The best hotel so far encountered in Zürich. We booked a family suite and a standard suite and were allocated 2 rooms on the 6th floor. These were the only 2 rooms on the floor so there was absolute privacy. The suites were large, seperate kitchen, dining, living and bedroom area. There is even a foyer when you walk in. Rooms are clean and breakfast which was included in the room price is served to your room and very sumptuous (they will ask you what you like during checkin). Value for money. Television is only in the living room, so you can't lie in bed and watch TV. Most of the staff are helpful and friendly, only encountered 1 lady who was not so nice who during checkin questioned the no of people in the room (I was only sending my family there to stay and had my own apartment in Zürich) and was not helpful in helping with access to rooms for visitors (I came back to hotel to meet my family, the elevator requires key access which I do not have, so I asked the lady if she can grant me access or help me to contact the rooms, she just grouchily pressed the main switch to activate the elevator and rudely say she will only do it this once). So if you forgot your key or is visiting, expect a scolding.... But overall hotel is very pleasant, will choose it again if needed.

We rented a serviced apartment that was about two blocks from the main EMA building, and less than a 10-minute walk to the main train station (Zurich HB). You also can take the tram (only two stops), but that can be pricey at CHF2.60 per person each way.

The apartment was huge, with a large living room/dining room/kitchen, a half bath, and a master bedroom suite with a king bed (complete with two individual comforters) and a private bathroom with a kind-of smallish shower. Two robes were provided as were two sets of slippers; very nice! By European standards, this is palatial, and cost less than most tiny hotel rooms that were available when we booked at EMA.

The kitchen has a full American-sized refrigerator with a freezer than made copious amounts of ice cubes (try to find ice in Europe!), a two-burner stove and a combo microwave oven/regular oven that we simply couldn't figure out how to use; no worries, there also was a toaster. We cooked breakfast and made lunch in the kitchen most days. There is a kitchen/dining table that seats four. There also is a combination washer/dryer that was adequate for doing small loads (but took forever to dry). Curiously, they did not provide detergent, so we used shower gel, which they did provide, and it worked just fine. There is even a dishwasher, for which they did provide soap.

There are two grocery stores at (Migros) or near (Coop) the train station and two more of these only two tram stops in the other direction, so it is easy to keep the fridge stocked.

Our only real complaint was that the furnishing were quite spartan, including a tube TV that had to be 20 years old. The TV had about a dozen English-language programs, including CNN, CNBC and Bloomberg; there also were recorded movies but we didn't try to watch any of them. Internet access was CHF 17 per week, which is less than many hotels charge for one day. If management were to spend a bit to replace the indoor/outdoor carpet, install a flat-screen TV, and provide plush towels, they could really upgrade the place. But then they would probably have to raise prices.

Check-in was very easy and the clerk helped us wheel our substantial luggage from the main building to our apartment. Check-out was equally easy and took only a couple minutes. We had daily maid service that was exceptional.

All in all, this is a tremendous value if you value space over hotel amenities.

We spent 1 night at EMA house. This is an All Suites hotel very comfortable and nice. Just 2 stops from Zurich central station, few steps from city centre. The room (or I should say apartment) is very big and comfortable, spacious and clean. The staff is helpful and nice. The breakfast is good, served directly in the room. We surely will book here again next time we are in Zurich

If you like large rooms, Ema House in Zurich is the place to go. Central but still quiet location, you will find an outstanding friendly service, Continental Swiss breakfast is served in the room on the hour you wish.
For me, the best place in Zurich at all !!!
