The hotel was fine, but not great. It took about 30+ minutes to check in. There was only one staff at reception handling more than 15 people waiting. Also, no one gave instructions on how to use the lift with the hotel key. It was fine, but I did not enjoy the experience.

The room was extremely dated, with old carpets and décor that made the place feel dirty and uncomfortable. The atmosphere was unpleasant and honestly gave the impression of a very dodgy one-night-stand hotel. The location is awful if you’re visiting Zürich — it’s far from the city centre and surrounded by industrial buildings. Do not stay here if your plan is to enjoy the city.

The curtains were plastic and stained with brown marks, which was disgusting. The bathroom smelled strongly of mould, as if it hadn’t been properly ventilated in years, and there was visible mould on the ceiling above the shower. The bed was equally bad — a thin, strange mattress that offered no comfort at all.

I only stayed one night because I had an early flight the next morning. If that hadn’t been the case, I would have checked out immediately.

The only positives were the staff, who spoke good English, an easy check-in process, and an excellent breakfast. The croissants were genuinely the best I had during my time in Switzerland.Overall, this hotel is only suitable if you are desperate for a cheap overnight stay near transport. Otherwise, avoid.

Overall a good stay. The room was clean and comfortable. We chose it for affordability so we were not expecting frills. It was located close to transportation which made it possible to reach everything but took 15+ minutes. It was located in an area with mostly office buildings so there was not much available immediately around the property to eat at. The staff was friendly but nothing extensive. There was a bar at the location but we didn't use it.

Nice space with friendly staff. Not downtown, but also despite the name, far enough from the airport that there was no noise from planes. Plus solid windows that block noise and blackout curtains - great for jet lag. Within walking distance to public transit and basic store and nice restaurant in base. Personally, I loved the neighborhood and the walkway behind the building. Only potential downside is that there was not AC, but I feel like this is pretty standard here. Also has simple and nice little coffee machine in room!

Poor Hotel Location and Room

The website says they have air conditioning in the rooms, but they Do Not. One night it was so hot, even with the window open, but restricted because they lock the bottom of it, and I tried calling the front desk 5 times with no answer. I eventually went down and he told me that they have no AirCon in the rooms, even though on the wall there is a thermostat. I asked for some assistance and he told me \"I am too busy and cannot help you\". Overall, the location was horrible, it is in an Industrial area and there is a lot of construction going on. So with the windows open you will hear at 7am the construction. It was a very uncomfortable stay!

The hotel is located in a quiet area not far away from Oerlikon. Good transport links to the airport and the city centre. The receptionist who checked us in was very friendly and made a very good first impression. However, we had to swap rooms straight away due to the toilet flush being broken. The second room was okay. There was no safe in the room which is a bit of a shame and same goes for the kettle. The breakfast was not good: dry bakery, very limited selection, eggs and bacon were terrible, same limited choices for the three days we stayed there. Breakfast items were not replenished fast enough with some trays sitting empty for long periods of time. This seems poor considering it’s an Ibis.

Clean and cheap, so could certainly be worse. Bed was not terribly comfortable and altogether it was sparse. They have conditioning shampoo in the shower in a pump bottle and soap near the sink, so you have to step out of the shower to get soap ... far from public transport and I would not walk the area at night to get to transport so I had to use Uber to return when it was late. Was it worth the sFr.75 (total for 2 nights) I saved over staying in a 4* property? Probably not. Next time I will opt for the upgrade

Almost perfect for a short stay. We spent one night here on a long layover. They offer a shuttle both from and to the airport for only around $5-6 which is a great deal considering a cab runs five to six times that.

The rooms are very small, if you've been to Japan then you know what to expect. There's not much of a view because there's nothing to look at in any direction. The rooms do have plenty of electrical outlets which is a nice touch.

The staff were very helpful in explaining how to get to the nearby tram station by foot and reach the city center. (10-15 mins on #11 towards Rehalp.)

The bar area is pleasant but we found the restaurant prices for lunch/dinner to be exorbitant and chose to eat elsewhere. The breakfast buffet was $18 and it's your best bet if you want something more filling than just a pastry.
