I chose this place for a specific reason, which was the distance from my friends staying in an apartment close by. So my only requirements were a good night sleep and cleanliness without breaking the bank since I was only for 30hrs in Zurich. The property matched all of them.

Only booked this because it was close to an event I was attending and was happy at the price. I was surprised by all the in-room amenities because I want looking for that. A person staying longer would have benefited from the kitchen, dining table and ironing board. I was impressed by the large bathroom including a whirl pool bath tub.

In the bathroom the water doesn‘t drain away. The TV and the kettle don’t work. If you try to speak to the management, you‘ll kept on hold and nobody answers the phone. The area around the entrancy smells stinky. In the room there are many stains on the furniture. These appartements are horrible and not worth any penny.

Fine for a short cheap stay. But otherwise - Black mould. No soap or dish soap to wash anything. The kettle and some appliances can’t be plugged in because they don’t supply adaptors. And a lottt of spiders.

The studio was good but the bin in the kitchen was full of garbage (milk cartons, egg cartons, etc) and the wall at the side of the table was falling apart, the paint even got in my husband's jacket.

Poorly maintained Fan so broken and out of balance that it couldn’t be used Shower head hose broken and sprayed all over the bathroom Was advised routine maintenance was to occur during my stay, so I told them about these issues, but nothing happened Was advertised as daily maid service. Didn't happen The common area is filthy. If you a light sleeper, I suggest staying somewhere else. The trolly tram runs directly outside

The neighbourhood is really nice, easy to get on transport. What was a bit confusing when I got keycode when registered I thought it was the room code. I got an email the day before about mainfloor access code and didn’t know it was room code as well. So was a bit stressed when tried KeyCode and it didn’t work. Just randomly punched in main floor door code and it opened the room.

Die Heizung war defekt. Anscheinend ist das Ventil kaputt. Es sieht so aus, als hätte jemand dagegen getreten. Die Wohnung wurde nicht warm. Auch nach Kontaktversuchen meinerseits, zum Unterkunftanbieter wurden folgende Mängel nicht behoben. Meine Kontaktanfragen und natürlich auch die Anfrage auf Rabatt, aufgrund den Mängeln wurden einfach ignoriert. Die Tischplatte war lose. -> Man konnte nichts darauf abstellen. Die Küche war defekt. Der Kühlschrank war defekt. Die Duschkabine war defekt, sodass man nicht duschen konnte, ohne das gesamte Bad unter Wasser zu setzen. Ich bin eine Nacht eher "ausgecheckt", da die Wohnung zu kalt war. Die Kontaktanfragen wurden ignoriert. Ans Telefon wurde nicht dran gegangen. Die E-Mails wurden nicht beantwortet. Anscheinend wusste man welches Zimmer man vermietet und dass es gravierende Mängel aufweist.

Turned up after check in and the room hadn’t been cleaned. Power went out within our first few hours of being there, contacted the helpline multiple times and they said they’d send out an electrician. They never did! Spent the whole trip with no way to charge phones in our room and no lights!

„So lala“ …… Der Erste Eindruck- Hoffentlich bleibt es nicht so. Ich dachte als erstes - vielleicht doch ein Bordell? - ich habe in einer Unterkunft noch nie als Erstes nach Bettwanzen geschaut. - Glück gehabt. Täglich sauber gemacht? Andere Zeitrechnung? Staub überall. Wenigstens die Bettwäsche schien sauber. Auf dem Balkon lag eine abgefallene defekte Store. Zum Glück war nicht Sommer. Es war günstig aber sauber darf es dennoch sein. Ich hatte keine andere Wahl und musste bleiben. Hab’s überstanden aber noch mal - nein Danke.
