean rooms3. Generally very helpful and friendly staff
1. Small room2. Concierge not always providing accurate information3. Need to open window to get some some airflow, letting in street noise.
Breakfast was fun and a nice new experience. Coffee made to order quickly was definitely a perk. The location to walk to so many places plus being close to the train station was the main attraction.
If you are looking for a hotel that is quiet but close to the train station, the Sorell Rutli is a good option. We upgraded from the basic room which I recommend doing. The room is still small but doable with a 2 chair sitting area. Bathroom is miniscule but has a nice ledge for your essentials. Housekeeping staff are exceptional, especially the lady on floor 4 on October 19 and 20. Front desk staff are very personable and helpful also. Location is at the start of the old town area but only 5-6 minutes walk from train - easily accessed over the main bridge from station, very few cobblestones. Google took us some convoluted way over a walking bridge - a supposedly9 minute walk but with a cobblestone walk and then up a hill. It was longer with suitcases. Look at the map and go the sensible way. It is perfectly safe with crosswalks, flat terrain and few cobblestones.
Common area is small. Breakfast is average.
The location is great, the breakfast is very good, everything is new and clean.
It was extremely hot at night - we barely slept. It is loud if you open the windows, and with them closed, it is super stuffy. The AC was blowing warm air even when set for cold. The blankets are extremely hot. Everything is amazing but we had a very poor sleep due to how hot it was, which negatively affected our experience overall.
great location
crazy small rooms. you can’t even move or get around the. filthy old red carpet in the hallways. cant see how the high review score on booking.com is justified. rooms are modern and clean but ridiculously impractical. no bathroom door, lots of shortcuts inappropriate for real travellers.
Breakfast
Parking. No ac. Extremely loud with windows open.
