Apartments Swiss Star Marc Aurel

The apartment hotel is conveniently located, with easy access to public transit and nearby amenities. While the location is solid and the unit itself is spacious enough for a single room, there are a few drawbacks to note. The room lacks air conditioning, which makes it quite warm during summer months—definitely not recommended from June onward. Also, since the unit is close to the street, there’s noticeable noise from traffic, which can be disruptive, especially during quiet hours. The bathroom feels a bit outdated and could use some updates. There’s no full kitchen, but a small fridge is provided, which is handy for storing drinks or snacks. Overall, it’s a decent option if you’re looking for a budget-friendly stay in Zurich with basic comfort and good location, though it may not suit travelers who prioritize peace and modern facilities.

I also appreciated how close it was to the Swiss National Museum—just a short stroll away, which made visiting so easy and enjoyable. The self-check-in process was smooth and hassle-free. Overall, this is a great value-for-money option in a prime area, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Zurich.

Swiss Star Irchel - Self Check-IN

Honestly, the experience was just average. The main plus was having a restaurant right downstairs and nearby grocery stores—very convenient for daily needs. Self-check-in worked fine, but the process felt a bit basic and clunky, especially using a key to unlock the door. The soundproofing is seriously lacking—every little noise from the next room comes through loud and clear. Still, I did run into a few genuinely handsome guests during my stay, which lifted my mood! That said, the location is pretty remote, so unless I’m visiting for a specific reason, I wouldn’t choose this place again.

Swiss Star Tower - Self Check-IN

The hotel is incredibly convenient—just a 5-minute walk from the train station with frequent departures, making travel around Zurich effortless. The room was spacious, immaculately clean, and offered a bright, open view of the cityscape—perfect for relaxing after a long day. I especially appreciated having a small kitchenette, which allowed me to prepare simple meals and save on dining out. The only minor hiccups were the self-check-in machine, which wasn’t very intuitive, and a sudden loss of hot water during my shower—both issues were resolved quickly by the staff, who were helpful and responsive. One thing to note: there’s no hairdryer in the room, and luggage storage isn’t available. Still, these small drawbacks don’t take away from the overall great value and comfort. This is a solid choice for travelers who prioritize location, space, and convenience, especially those looking to cook their own meals.

Swiss Star Residences

Arriving in Zurich, I stayed at Swiss Star Residences and was pleasantly surprised by the experience.

Location-wise, it’s just a short metro ride from the city center, making access to major attractions super convenient. That said, if you’re someone who values face-to-face service or feels uneasy with no on-site staff, this might feel a bit impersonal. Still, the room was clean, modern, and well-equipped, and the quiet neighborhood added to the comfort. Overall, it’s an excellent choice for solo travelers or those looking for a hassle-free, budget-friendly stay with great transit links.

Swiss Star Franklin

The room was clean and the bathroom worked fine, with a decent kitchenette — great for self-catering. However, the lack of air conditioning made it extremely uncomfortable to sleep during warmer nights, especially since opening the windows wasn’t an option due to heavy traffic noise outside. It’s surprising that such a basic comfort isn’t included. The check-in process felt overly automated — we had to call a phone in a stairwell, get a code, then retrieve our key card from a mailbox full of envelopes. It was so impersonal, like a robot was handling everything. Honestly, it felt more like a tech experiment than a hotel experience. Also, parking is not included and costs 28€ per night at a nearby private lot — quite expensive for what’s offered. While the room itself is functional and well-maintained, the overall service feels cold and detached. For the price, you’d expect a bit more warmth and convenience. Not a bad stay, but definitely not one I’d recommend over more guest-friendly options.
