Verified traveller

Disliked: Cleanliness
The room was not as pictured when booking. The room was not as clean as you would hope and smelled like someone had smoked in there. The bed was comfortable and the sheets seemed clean. It was not very easy to organise bag storage or early check in. The staff at the hotel thought were kind and helpful and the hotel is in a convenient location with nice cafes and shops nearby. Not too far from the main train station.

Had a good time in a great location

I had a phenomenal time in Switzerland and enjoyed having INSIDE FIVE as a home base. There was enough room for the four of us-- and we especially enjoyed late nights on the courtyard! Cheers.

Zurich is a very expensive city and this location had one of the more affordable prices. With that said, with no air conditioning and a June heat wave, the indoor conditions were difficult to deal with, especially a night. They did provide a floor fan that helped a bit. Aside from that, the room was comfortable, with a smaller Kitchenette that included a stove, microwave, and fridge. There was also a generous closet and even a small ironing board and iron. The use of space is very well thought of. It’s also conveniently located 10 minutes from the train station. I would stay here again but not in the summer months.

Nice room but poor staff communication

The room had everything we needed and the WiFi was good. Was really hot which made sleeping difficult, there were fans which helped a little. Can’t blame them for this though as property does say no air conditioning. Main issue was communication. I had to chase for check in instructions and I also asked about leaving luggage on the last day which is available but nobody replied to the message and nobody was in the office to ask.

Modern apartment in a prime central location with easy access to trains and buses. The one-bedroom layout was spacious enough for our family of four. The kitchen was well stocked, and having a laundry room in the basement was a big plus. The only downside was that the bedroom didn’t have good air conditioning—while the living room was comfortable, a fan in the bedroom would have made a big difference

Expensive stay for very poor room. Photos in ad do not show how tiny room is. So incredibly hot with no AC. Fan provided was disgusting dirty and was clipped shut so I could not clean. Stains in ceiling. In disrepair. Stay away. It was the most expensive hotel I had in 3 weeks in Europe and by far the worst quality.

Overall the room was decent for the price. Room was decently clean and beds were good. Kitchen was small but usable. Laundry in the building was unusable however. The drying machines had water in them and smelled like sewage.

Affordable

The best thing about this place is it's location. We were a 6 minute walk to our tour/excursion and 8 minute walk to the train station, so we didn't have to worry about transportation. We knew it would be a tight squeeze for our family of 5, but the price was good. We had to arrive late at night and we received an email after hours with a code to a key box. Everything went smoothly. Place was clean. For as expensive as Zurich is, we found this to be a more affordable option, and knew we would not be spending much time in the room. Would recommend based on location, cleanliness and affordability.

Stay was good overall. One challenge we faced was check-in procedure since the email we got required check-in registration before 24 hours but no secure link was there in the email (special instruction below).

There were people standing in front of the building waiting to get instructions for entering, and as I’d had the same problem hours ahead of them, I’d say there was a problem with check in. I didn’t want to review this place because I’ve had enough trouble with it already and didn’t want to waste more, but you won’t leave me alone!

Nice affordable stay

The place was cute, affordable, lots of amenities, super comfortable bedding. Very walkable location and easy to navigate. Maybe a ten minute walk to the main train station and 20 to Old Town. We did have a leaky shower and wish it would have been easier to get ahold of someone. Calling isn’t easy when you’re from out of the country.
