The staff are quick to respond to questions, requests & assistance viq whatsapp. Breakfast is amazing! Guest house has not AC but there is a dyson fan available - we opened the windows & it cooled down quickly. The elevator is the smallest elevator I have seen- it is claustrophaubic, it only fits 3 people otherwise 1 person with luggages😊.
Great location - minutes away from the train station & bus station👍👍 most of our tours starts from this station so we saved time. Overall, we had a comfortable stay at Fred Guest house. Thank you for all the assistance booking us a last minute Lindt Museum tour😊 we had a great time.

the 'closet' were hangers over one of the two twin beds. AC barely worked and was so loud - like a truck going thru the room. No one at desk. Only access to management was via email. everything was via internet: check-in etc. awful.

I had a guest house room which was very basic. I did not like it. The TV did not work and the space was tight. The elevator was very small and narrow. It was not worth the high price i paid but hotels are expensive in zurich.

Staff hospitable and supportive. Excellent location to reach central train station, tour bus and trams across hotel, breakfast with good variety of hot/cold food and available until 10am. Stayed at the hotel side, and paid extra to bigger room. During daytime, easy to locate - beside Starbucks. Nighttime, you need google maps to locate place.
