This place a great way to get an authentic Swiss experience. The bar downstairs is lively with folk music and happy singing patrons. They play late, so it’s best to just embrace it! Best of all, it is located in the heart of Zurich and near the train station, which makes it very easy to sightsee and get around.
The room is very, very small and has shared bathrooms with the bar. It is more of a hostel set up. Great for a place to sleep for a night or two, but if one was looking for more space to spread out, or a more private set up, they might not be comfortable here.
All said, I’m happy to have experienced staying at the Aelpli Bar!
