“Gasthaus Zum Guten Glueck impressed me as a practical base in Zurich, especially for train travel given its proximity to the station. The shared bathroom setup seems well-maintained, judging by reports of cleanliness, which is a definite plus for budget-conscious stays. I imagine ending the day at the bar downstairs adds to the charm.”
