“Away from Zurich centre”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

Location is okay, right on a tram route into the centre or around a 45 minute walk to the main station. Reception staff very efficient. The room I was in was well decorated but small, perfect for a single traveller but I suspect would feel tight for two. Price was high, but this is Zurich. Swimming pool looked great. Typical Crowne Plaza, nothing exciting but a good night's stay.

“Great hotel in an overpriced city.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012 via mobile
1
person found this review helpful

If this review were about the overall stay in Zurich it would have been 1 star. I won't be going back.

However the hotel was fantastic. We paid British prices when we booked which was a good job because zurich is insanely expensive. We were just passing through luckily.

The hotel became our haven, we ventured out once, spent over £40 on average fast food (a big mac meal is £10 for example!), £8 on a 'Lush' bath bomb to calm is down and quickly returned to the hotel and didn't leave until the airport beckoned. It's not that we can't afford it it's just who can enjoy anything that is so unnecessarily expensive!

Back to the hotel!
Staff were fantastic, they gave us free late check out, looked after our luggage all day even after we'd checked out and allowed us to use their facilities after we had checked out too! Tv didn't work, a very nice man was there in a shot and fixed it even quicker. Tea making facilities, mini bar, lovely deep bath, very comfy bed.

To conclude If you really have to visit this overpriced under achieving city it's a good place to stay- just pack sandwiches.

“Better than before”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I stayed here for a night using points, if I could give 3.5 stars I would.
The few times that I spoke to the reception staff they were all helpful and friendly,on checkin I was asked if I wanted to have my credit card authorised to charge hotel services, so not sure what the previous poster was complaining about,in most hotels it is automatic.
The standard rooms are very small but equiped with mini bar,tea/making facility,a small desk with wired internet options and the flat panel tv. The bathroom was very small with a normal door, the main issue here was scuff marks on the walls and the chipped/scratched tub,there is a non slip panel on the bottom which was grey and looked dirty,making the prospect of a soak unappealing(room 2110). The rain shower head had good water pressure.
I didn't have breakfast this visit, though I did use the bar, the drinks and service were fine though it really needs a refresh.
Next time I am in Zurich I will give the hotel another try but book a bigger room

Room Tip: If there are two of you book a superior or above room,standard ones are a bit too small

“Nice room, but it just bit too small”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

We stayed there for long weekend for sightseeing in January 6th-8th. The hotel is ok, the room is bit small but has everything you need. But the hotel needs fresh paint in the rooms, since so many little spots you can see from previous people who stayed there before. The first impression we had as we arrived there at 8 am, there were plenty pretty Singapore Airlines stewardess:p bit surprised but nice to look on:p especially they wearing their nice batik uniform:p seems the hotel is SQ hotel base for their employees during transit.

They provide buffet bfast, with different juices, fruits, muesli, ham & other things. The hotel has swimming pool, jacuzzi, fitness equipments, if you want to use free limited internet better you use the fix pc downstair at the lobby & ask the reception how it works before you got any unwanted charge to your room, they have some free internet with certain limit kb.

The room is small, the bathroom is unfortunately very close to your bed that you can hear perfectly every activity your partner doing inside:p ..but I fully understand how expensive to have bigger space in Switzerland.

The location is a bit far away to go to the city, but you can go easily to the city by Trams/bus everywhere which about 15-20 min by foot. We got a room nearby the street with mountain view, it was a bit loud from the tram & cars, but it wasn't really big deal coz we can closed the small window then is ok :p

Overall it was ok to stay there. There's a supermarket nearby which you can go by foot. We paid 170€/night incl 2 bfast. But this hotel is really only good for transit/business. Hope it helps.
