Exceptional place!
When we checked in to our rooms, we were not happy that we were put in an inside room with a view of the elevator, we had booked canal view. We were immediately moved to the rooms we booked and had a wonderful stay!

East West stay
East West was a super location with a lovely room overlooking the river by the main bridge. Room was a good size and well equpped. Sadly no A/C and it was a very hot weekend, so just the fan was not enough! Also, forgot but swiss hotels dont hsve tea/coffee making facilities which is a shame as well

Minimalist hotel
This hotel is VERY minimalist. No air conditioning. No comfortable place to sit. No coffee in the room. No help at the front desk after 3:00 pm. The restaurant and bar closed at 7:00 pm. The front door is locked at 8:00 pm so you must walk around back and use your room key to get in. The location is good and right on the river, very walkable to everything. Employees were nice.

Great central location. Clean and well kept. Old building is well maintained and has a nice rustic vibe. River view makes for a great atmosphere, but adds a bit of noise, which we enjoyed, but some may not.

Cute place!
Nice a lot along the river. It was a little hard to get to because the street in front was blocked by a Christmas market so taxi dropped off a couple blocks away. Close to metro lines, shops and services. Room was good. Top floor Very squeaky wooden floors. Old historic building. Some staff didn’t speak English but we managed. Also they gave us metro passes for free so that was a real bonus. Picture is a view from our room!

A perfectly pleasant little hotel. It has a lively location, which may or may not be a bonus depending on your bed-time; and air-con would have been nice - but that's not a deal-breaker. I'd certainly recommend it.
