This has been my worst hotel experience so far and I travelled a lot. I’m okay with self check-in, but this should be notified to customers ahead of the time, and states clearly on your website. The self-check-in process is as smooth as it can be, but the European keyboard is not user friendly for international travelers. It takes me quite a few minutes to find “@“ on the keyboard while I was extremely tired and stressed about if I can check in. The water fountain in the lobby has its tap broken. The WiFi is free to connect with no password, but there’s no signage anywhere to notify the customer of how to connect WiFi. When I get to the room, I was glad to see that there’s a water boiler. But guess what, there’s NO plug can fit in. This is rather a silly design. The charging plug issue goes same to the bed, where there’s no plug next to the bedhead, which is extremely inconvenient. No info on the mini bar. There are items in the fridge but no price info can be found anywhere. This is no air conditioner in the room. During my stay, the weather is fine. But I can’t imagine how to survive on a hot summer night. (There is heating system for the winter.) The room has a weird shape (which is ok) but has a mirror facing directly to the bed. This is bad Fengshui, and the reason is that you get startled when you see the mirror in the middle of the night. This is not a pleasant stay rather an escape room test. Overall, I like the concept of super

Friendly staff and very helpful. Full breakfast with a wide range of good food for all discerning travellers. Highly recommended. Easy walk down to old town and central station but if you have heavy luggage I advise to take a tram. If in the morning buy a Zürich day pass for transport and museums etc.

Lack of staff

There was a lack of staff after 5pm, ie no staff at all, so when we arrived at 11:30pm we could not even gt in, let alone check in. Luckily someone let us in and we contacted the staff by a helpline.

This hotel is little far from the central.. You have to walk 5 mins to the tram, then take the number 7 trăm, after 3 stops will get you to the central.. Breakfast is very simple (not much selection), also, rooms are very small compare to the price.

We got to the hotel during hot weather. As instructed online, I called the property the day before we checked in to ensure there would be portable AC in the room. However, we were told only fan is available in the 90+ degree weather. We could not sleep during the nights. Won’t stay here again.

A decent hotel stay

The hotel was well placed just outside the centre of Zurich. The room was good but the bathroom was a little on the small side. The room had good facilities. The breakfast was nice and a decent selection. There was also a few nice touches like having coffee and water available all day.
