As a student traveller, I have never left a bad review on a budget hotel before HOWEVER, the key to the apartment did not work and we had to change rooms, there was no reception, the building itself was dirty and ill taken care of, our rooms kitchen and tv was not functional but most importantly if you happen to love the sound of trains passing by nonstop at every hour of the day and night right out your window then this is the hotel for you. I will say however that the bed was clean and comfortable which I was very aware of since I was awake for most of the night. Also it is 1h walk away from the city center and we had to rely on the tram system (which was genuinely excellent). Overall 10 out of 10 would not recommend 👍

The location is convenient as it is next to the railway station. However, I didn’t find the stay very comfortable. The mattress was quite hard, which made it difficult to get a good night’s sleep. The room was described as having a garden view, but the window was fixed and covered, so it couldn’t be opened and there was no real view outside. It felt more like a room without a window. There was also a lingering cooking smell in the room, possibly from food prepared by a previous guest, which made the room feel less fresh. Because the property is next to the railway station, it was quite noisy. I wouldn’t recommend it for a relaxing stay or a city break. However, if you just need a place to sleep after a busy day of travelling and plan to leave the next morning, it serves that purpose.

Don't book!!! The price is far too much for this room. 1. The key handover box didn't work, after trying several times I received 2 keys and had to find out which is my room. 2. The room has a balcony, but you can't use it as the blinds were closed and stuck and can't be opened. No maintenance at all. 3. Same with the shower, it works only partly. 4. The TV I had to install and fix by myself. 5. It's very loud if you open the door, lot of train traffic. But the location is ok. 6. At least the service hotline was doing fine, they could be reached immediately and helped me. The room was rather clean. I am very disappointed that Expedia offers such a room without checking the "Swiss" quality first. No, more, sorry.

I had to book this accommodation for a visitor, so I was disappointed by the overall experience. The building has two elevators, and unfortunately neither of them was working during the stay. I also heard reports from other guests saying they had previously gotten stuck inside, which is quite concerning from a safety perspective. The entrance area of the building was very dirty and had a strong unpleasant smell. While the room itself was decent, for the price paid I expected a much better overall experience. Unfortunately, most of the common areas also appeared poorly maintained and unclean, and the overall atmosphere of the building did not feel very comfortable. Personally, I would not recommend this place for families, old people who cannot take the stairs, women traveling alone, or anyone looking for a comfortable and relaxing environment. The pictures didn’t match with what I rented.

Appalling experience. First the check-in didn't work and we had to wait for the most flegmatic staff member to come "help" us by waving his hands and claiming it isn't his problem. But we finally got in after some back-and-forth. Others were not as lucky as they got told their reservations are "cancelled" even if they had proof of their bookings. Then we discovered we had a room in floor 6 and the elevator was broken (as it was for the whole day). The staircases were really dirty with grime and cigarette butts. Then the room itself: it was relatively clean BUT the refrigerator we were promised didn't work BECAUSE THE PLUG COULD NOT BE USED! Several plug outlets were also hanging out of the walls, really safe installations guys. It was unbearably hot in the room and one could not really open the window as there was a direct access to the next room and the nearby station would make sure you will not sleep peacefully. Not recommended at all.
