Everything was great. Hotel is big, clean, nice area around, close to the train station and the city center. Very friendly and welcoming staff at the front office, in the restaurants. Room is clean, spacios. The best SPA area. Amazing sauna, love the snow/ice bowl there to refresh after hot sauna. Lounge area is good, plus you can make tea, get some water. I would reccomend it for sure
Hotel was nice, clean and modern.
Though the railtracks are right opposite the hotel you couldn't hear trains going past from your room. Train station 100m from hotel & very convenient to get to old town/ lake/ airport. Good breakfast and gym & sauna nice too.
The room is very cozy. Definitely one of the most fashionably designed hotels I have been to.
The breakfast buffet is good too
Convenient location - only 5 min walk from the train station
The hotel construction is very stylish. The front desk people are very nice and helpful. We were upgraded to a premium room. Rooms are very nice and comfortable. Other amenities such as spa and sauna are also very good. Great options in breakfast. Walking from the train station. Would highly recommend.
My room was upgraded without requesting. Very nice hotel with the train station one block away. Breakfast was delicious. The staff were very helpful and friendly
It was a fine stay. New and comfortable rooms, nice bed. From the negatives: next to train way so there is noise until late night and from early morning, staff in the bar in the evening seemed to be overwhelmed and overworked despite only few customers - we had to wait at least 30 min just to get an order
Very comfortable beds and quiet rooms. The surrounding area is quite boring with nothing much to do around it.
Convenient for the local ice hockey arena.
Had a great experience here with my family! Staff was great and very helpful. Room was new and clean. Gym also had enough equipment for a quick workout. Thank you!!
I regularly stay at this hotel as it is a convenient walk to work and great links to Central Zurich- only 2 stops on the train. The staff are friendly and the rooms are modern, comfortable and clean.
It was a pleasant stay. The hotel is located on the outskirts of Zurich city centre, but it has a tren station, tram and bus station just 5mins by foot. The breakfast is delicious and with many sweet and savory options.
This hotel is right on Altstetten train station. It provides quick and easy access to Old town and the airport. The rooms were spacious, clean and modern. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom, although on the tighter side was well designed to maximize space. It was clean and modern. The shower had good water pressure. I had a car rental. I decided to return it and use the train for access to different sites as it was cheaper and faster than keeping the car.
