Swissotel Zurich  

De ligging t.o.v. de luchthaven; recht tegenover station Oerlikon en vandaar binnen 5 minuten op de luchthaven, super! De kamers zijn niet groot, met name de badkamer is aan de kleine kant maar ze zijn mooi gerenoveerd.

De prijs van het ontbijt: 30 franc p.p. Dit is ook niet nodig want er zit aan het hotel een Starbucks vast en er zijn genoeg alternatieven qua ontbijt op loopafstand.

De persoonlijke touch die het personeel geeft, maakt het echt een genot om er te verblijven. Ik voelde me er werkelijk thuis ondanks dat weg van huis was. Zij hebben zich dat als doel gesteld en dat lukt ze ook daadwerkelijk om je dat gevoel te geven. Elk staf member spreekt je op een zeer persoonlijke manier aan om je op je wenken te bedienen. Heerlijk om zo vertroeteld te worden. Daarbij heeft het een zwembad en sauna op de 32e verdieping met een prachtig panorama uitzicht over de stad, het vliegveld en de alpen echt een genot om daar te zwemmen en in de sauna te zitten.

Ligging, prijs, personeel

Restaurant/Bar gesloten wegens verbouwing.

Het ontbijt was goed, de kamer ook. Wel wat aan de kleine kant met een babybedje erin, maar wel prima te doen. Babyledikant op de kamer. Goed geregeld. Treinstaion voor de deur om naar het centrum van Zurich te kunnen.

This is a business class hotel, which we booked for the end of our ski trip because of the spa / sauna. It is located directly across from a small train station that is 7 minutes from the main Zuerich train station (don't take a cab; we did because we couldn't find the information desk). It is very modern yet comfortable. There is a farmers market outside on Wednesdays and Saturdays, tons of cheeses and breads and fresh fruit. There is also a grocery store next door, so unless you're extremely lazy, skip the breakfast offered by the hotel. There is a Nespresso coffee maker in each room. While this isn't as good as fresh, it's a nice convenience to have. The bathrooms offer one 115/220V GFI service, however they provide a hair dryer and Dana brought a universal one so this did not matter.

If you want to use the complimentary pillow service, call early or ask first thing upon arrival. We asked at the end of the day after trekking around all day and they were out of pillows, which we were looking forward to trying. Also, keep in mind that the spa has limited hours on the weekend. This is completely understandable, just factor that in if you want to relax there after touring the city or local countryside.

Very friendly staff. They let me check in at 7am after a 13hr long distance flight without issues. The wellness area at the rooftop is great as well, with a marvellous view of the city. The buffet breakfast is a bit pricy, but value for money is OK if you want to go for a "real" breakfast including salmon, selection of cheese, ...

The opening hours of the spa area are a bit too short, in particular on weekends (8am-8pm). I don't need a dedicated receptionist in the spa area, but longer opening hours would be great... Like many other hotel chains, the hotel outsources Internet connectivity to a third party. They charge insane prices for Internet access, starting from CHF 9,- an hour. CHF 5,- will buy you a prepaid dayflat with most Swiss mobile operators. Hotels should really consider Internet a basic amenity these days, and not sell it at premium rates for CHF 70,-/night extra... this is just a very unpleasant ripoff that guests learned to avoid anyway.

Near the metro station

No free wi fi internet !!! + expensive

Excellent swimming pool and sauna facilities on top floor with fantastic views.

Very helpful staff. Excellent Service. Goof Breakfast. Good for families as well as for business trip. Close to the train station, Restaurants and and shops. Amazing view from the pool. Would highly recommend and will visit again (this is my best review given on booking.com)

The top floor pool was incredible. The spa attendant even served orange juice to the guests while we were relaxing. The hotel is perfect for zurich tourists (esp if you get the zurichcard because the train station is across the street and downtown zurich is five minutes away.

Staff were very helpful. The city centre was 10mins on train. Having a pool on the top floor with windows surrounding was a great way to end the day! Were upgraded as we; a nice bonus!

No signage to indicate sauna is nude only. Very embarrassing to be kicked out for having clothes on. Weird and kind of unfair too.

Room and bathroom way too small. Price to high for what you get.

Great location, the train station right across the road, take about 6mins to get to the city centre/main train station. Supermarket and couple of shops around the area.Staff was friendly and helpful, room was clean, good price and liked the swimming pool on top floor thro it was a bit small. Would definitely stay here again on my next trip to Zurich.
