Works for the price. Some reviews are overly showing this in bad light, but it's close to a railway station, so easy for transportation. The area is slightly shady but there are kids playing around and it's still very safe

AVOID!! The balcony is shared with other apartments, so not safe to leave the balcony door open to cool the room as there is no fan or air conditioning. The front door of the apartments was wide open, not locked. The bathroom fan did not work so after a shower it was like a sauna. The bed was like sleeping on a wooden floor. It was dirty, smelly and overall disgusting. Save your money and book somewhere else.

Horrific

We arrived. The door to our room was wide open. Bag of garbage and dirty sheets by the door. Sink dirty with toothpaste spit. Mattress dirty. No sheets. No one around to speak with. No response to email. No response to phone call. We then booked at the Marriott Courtyard and that hotel was amazing. Very disappointed. Also wrote hotels.com and no reply.

I booked an apartment with wi fi and the details to log in were to be available in the room. We searched everything multiple times and nothing w as found. We went out to find some public qi fi and emailed the hotel that the WiFi login details are missing. We received a reply and went back to the apartment. It turned out that those details did not work at all. Very annoying. For me the internet is actually crucial so now I need to find a place with the internet and will not be using the apartment during the night at all. I will be requesting a refund as I did not get what I paid for.

The place was hot, no Ac and very noisy. We were very uncomfortable during our stay. The terrace is accessible by other bldg tenants. No curtains, the room smells bad and have little cockroaches. The hallway smelled rally bad. There’s a kitchen but no sponge or detergent provided should we opt to cook. The price is very expensive considering the experience. The glass door is broken. We couldnt sleep because of the noises. If the glass door was working ok and if they had an AC, the price would be reasonable. The bed is messed up, no extra pillows. Those who want to stay here, see it for yourself. But it is not recommendable. Of all the places I booked through expedia, this is the worst of the worst.
The sun faces this room thats why its so hot
The glass door to terrace is broken, hinged but losely
Terrace can be accessed by neighbors.

Terrible experience and bad customer service

The apartment has no air condition requiring keeping windows open slightly for air. Because the build is very close to a very noisy/busy train station we could not get any sleep for all the nights we stayed. Every 5-10 minutes trains go by rapidly making a lot of noise. The train station is only one stop away from Zurich HB. The apartment has no coffee maker or a toaster although mentioned as having kitchen. Electrical outlets have problems; sometimes don’t work. Refrigerator and microwave oven share the same electrical outlet. Bring your own multiplexer.
