The room is nice and tidy on the top floor of a building along the river. It has a nice view up and down the river.
If you are looking for a good location from which to explore Zurich, this is a good fit. It is a short walk from the train station (along the river, making it hard to get lost). It is right in the middle of the old alleys and walking streets with small shops. Another short walk brings you down to the lake.
Directly across the river, you will see a large stone wall with a steady stream of tourists (Lindenhofplatz) taking in the view. A great little walk is to cross the river, hike up to the outlook and then return across a different bridge making a circle.
