Room was nice enough but few things needed attention: curtain coming off rail and not completely blackout, tap spout was faulty so spray was in face. We'd booked a family room for 2 adults & 2kids, but room was not set up for this so I asked for another one and they gave me a room set up for 1 adult and 1child.

The lady outside the elevator walked up to me and turned off the hot water dispenser as I was filling my Thermos. She said she could give me cold water, but not hot water. What kind of place is this? First, the ground floor was under renovation. There were no warnings when I booked the hotel. I had to check in from the back of the hotel through a dark parking lot walking through a narrow path. I could not get hot water from my coffee machine in my room, which was tiny. There were no closets. You get a clothes rack next to the coffee machine to hang your jackets. They put a drink center right next to the elevator on the ground floor. In most hotels, that would be an invitation for people to help themselves to coffees and tea. But this lady confronted me and made me feel to did something bad! I began to poor the water out of my Thermos, she stopped me again! Was she having pity on me to allow me to keep my few ounces of hot water?!!! I spent close to US$300 a night at this place including parking. It’s not high end for Zürich, but it’s not low rent either. I only needed a place to sleep overnight to catch my flight. I didn’t think I would be mistreated! I have never been made to feel so cheap at a hotel before. People have warned me about Novotel. Now I know. Hopefully that would have been the last time I stay in one.

Very poor customers service, tried calling prior to my stay so many times to confirm the booking details but no one answered, finally someone answered next day but guy refused to confirm my booking. Just wanted to let them know that I'll be checking in bit late but he didn't even listened to me. Thanks to Hotels.com for confirming my booking but i wouldn't suggest booking this hotel if you don’t want the stress before your holidays.

The rooms that we've stayed in ( 2 rooms for a family of 6) are very comfortable with tv, very family-friendly, the washroom is very clean even my kids love it , the place itself is quiet and very convenient since it is near the airport, train stations, walkable restaurants, ample parking for our van as well as those tour buses. The restaurant in the hotel serves also good food if you don't feel like going out. When we come back to Switzerland, I would still book again this hotel for my family.

the location is unsafe and shady. the host is rude. we were charged an extra fee of 50 euros for late checkin of which we were not informed earlier. there is no lift and we had to carry our luggage to 2nd floor on steep stairs. since our check out time was 10am, the owner kept ringing our doorbell from 9am which was very disturbing. The building is very old. The heaters were not working. The list of disappointments is endless. Avoid this place.

We stayed over night here before flying back to the States. Despite fact they are undergoing a massive renovation- everything was very nice. The room was clean and perfect for our family of four. I appreciate how they have the rollout already made for the kids. There was coffee in the room and water, which is always nice. It’s conveniently located right off the tram so it was super easy to get to and from the airport. Staff was nice and helpful. Walked to a restaurant for dinner.
