Zurich is expensive. This place was fine. Road a little loud. Entrance a bit rough but room was clean and communication good. Ok for a cheap hub to go out and explore from.

Kitchen lacked utensils. No shower curtain water went on the floor. Sink didn’t drain well. Cleanliness was poor gum on bathroom door. Front door didn’t lock on building. Smoke detector had no battery. TV didn’t work. Toilet seat was loose. Location was good. Wouldn’t take much to improve the facility.

I chose this place for a specific reason, which was the distance from my friends staying in an apartment close by. So my only requirements were a good night sleep and cleanliness without breaking the bank since I was only for 30hrs in Zurich. The property matched all of them.

Verified review

2/10 Poor

Dirty rooms and very poor customer service. The photos on the website looked completely different from what we found in reality. The room was in bad condition, and several things were not working. The shower barely worked, and the sink faucet had little or no running water. The customer service was extremely rude. When we called to ask for help, they hung up on us instead of trying to solve the problem. Overall, it was a very frustrating experience, and I would not recommend staying here.

2/10 Poor

I don't recommend staying at this location. While i have to say the place was clean, the room didn't have air conditioning and not even a fan. I felt I was sleeping in a sauna and you can spend more than 20 minutes in the room during the day. The heat is unbearable. In addition, the room did not have curtains to make things worse. So zero privacy, all lights are pointing at your face while you are tying to sleep in a room that is 100 degrees hot inside.

2/10 Poor

Avoid - went to stay for 1 night, check in was online and a code sent which was fine. But as soon as I got there… WOW apartment 301 - up 3 stairs cases, with 2 kids under 4. No AC, and it was a spacious apartment split over to floors, 1 double bedroom at the door and 1 up a set of stairs, which the bathroom door opened up onto. There was a shower built into a wall next to an open hiding place that was used as storage. The cooking facilities, exposed wiring under the cabinets and a fridge that wasn't turned on or clean and when opened the smell was unbearable. So had no option but to leave within 3 hours of checking in and booking elsewhere. Fine for adults, but not for children… also the soundproof doors on the bottom floor as you walk in were strange. Such a shame as location is ideal. Tried to discuss with hotel via hotels app and just been ignored.

6/10 Good

Overall, it was a decent place to stay, but there were definitely things that could use improvement. The floors, and especially the dishes, were not that clean. One pot even had a little water in it and it was starting to get moldy. It was nice to have a little kitchen to cook in, however, they have a very limited number of things for you to use. There were no spoons, and no salt or pepper. There were no curtains on the glass doors to the balcony, and the window was a little broken at the top so that it almost fell in on us when we opened it to get try to cool off the room. The shower completely quit working, just shut off mid-shower. Thankfully it was our last night there and not a huge deal. The bed was definitely not super soft. It's on a pretty busy street corner, so when the doors and windows are open to cool off the room, it's pretty loud, but with everything closed it's not bad.

The room was very disappointing and would not suit light travellers as there was no amenities other than a small bathroom, a sink and an outdated half a pillow. No kettle , no air conditioning or fan, no basics, broken iron and small table.Taps were loose , black mould in the bathroom, shutters broken and propped up so the sun comes in. All day. Toilet seat not fastened , no thing whatsoever in the kitchen other than 1 sponge . Entrance and stairs dirty . Room stinking hot , we had to buy a fan. Would not recommend .

Value for price

Only booked this because it was close to an event I was attending and was happy at the price. I was surprised by all the in-room amenities because I want looking for that. A person staying longer would have benefited from the kitchen, dining table and ironing board. I was impressed by the large bathroom including a whirl pool bath tub.

Verified review

2/10 Poor

When I entered in a room allocated, many items in the room were broken or missing. The door of a closet was broken. A window shade was always half-closed and could not be moved which made a room very dark even in the daytime. One of the bed lights did not work. There was no shower curtain which caused a bathroom entirely soaked every time the shower was used. I asked a managing company to fix and prepare these items immediately or to provide another solution. The company answered that it had reported the issues to their technician so that they could be checked and addressed as soon as possible. But nothing happened. I asked the company again but no response. In addition, the handle of a pot in the mini kitchen was missing and the curtains of the windows were very dusty.

TERRIBLE PLACE TO STAY.

The “hotel” was terrible. When we got into the hotel there was water all over the floor. Afterwards the next morning, the ceiling was leaking all over the floor in front of the bathroom door. You can hear everyone coming in and out of the hotel as the door slams really loudly. There is a cigarette smell that comes from leaving your window open but if you close it there is no fan, ac, or ventilation in the room.

Fine for a short cheap stay. But otherwise - Black mould. No soap or dish soap to wash anything. The kettle and some appliances can’t be plugged in because they don’t supply adaptors. And a lottt of spiders.

Had no power for our whole stay

Turned up after check in and the room hadn’t been cleaned. Power went out within our first few hours of being there, contacted the helpline multiple times and they said they’d send out an electrician. They never did! Spent the whole trip with no way to charge phones in our room and no lights!

Poorly maintained Fan so broken and out of balance that it couldn’t be used Shower head hose broken and sprayed all over the bathroom Was advised routine maintenance was to occur during my stay, so I told them about these issues, but nothing happened Was advertised as daily maid service. Didn't happen The common area is filthy. If you a light sleeper, I suggest staying somewhere else. The trolly tram runs directly outside
