What guests think

Across reviews, Sorell Hotel Rex Zürich is praised for convenient tram access, a good breakfast, and small yet comfortable rooms, though the lack of air conditioning in summer can affect comfort.

Many applaud helpful staff interactions, but after-hours support is limited and several guests struggled with self check-in, door codes, or billing. Room cleanliness is often praised, yet multiple reviews report small bathrooms and occasional maintenance or hygiene problems such as mold, clogged drains, or nonworking fixtures. On-site parking exists but space is limited and typically needs advance reservation. Expect a simple, well-located stay best for travelers comfortable with self-service.

Nettes Hotel nah an der Tram. Zimmer und Frühstück sind okay. Online Check-in hat seine Grenzen z.B. wenn man vor Ort einen Parkplatz dazu buchen möchte, da man in der Gegend nicht parken kann - 20 CHF pro Tag.

The hotel was well placed just outside the centre of Zurich. The room was good but the bathroom was a little on the small side. The room had good facilities. The breakfast was nice and a decent selection. There was also a few nice touches like having coffee and water available all day.

This has been my worst hotel experience so far and I travelled a lot. I’m okay with self check-in, but this should be notified to customers ahead of the time, and states clearly on your website. The self-check-in process is as smooth as it can be, but the European keyboard is not user friendly for international travelers. It takes me quite a few minutes to find “@“ on the keyboard while I was extremely tired and stressed about if I can check in. The water fountain in the lobby has its tap broken. The WiFi is free to connect with no password, but there’s no signage anywhere to notify the customer of how to connect WiFi. When I get to the room, I was glad to see that there’s a water boiler. But guess what, there’s NO plug can fit in. This is rather a silly design. The charging plug issue goes same to the bed, where there’s no plug next to the bedhead, which is extremely inconvenient. No info on the mini bar. There are items in the fridge but no price info can be found anywhere. This is no air conditioner in the room. During my stay, the weather is fine. But I can’t imagine how to survive on a hot summer night. (There is heating system for the winter.) The room has a weird shape (which is ok) but has a mirror facing directly to the bed. This is bad Fengshui, and the reason is that you get startled when you see the mirror in the middle of the night. This is not a pleasant stay rather an escape room test. Overall, I like the concept of super

We had an early train to catch so we decided to stay overnight in Zurich so we wouldn’t be late. Though it served its purpose, we have mixed feelings about this hotel. We were able to park in one of there four parking spaces and check-in before returning our rental car over by the main train station. The walk back to the hotel from there was not terribly long, but we wouldn’t want to make that walk with luggage, so we took a taxi back to the train station the next morning. We know that most hotel rooms in Europe are small, but other than the bed, everything else was tiny, including the shower. I think the bathroom was what most of our complaints are about. It really was not as clean as we would expect, the shower drain was very slow, so we were standing in a lot of water, and the hair dryer didn’t work. There was a portable AC unit in the room, and since it had been an unusually warm day for Zurich, it ran all night long to keep the room comfortable, so I’m glad that was there, as well as the complimentary water bottles. Also, the staff were very friendly, helpful and accommodating. We were able to check-in an hour early and they arranged for our taxi the next morning. Oh, there is a wonderful bakery right across the street that opens bright and early.

Well above what I expected. The pre-check in online hadn't registered that we had paid via a third party and wouldnt let us fill in our details before arrival which was worrying, their first email response was quick and helpful, the second they just didnt respond to hiwever we managed to contact them directly. We were arriving late so were concerned but we had the door code and could fill everything in via the machine in the lobby which did know we had already paid. The location is great, beds comfortable, room big enough (small bathroom). The breakfast was delicious and i loved the small details like the rubber duck in the shower, AC in room, free hand sanitizer in room and lobby and an umbrella to borrow. Very happy overall after our stay! Price worth it.

It’s a nice little boutique hotel in a good neighborhood. Easy transportation right outside makes it easy to access. The hotel itself is what you would expect from a 3-star accommodation. The room was nice and tidy, although the tv didn’t work or could not be started (there was no manual to be found). The breakfast was a little too cheap I think, beside yoghurt there wasn’t much to choose from. No bacon or sausages for the scrambled eggs, no ham or similar to the toast etc.

The hotel was nice, but we got there after 6:00pm and the check in process was terrible. After I spent 30 minutes filling out a form on the computer, it failed. There was a phone next to the laptop with a HELPLINE, so someone did pick up and help me, but it was a pain after travelling all day. Other guests were telling me "good luck with that".

Hier wird am Personal gespart! Für so ein unpersönliches Hotel und leistungsarmes Hotel ist der Preis nicht gerechtfertigt! Keine Infos/Stadtplan vor Ort etc. Entgegen den Buchungsangaben ist die Rezeption nicht persönlich besetzt. Die anwesende Mitarbeiterin räumt nur den Frühstücksbereich auf, kümmert sich aber nicht um anreisende Gäste! Diese müssen einen komplizierten Self-check-in am PC durchführen. Den angekündigten Code zum Hotelzugang habe ich nie erhalten! Hätten mir nicht andere Gäste die Türe geöffnet . . . Frühstück wurde ab 9:00 Uhr nicht nachgefüllt. Nur eine Mitarbeiterin anwesend, diese hatte alle Hände voll zu tun, das Geschirr abzuräumen und konnte sich nicht um das kleine Buffet kümmern. Im ersten Zimmer war das Waschbecken so klein, dass ich es als Handwaschbecken bezeichne, die schiefe Ablagefläche direkt über der Toilette. Betten gut - jedoch ist die Tram von draußen so laut, dass mir keine ruhige Nacht vergönnt war. Preisliste in der Minibar fehlt. Personal - wenn eines da ist (Zimmermädchen) freundlich.
