Pricy for what you get. Breakfast is so so for what you pay but you get good coffee. Showers are horrible in that water splatters everywhere. The location is great. Self check in made the place feel cheap but at least there was a person to help you there.

Mövenpick Hotel Zuerich-Airport
Tile in the shower, not clean. The lamps in our room did not work properly because of failing lightbulbs. The showerhead was broken and had to be replaced before we could take a shower. Just not a pleasant experience.
