2-Star Hotels in Zurich

The people at Arlette Hotel were great! Very friendly and helpful. Zurich is a very expensive city and the Arlette is a very good value. The room (101) was smallish as was the bathroom. But we have come to expect that in the older European hotels. It was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed after a full day of sightseeing in Zurich and the magnificent Alps. The Arlette is just a short walk away to the bus and train station; and there is a great breakfast spot right next door and good kebab restaurant a few doors down. The gentleman at the desk even allowed us to check in very early after a long redeye flight. That was truly wonderful gesture. It says a lot about how caring the staff is. If we ever return to Zurich, we will be sure to stay here.

The location and cleanliness of the room were excellent. However, there doesn't seem to be a permanent staff member at the hotel, so you need a passcode to enter. This means you must complete the web check-in by the day before your arrival to receive the passcode and room number via email from the hotel. It's absolutely essential not to forget to do the self-check-in beforehand.

You could say it's good value for money. It's fine for a one-night stay, but I wouldn't recommend it for longer. The room only has a bed, but it was clean. The biggest problem is definitely the lack of air conditioning, which means you absolutely cannot stay here from May onwards – you won't be able to sleep due to the heat, there's only a fan.

The location of the hotel is excellent and the service is very good. The price in the place of Zurich, Switzerland is quite affordable. The important thing is that the hotel is in the central area, close to the attractions and stations.

The location was excellent, about 12 minutes from the train station. There were few rooms, but they were adequate. However, the most unacceptable thing was that after showering, water seeped into the room floor – this was unacceptable. A commendable aspect was its completely self-service system. The best feature was the self-service luggage storage, where you could set your own password to lock your luggage – excellent! The only downside was the lack of a lift, which was very inconvenient for carrying large luggage. On the other hand, there was a luggage lift. Since it only allowed luggage to be lifted, guests didn't need to carry their luggage up the stairs; they could simply go to their floor to retrieve it. This was the hotel's most unique and biggest advantage.

Location is good. Aldi, Migros, Coop nearby. Tramstop nearby 3 mins walk with suitcase. Easy self-checkin & checkout. My room (Basic Room) is quite big indeed, where I can open 3 or 4 suitcases on the floor. But only 1 small table and 1 stool in the room, you have to pack or put your things on the floor or on the bed. I don't mind at all noises during night time. But if you need to have complete slience to sleep, beware that you may hear laughters from people in the street and noise of car pass by, from time to time. The drainage pipe in my room is not perfectly set, there are some unpleasant smell in the washroom. I stayed 2 days here. The lift was working but the lights was out of order. I take the lift in dark. But the lift is well repaired the next day. Efficient reaction time. Appreciated. Overall, I
