The elevator was out of service when we arrived and our original assignment was on the 10th floor. As seniors with luggage this was not acceptable. The maid was very kind and called the office and had us reassigned to the third floor. The apartment was decent some remodeling had been done and there was ongoing remodeling in the rest of the building during our stay the elevator was out of service quite a bit. The apartment is rather poorly lit and could use some punchout. The balcony doors top hinge was not well secured and I was afraid the glass door was going to fall off. The cleanliness was acceptable but a few things are needed for the kitchen a sponge or scrubber and some dish soap. The location was very convenient across the street from the Oerlikon station there were stores and restaurants nearby but walking up and down flights of stairs was not enjoyable. Hopefully when the remodeling is complete and elevators restored to full functionality it will be better.

Don't book!!! The price is far too much for this room. 1. The key handover box didn't work, after trying several times I received 2 keys and had to find out which is my room. 2. The room has a balcony, but you can't use it as the blinds were closed and stuck and can't be opened. No maintenance at all. 3. Same with the shower, it works only partly. 4. The TV I had to install and fix by myself. 5. It's very loud if you open the door, lot of train traffic. But the location is ok. 6. At least the service hotline was doing fine, they could be reached immediately and helped me. The room was rather clean. I am very disappointed that Expedia offers such a room without checking the "Swiss" quality first. No, more, sorry.

Great location and a good size . Bed needs replacing (broken slats had been bridged using an ironing board, but that still left a hole on one side of the bed so it was pretty uncomfortable.

Cover of bed is to gentle and whole body is felling down that yours back is more up than head. Sleeping was very uncomfortable. Rest is normal for so low price

Works for the price. Some reviews are overly showing this in bad light, but it's close to a railway station, so easy for transportation. The area is slightly shady but there are kids playing around and it's still very safe

Appalling experience. First the check-in didn't work and we had to wait for the most flegmatic staff member to come "help" us by waving his hands and claiming it isn't his problem. But we finally got in after some back-and-forth. Others were not as lucky as they got told their reservations are "cancelled" even if they had proof of their bookings. Then we discovered we had a room in floor 6 and the elevator was broken (as it was for the whole day). The staircases were really dirty with grime and cigarette butts. Then the room itself: it was relatively clean BUT the refrigerator we were promised didn't work BECAUSE THE PLUG COULD NOT BE USED! Several plug outlets were also hanging out of the walls, really safe installations guys. It was unbearably hot in the room and one could not really open the window as there was a direct access to the next room and the nearby station would make sure you will not sleep peacefully. Not recommended at all.

I had to book this accommodation for a visitor, so I was disappointed by the overall experience. The building has two elevators, and unfortunately neither of them was working during the stay. I also heard reports from other guests saying they had previously gotten stuck inside, which is quite concerning from a safety perspective. The entrance area of the building was very dirty and had a strong unpleasant smell. While the room itself was decent, for the price paid I expected a much better overall experience. Unfortunately, most of the common areas also appeared poorly maintained and unclean, and the overall atmosphere of the building did not feel very comfortable. Personally, I would not recommend this place for families, old people who cannot take the stairs, women traveling alone, or anyone looking for a comfortable and relaxing environment. The pictures didn’t match with what I rented.

Avoid this

The property room was facing the railroad and all night, there are trains moving. i had 4 rooms 2 rooms bathrooms door didnt close There was a lot of confusion of automated checkin and although I got it resolved after 1 call, there were a number of people who had the same issues Cleanliness was lacking. I would avoid this
