What guests think

At ibis budget Zurich Airport, travellers consistently highlight the easy airport access via the tram stop outside, generally clean, compact rooms, and fair value for short stays, while noting trade‑offs typical of budget properties.

Many reviews stress the very small room sizes and a bathroom layout with a shower opening into the room, which can lack privacy and sometimes leaks. Several guests mention weak or restricted air conditioning and occasional plane or hallway noise; dining options nearby are limited and on-site breakfast quality and value vary. Expect a simple, efficient overnight base near the airport rather than a full‑service stay.

Great access to ZRH airport if you have an early flight. We had a rental car which was accommodated with a 20 franc per day fee and an easily accessible and secure parking building connected to the hotel. Elevators from the parking building takes you directly to the front desk or somewhere in the hotel. Staff was very helpfull and spoke english. Our room had a broken AC unit and abroken toilet light bulb. and we were swiftly moved to a room with working AC. They explained that the AC only cooled the room up to a certain temperature (23C or something like that) and we had to open the window if we wanted it to be cooler. Overall decent for a short stay for 3 people with luggage.

We understand it is budget but it wa snore like a hostel. The staff mentioned d prior to visit that microwave works which wasn’t the case and one kettle for all the guests in the common area even water was only kept there too close to airport to hear the flights. Will not recommend wud go to other place for the price

Our room was clean and the bed was comfortable. However, two emails that I sent to enquire about transport to the airport went unanswered. There’s no shuttle bus and taxis to the airport cost around 20-25 Swiss francs for a 3 minute journey, the trams starts at 4.55 am. Best tip - WALK the 15 mins down the road to Zurich Airport.

Quite close to the airport and the metro trains so it's convinient. Tenants have access to do laundry as well (washing machine / dryer). Only drawback in my opinion is that tenants dont' have access to a microwave after hours so if you want to heat up your food, or buy one of the packaged dinners they sell onsite - you won't be able to heat it.

Visited this hotel for 1 night in September. Booking was simple and hotel is easy to find. There are transport options connecting to the airport and city centre. It's viable with a car also, but parking does cost a bit. Outside parking is very limited and difficult to find. The hotel itself is busy at all times, being close to the airport. Place is clean and tidy. The only disappointed was the bathroom as it's really small and a little impractical. To note also, the landing path for the planes is right on top of the hotel so expect noises during operating hours.

This a budget hotel. The female guest service were not at all friendly. The rooms (I have booked 2 rooms for a family of 6 for 6 nights) are very very small. Could not move and no space if you have more than 2 big suitcases. The breakfast was a massive disappointment, too expensive and nothing but bread and cold meats. The only good thing with this hotel is the laundry room and they have microwave and kettle downstairs and you can eat and hang out at the lobby where we spent a few hours every night so not to feel stucked in a very small room. The metro is also right outside the hotel which is very convenient

The room was clean and a nice size. Fantastic shower. The area was relatively quiet; it was a semi-industrial/residential area. There weren't many good food options nearby and the closest grocery stores shut very early. The bed was moderately comfortable, but the fan/AC in the room didn't work and it was very hot in the room, yet the window didn't truly open--it only tilted. It would be nice to have more food available since the only food nearby was multiple blocks away and wasn't open for very long after I checked in. In the lobby, there was a popcorn machine and a couple of small vending machines with very expensive, not-that-appetizing food. The machines didn't accept credit cards. The coffee machine did, and it was great. It wasn't an inexpensive hotel, yet it didn't have several of the amenities of other comparably priced hotels I've stayed in while visiting Switzerland and the EU in general. An in-room fridge would have been so nice, and there was plenty of room for it. I would stay there again, but only because everything else near the airport is so much more expensive and it was right across the street from the tram to the airport. Good dog walking was up closer to the Hilton, about a 15-20 minute walk away.

The room was tiny, smaller than it seems in the photo. The top bunk is undoubtedly difficult to change bedding. It hadn't been done in quite a while. It was filthy. No one was available to change it so they gave us a new sheet to put down on top of the filth. There were no other rooms available. They also would not give us a discount or free parking based on the condition of the room. Look elsewhere. This place was gross

We booked a bunk bed room since there were three of us. But we all ended up sleeping on the bottom double bed. It was way too hard to go down from the top bed. Also, even for a budget hotel, why did the bathroom door had to be frosted glass? We had to hang towels on the door since you could see the person using the shower.. NAKED! LOL I would never stay in this hotel again. You can never argue about it being a budget hotel since I've stayed at other BUDGET HOTELS, but better than this one. It ruined our stay in Switzerland. It was also WAY TOO WARM in the room!

What I liked about this property was the easy access to public transportation that took us directly to the airport. The pizza place next door was great. What I didn’t like was we were sharing our room with our 13 year old daughter so we had to take turns stepping out of the room when someone was in the shower. Even saw a group of guys that were sitting in the hallway waiting for their friend to finish showering. Not very good idea to have a frosted shower door with a mirror directly in front of it. The shower was next to our beds.

I was really disappointed with my stay at this hotel. When I tried to refill my water bottle with the free water in the lobby, one of the male staff members was walking around talking loudly in their native language. My husband politely asked what the problem was since we couldn't understand what the man was saying, but it was clear he was upset. Then, a female staff member told us that guests were not supposed to refill their water bottles. My husband politely explained that we didn't know this, but she responded with a rude attitude. The whole situation felt uncomfortable and unprofessional, especially since we were just trying to use a basic amenity. Overall, this left a bad impression, and I don't think we'll be returning or recommending this hotel. They could have approached us in a more courteous way and spoken in English instead of their language. Staff are not professional at all.

It can be very difficult to leave Zurich Airport by tram, great for getting to the Hibis Hotel because Zurich Airport is very large and it is very easy to get confused between the tram and train departure points.
