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.

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.

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disappointing and would not suit light travellers as there was no amenities other than a small bathroom, a sink and an outdated half a pillow.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.

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!

The neighbourhood is really nice, easy to get on transport. What was a bit confusing when I got keycode when registered I thought it was the room code. I got an email the day before about mainfloor access code and didn’t know it was room code as well. So was a bit stressed when tried KeyCode and it didn’t work. Just randomly punched in main floor door code and it opened the room.

This place was horrible: dirty and in poor condition. Cabinet door was broken, shower rod had duck tape on it, bathroom fixtures were attached to the wall with half the amount of screws so were barely hanging on and unusable, my bathroom sink wouldn’t drain, the heat was on in 95° weather and there was no fan, there were stains on the walls, the door to the building was unsecured, and the entryway and stairwells were filthy. It was not at all as it appeared in the Expedia pictures when we booked it and management never replied to my email. Avoid.
