Swiss Star Zurich Oerlikon - Self Check-In

not good.

Overpriced, dirty, noisy (the apartment we got was right under one where they were renovating) and very close to no kitchen utensils.

This was a last minute booking due to a flight cancellation. There is no reception at the property but you can easily check in via self service. The rooms were average. The shutters for the windows were not functional and there was a TV in the main room, however, you could not use it because the power cord did not reach the electrical outlet.

Automated communication and check in worked fine. Located right at Oerlikon station, convenient walking distance to the fair (Halle 550). Kitchenette is a plus. Bathroom and kitchen was clean. Iron and hair dryer included. For Zürich measures price was ok. But thats about all positive features that I can find. Furniture is simple and worn off (see photos). The fake leather of the couch stuck to my body after getting up. Very hot in summer, noise of the station starting at 5pm was perceived incredibly loud in the apartment (literally like the train would be crossing the flat). Building kind of dodgy (but friendly) as well, resident neighbour doors open and chatting across the hallway. This place has no intention to provide a pleasant stay, but just tp provide a bed in a traffic wise good location. Ok for a night if you have to go to Halle 550, but dont expect much.

We needed an inexpensive spot for a spontaneous change of plans and found this apartment. It has a small kitchen which we didn’t utilize, and a small sun room. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was adequately stocked with shampoo and towels. There is no A/C if that matters. FYI: The room key also unlocks the entrance door.
