Swiss Star Zurich Airport - Self Check-In

Biggest key point, remember to finish the form the location sends you and note the PIN they give you which is five digits. That five-digit number entered into the terminal at the main entrance will give you a six-digit code which is both your front door code and your room code. Remember to take a photo of the screen displaying this with your phone so you don't forget/lose your room code. Also remember there's no staff on site except the cleaning staff who come in the morning. There is a way to call them or communicate through the terminal at the entrance. Communication via messaging on the booking.com site was fine. I've stayed here once before. The rooms are fine for what I needed, just remember Swiss plugs are different to much of Europe so make sure you have an adaptor specifically for Switzerland. There's also no kettle in the room so make sure you have your own means to boil water if you need it. The key factors for me were price (relative to other locations in Zurich) and location. It's both within walking distance of Kloten railway station and the international airport (the route is clearly signposted from across the street and down to the right a bit from the main entrance). I made a point to learn the route from the airport to the hotel this time on foot (last time thanks to the signposts, I was able to walk from the hotel to the airport successfully even though I'd never done it before). There's also an Aldi nearby and several other shops including a Migros. There are also many bus stops but I haven't used those myself. To summarise, the rooms were fine and the big selling points were location (close to the airport and Kloten railway station) and price.

Very clean and comfortable. Fully equipped. Good sized bathroom. Great proximity to the airport and shops and restaurants. Even though there is no reception the staff replied to my email immediately.

The room was very clean and the beds were comfortable. We had a very quiet night before going to the airport early in the morning. Around the corner (3min walk) there is a bus station ("Zum Wilden Mann") that takes you to the airport in 3 stops. A lot of bus lines are frequently leaving from there. The owner of the little bar, outside the apartment house, was very very friendly and helpful.

A very nice, small apartment in a convenient location near a train station and supermarkets. Entry was by keypad and details were sent in advance, it all worked perfectly. The apartment was clean, comfortable beds, fresh bedding and towels. It also had cooking facilities but a kettle would have been a useful appliance as we had to boil water in a saucepan to make a cup of morning coffee. I would have given it 10/10 but it was unfortunately let down by the neighbours. Groups of foreign men (not Swiss) gathered in the car park directly outside the window and sat drinking and making noise late into the night. As it was very hot outside we had the windows open but the people in the next apartment were smokers and had their heads out the window and smoke came directly into our apartment. I know its not the fault of the providers of the accommodation but something to bear in mind. If you don't like smoking or a group of foreign men (not Swiss) drinking beer and talking all night directly under your window then it might not be suitable. That aside there is no nothing wrong with the apartment and doesn't reflect on the owners of the accommodation which was excellent.

The place is close to the airport, I guess that's why people are mainly booking there. It was clean and recently renovated by the looks of it. Compared to the rest of the available places, price was the lowest at the time of booking.
