This hotel has lovely public areas, but the rooms, though clean are a little dated. It comes highly recommended nonetheless for its practical location equidistant from Zurich's down town and airport. RY0405.
This is a plain, traditional building with a pale pink facade.
The rooms vary in size from small to medium size. They are in various styles and states of repair. The oldest are rather dated in appearance with old fashioned furniture and seventies style bathrooms, the more modern rooms are decorated in pale pastel colours and whilst hardly state of the art are more attractive. Looking beyond the style of the rooms, however, they are all clean and comfortable and in good to very good condition as are the bathrooms.
The restaurant is located on the first floor and is huge with a very high ceiling and massive stained glass window at one end. It really comes as quite a surprise given the more modest appearance of the building from the street.
Despite the hotel's traditional facade, the lobby is very modern. Huge floor to ceiling windows make it an extremely light area, an impression helped by the pale polished stone floor and light wood and brightly coloured leather furniture.
This hotel is located in the centre of the bustling suburb of Oerlikon. There are lots of shops on the doorstep, but down town Zurich is just a 10min train or 15min tram ride away.
