It was hell. There was no air conditioning, it smelled bad, and there was zero care. They left a couple of \"amenities\" lying around in the sink. You don't know if they're really there or if someone left them behind. The closet is in bad condition. The room is neglected and not really clean. The only good thing I can say is that the Transavia bus stop was nearby. Ah!! And the amount of introductory material they send in a thousand languages... because they only read it in the language of the reservation and that's it! I don't recommend it.

1. The TV outlet is not installed, despite is not necessary to go around is still dangerous if any item falls near it.
2. No AC nor fan to ventilate the room. They should install at least a ceiling fan. It's impossible to sleep with that heat
3. Bad odor off the toilet sink.
4. The mattress is wasted and you can feel the coils
5. Bad pillow smell, they have to wash not only the pillow cover sheet, they have to wash the pillow.
6. The staff never answer Expedia messages. I asked a simple question from day 1 and no one answered.
7.it should be advertised that there's no fan/AC/ ventilation system, not even opening the window works plus you get mosquitos inside de room

Concluding
Expedia's property description MUST provide the property condition accuracy.

This is my worst experience, first time in Zurich and definitely I DON'T RECOMMEND THIS PROPERTY, it's too pricy for the condition of this place.

That place was a dump, the room smelled like an ashtray. No mirror in the bathroom. The corridors and the elevator had garbage in them for two days. No curtains on the windows. The bed was likely from the 50's. The overwhelming smell was so strong we used a full deodorizer spray bottle and it didn't really help. Expedia should be ashamed to be associated with such a place.

The room was clean, but the shades were kind of worn out. The bathroom light could have been replaced, it flickered when it was turned on. The other lights were fine. My room was next to tbe elevator, but the elevator was so quiet that i did not notice it being used.

The hotel was conveniently located close to the Albisriederplatz tram stop, so i could ride the bis or take the lines 2 or 3 into the city center.

Even thought the property is in a good location, the room is facing the parking lot where people were talking and smoking. Without AC, it would have been nice to be able to tilt the window, but that didn't work.
The room size is ok for 1 person, the bathroom small and both could use an update.

I was told not to say anything if you don't have anything good to say. This dump falls so short of expectations that i will leave it at that. Please don't consider this place. If you are booking for the area, stay at the Hotel Olympia. Zurich and Switzerland is VERY expensive but if you look at price, this is a bit cheaper than the Olympia. Pay extra and stay at a hotel. I have pictures of all the problems. I contacted the management and nothing was done. Made service for all 6 days was nonexistent. Just stay away from this place. Any positve reviews are probably bogus.

Careful with booking here. Unreliable

The checkin was terrible, apartment booked was not available (keys werent in the safe), checkin email was not provided, had to call the office to get my key code and then the key wasnt there. Office sent someone and informed me that they will come within 20 minutes, they showed up 1:50 hr later! Had to stay in another location as the keys to the unit booked were not available at all. Once in the apartment, it was fine.

Just kind of gross. The shower leaked and almost flooded the room, the shower curtain was cheap and kept falling and we had to keep re-hanging it, the floor was just gross and never felt properly cleaned, the mattress didn’t have a fitted sheet and was covered with a standard sheet so I woke up multiple times throughout the night with my face was all over the gross bare mattress, the neighbors next door were so loud and wouldn’t stop screaming till 1-2 in the morning. Just kind of a crummy place to stay.

Better than Airbnb, you don’t have to deal with nobody, the easiest way to have access to the room, just a simple code to get your key from a little box and pum, that’s all, perfect location; 300 feet of the train station, white neighborhood, Tom was very clean, nice bed, tv, mini fridge, well all you need...(no stove or kitchenette), overall great

Considering the high prices in Zurich, this option is fair for travelers on a low budget, but just \"acceptable\". The room is very-very small, maybe not recomended for a long stay. Despite the smoking prohibition, there was a strong, deeply impregnated tabacoo odour which persisted through the whole lenght of my stay, i.e 17 days.

Do not stay here. This is not a hotel. You are subletting someone’s apartment. There is no front desk or cleaning staff. The bed sheets were never changed for the 5 nights I stayed there. The tv was broken from day one and a person arrived to fix it on day four. If you have any issues you have to call an “emergency” number and hope for the best. The walls are paper thin. The person in the room next to mine played very loud death rap music all night every night. By the third night, emergency wouldn’t pick up, so I knocked on the door. Mistake. I was greeted by a group pair of menacing 3rd worlders who were smoking pot. The situation became tense and I was in fear for the rest of the trip.

Beware that this hotel is located close to an airport and therefore every half an hour you can hear the aeroplane fly by.

Swiss Star apartment, Albisreiderplaz

Apartment is clean but shower can be bit small for large person. In hot summer days, room can be stuffy. Opening the windows for fresh will draw noise from busy main road. Location is good, close to Albisreiderplaz tram station. From their you can reach city centre in 10 minutes taking tram no 2 & 3.
Apartment is close to two supermarkets, Migros and Coop. They opened late until 09:00 & 10:00 PM during weekdays and Saturday. For good bars and restaurants best to go old town in city. First impression of the main street around Albisreiderplaz looks dingy but safe.

Inexpensive for a reason

This is NOT a hotel, it is an apartment building w/o reception. It was not clear at all. The 24h Hotline is only reachable during normal business hours. Once there, there's no way to access internet, the concierge, or any way to get into the \"hotel room\". It is a lock box system that you have to go through online BEFORE you get to the hotel!!! Otherwise okay & clean, very cheap. But also 6 miles from the train station, not 1 mile. Right by the tram, which runs frequently & has a place to buy tickets.

Great place for great price.

Great apartment, we got a suite with 2 rooms, including kitchen and bathroom. Rooms were clean, kitchen was fully equipped, it even had a washing machine and tumble dryer. Spacious and quiet, perfect stay for family with kids. Check in and check out were fairly simple if following the instructions.
Even though no reception, staff was very attentive through the help phone line. We called late in the evening to report that the heating had stopped working, (out of hours), they send a technician within half hour and solved the problem. We are satisfied with the rooms and service. We would definitely stay again.

Don't plan on wifi-but cheap and easy

Booked in part because of free wifi it didn't work. Intact with the company didn't work to resolve it since they are not available on weekends. Couldn't get a text or code-wasted money to try but never succeeded, and trying to reach customer support was arrive ting and still unsuccessful. This is slightly better than a hostel, wouldn't recommend this place unless you just want a bed and shower and nothing else. Also a bit of a walk from the center with no attractions on the way. You will need your code prior to getting there as you get your room key from a box at the back of the building (this was easy), so obtain it prior to going to the hotel.

Would probably be fine if you didn't visit in summer, I stayed in a day that it had been 28, there was no air con or fan, ended up sleeping on the floor with the door open but it was very noisy. Would be fine in winter

It is not an apartment, just a room

It is okay. The room was not bad. My disappoint was no kitchenette. Why did they call it apartment? Another disappointment was to get on WiFi, you have to have a cellphone which works in Switzerland. I had to knock on neighbor's door, used her cellphone to receive a code. It was a bother.

Good base to explore Zurich

Handy to tram stop, so easy to get around. A supermarket is also very close. Enjoyed my stay. Zurich is a great place to visit. Felt unable to rate staff as I had no dealings with them - check in at the key box was easy enough though.

Absolutely Terrible Experience

This hotel/apartment caused me to develop very itchy rashes over my body after the first night.

I rarely have reactions like this. It was likely because of dust mites, insect replant, or strong chemicals used on the sheets.

I stayed at the Swiss Star apartment chain before and had the exact same reaction. I stayed again because I wasn't sure it was the apartments. Now I'm positive it was.

There is no reception desk and I was forced to leave after the first night.

I had to make other arrangements that were more expensive and in an inconvenient location because they were very last minute.

The hotel refuses to issue me a refund for 9 nights ($810) because it was a nonrefundable booking. I feel this is a clear exception to such a policy and I only stayed one very uncomfortable night.

I called Hotels.com for help. Swiss Star took the same position with the Hotels.com representative.

I highly recommend that no one stay at the Swiss Star apartment chain.

awful stay

the stay was really awful.we experienced troubles to find the appartment and the representative over the phone appeared very unpleasent and unhelpful and even hung up and disconected the conversation in the middle of night leaving us helpless complitely . the front door in the room was blocked and the key was very hard to opperate only due to assistence of neighbors.there was a lack of help complitely in the middle of night.the tv didn't work. we noticed our comlaint to the housekeeper in the morning.the stay doesn't worth payment.

Clean but hot

The hotel was clean but there is no reception. Area is not far from center of town and the tram stop is very close. Absolutely no air conditioning so I would not recommend this hotel unless it's winter.

Location good but trouble for having no staff

It was really terrible without any staff at place. No one came for room cleaning.i couldn't connect the TV which was unplugged and found by another flat members who lived there for long time. No replacement of bath towel and other facilities. Couldn't manage to turn off the heating system even. It seems me that I came from a rural area to a town.....:(

Suitable for overnight stay. I was there to tour Zurich and spent little time in the room. very simple facilities, might be a problem in the Summer as there's no fan or air conditioning in the room, not sure if you can request for it

Not bad if you manage to get in!

The first thing you will wish to note is that this isn’t a hotel! When you book expedia don’t tell you that when you arrive at this place, you won’t find a reception or any staff working there. When I arrived, I found that the front door was locked, so had to phone the number at the end of my booking, at my own cost using a UK phone, and was told to go round to the back of the property where I found a safe attached to the wall next to the rear entrance, and was provided with a pin by the lady on the phone to input into the keypad. This then released my key into the dropbox.

If I didn’t have the confirmation with me, or have a phone that I could use, I would have been left stranded! So, please make sure you have your phone with you, and Expedia should really be providing you all this information once you have booked and before you depart!

The room itself was pretty compact, the bed not overly comfortable, and the fridge in the room made a lot of noise, so I just unplugged it as I didn’t need to use it. There is a small TV in the room, but my remote was broken with buttons missing, so I had to change the channels on the tv itself , which was slightly annoying. The bedding wasn’t changed, nor the room cleaned in the 2 nights I was there!

Building work going on outside. Very loud from 7:00. Very hot in the room but if you open the window the noise from the street is too much, trams, cars....etc. The cleaners knock on the door from about 9:00 (check out is 11:00).

Ok

The hotel room itself was nice and clean, but getting into it was a bit of a struggle. On expedia they don't say anything about there not being a reception or anything. After we booked the room, the hotel sent us an email with a code and said to use the code to get the key. When we arrived at the hotel we had no idea where to put in this code, as they just said it would be next to the door. There was no one to ask, but eventually someone came by and told us its at the back door. There was no indication of that outside or in the email. Along with that, they said there was free wifi, which was true, but you needed a phone number for it. I was not traveling with a phone and even when i got access to a phone, it still didn't work. We had booked this place because we needed the wifi to book other hotels later and never got the wifi to work.

Good, basic accommodation

For an entry level price range, this hotel met or slightly exceeded my expectations. It was clean, quiet, and relatively spacious. The hotel was also very conveniently located on a main tram route, and near to various shops and restaurants. There is no reception, but the key-drop box system works very well. The only disappointment was the TV - I was only able to get two channels.

Bad Comunication

I was there and my reservation was cancel without letting me know. I was there in Zurich in the front of apartment and could not find a live person to talk to regarding the keys at 7 pm without the phone or any communication tools. Apartmant is using some call agency and they are NOT capable to do anything and help you. It was very uncomfortable and bad situation .

Cheap confortable overnight but smelly room

With a last minute booking, price for double room was extremely cheap. Convenient communication with hotels.com as the hotel forgot to send me the Pin to get the key. Room was big, but smelly. Someone may have smoked. In addition, found a woman blond long hair on the blanket. Appears not to have been cleaned thoroughly. Overall for its price, was great and practical.

Une horrible expérience. Dès l'arrivée, tout est sale, le hall, les escaliers. Puis la chambre, une odeur horrible de tabac et je ne sais quoi. Pour continuer, vitre de fenêtre félée, puis dans le bac du frigidaire, des déchets de nouriture, la hotte qui se décroche, de la moisissure dans la salle de bains, pas de porte à l'armoire de la salle de bain et de la rouille à l'intérieur de celle-ci. Dans la chambre pas de rideau, ni de stores. Et cerise sur le gateau, pas de serviettes de toilette, alors que celles ci sont prévues dans la location, alors que nous avons loué un \"studio ville\" et que des serviettes sont prévues dans la description. Heureusement, la literie était propre et visiblement, le logement avait été nettoyé mais un seul conseil : A FUIR. Il est difficile de comprendre comment \"Hotel.com\" peut proposer ce type de logements à la location.

It might be a low price but I would not recommend anyone to stay at this hotel. I received the key and the room was not clean from previous guest. Tried to call via the number in the booking mail but gave up after 20 minutes. Finally got some help to clean the room but hours late. People smoking outside the window. Noisy. Try to avoid if you can.

Sujo e inseguro

Algumas toalhas e roupas de cama não estavam bem limpas. O controle remoto e a chave estavam bem sujos. Para fazer o check-in foi horrível, porque eu apenas recebi o código e mais nenhuma informação ou orientação sobre onde pegar as chaves e o número do quarto. Cheguei tarde da noite e fiquei rodando até encontrar um hóspede para me mostrar que eu deveria ir atrás do prédio encontrar uma caixa na parede, onde eu deveria colocar o código.

Também teve algum problema muito sério em um apartamento do meu andar. A polícia foi chamada e a porta ficou lacrada até o final da minha estadia. Bairro inseguro. Hall de entrada bem sujo também.
