Zurich District 5-Industriequartier 3-star Hotels

During my recent stay at Hotel Montana in Zurich, Switzerland, I encountered several issues that made my experience less than satisfactory. One of the major concerns was the lack of hot water for bathing, despite the freezing temperatures (-2 Celsius Degree) outside. After enduring a long 19-hour flight, not being able to take a warm shower was truly terrible. When I reported the issue to the hotel staff, they assured me that it would be fixed within an hour. However, they failed to provide any details on how the problem would be resolved. To my dismay, even the next day, there was still no hot water available. However, I also want to highlight another problem I faced during my stay, which was the uncomfortable breakfast experience due to the absence of heating in the hotel's restaurant. When I went to have breakfast, I expected a warm and cozy environment to start my day. Unfortunately, the lack of heating in the restaurant made the breakfast experience quite uncomfortable. The chilly temperatures inside the dining area made it difficult to enjoy my meal and affected the overall ambiance. I hope the hotel management takes note of this issue and implements measures to ensure a more pleasant dining experience for future guests. I hope that my feedback is taken into consideration, as I believe it will contribute to the improvement of the hotel's services. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I trust that necessary steps will be taken to rectify the situation.

The hotel has a simple design, everything look clean and minimalistic, the hallway is looking like a prison. The air flow of the hotel is so strange. When anyone open their hotel door or close. You will also feel/hear it inside the room every hour. The hotel room does not include any mini bar, fridge, kettle. I first checked in and got a room in 2nd floor. But when i opened the door, it has very strong cold wind blow to me from inside to outside for 5 seconds, I am not going to explain this in here, you can interpert yourself. I went to change the room to 3rd Floor. I found there are so many kid palm mark on the window glass, meanwhile the bathroom sink suddenly has water leaking issue. So i changed the room again. After that I got the other room it looks fine, only the shutter in the window is broken, I cannot switch it to be opened. But after 1 day, the card is no longer working, I went to chnage the card again. Then I found that cleaning service forgot to close the window. It provides only 1 combination gel for shower/hair wash. And the hair dryer is very poor. Good things are the stuffs are kind, and I could borrow the kettle by paying 20CHF deposit from the reception. *like come on it is only a kettle... * And you could borrow unbella for free.

We stayed in both the main hotel and in the guesthouse across the alley and were quite satisfied if both facilities knowing they been renovated within the last year. The main hotel is right around the corner from Zürich HB the rooms feature a nice private bath (new, big & clean) and nice modern styling. The guesthouse as new and stylish as hotels go, but the modular bath/shower unit with its semi-transparent blue glass leaves a lot to be desired when everyone in the room knows what your doing on toilet (very little privacy). We luckily are prepared and carry large binder clips and clipped a bath towel across the glass during our stay. The staff are amazing and extremely cordial. Free coffee/tea is offered 24/7 in the main hotel and on each floor. Guest house residents must go back across the alley to the main lobby. Day tour buses are right across the street for easy access. We would stay again definitely.

You have to be prepared for what you will get here: check-in at the counter of a busy convenience store, followed by a climb up a bunch of stairs. At the end of them, the room is extremely small, though very clean. We appreciated the small sink and refrigerator, as well as the free coffee on offer in the store. The worst thing about our experience was tremendous noise from some machine in the street at 2 in the morning — louder than anything I’ve ever heard in an urban setting before. Still, in the world’s most expensive city, the price felt like a bargain, and the staff was friendly and helpful.

Hotel is very close to the main train station. Room and bathroom was good and clean with all facilities. Comfortable bed. Room may be too small for 2 people in the Standard double room. Breakfast is in the nearby Hotel Montana and was the standard fare. It is a self check-in place but there was a staff present who was managing both the cafe and the check-in. He was also kind enough to let me check-in before time as my room was ready even though I reached couple of hours before check-in time. Greatly appreciated. Overall, I enjoyed my stay here.

The room is big enough for a family (two children), breakfast is rich, you can walk to the nearby supermarket pharmacy and bakery, parking fee is 7 euros. The environment is quiet and a bit prosperous, near the bus terminal. There is a post office next door to send postcards

The location is fantastic, just 2 blocks away from the tram and 3 stops away from the Zurich HB train station. The building has a lift, so apart from the few step at the building entrance, no need to haul luggage up. The room is small, but well equipped with stove, pots and pans, cutlery, kettle, microwave, refrigerator. The bathroom is small and there is very little sink space, but there is a shelf on the wall and mirror box for you to put your toiletries. The front desk closes at 6pm, and after hours check in was a little bit stressful, as I tried to call the after hours number and it was unreachable for 10 mins. The hotel had apparently previously sent the access code for the key box to my email, but as I had booked through Trip.com, the access code was sent to Trip.com and not me, and Trip.com did not forward me the access code prior to my arrival. Luckily, after 10 mins I tried to call again and someone finally picked up and I was able to get the access code. Although my room was right next to the lift, it was pretty quiet and the soundproofing was good between the rooms. However, the soundproofing was terrible between the floors. When people upstairs were walking or pulling chairs, we could hear everything and sometimes it continued late into the night. Overall, I would stay here again because the price was really good for what it was in the area. Also, front staff Ivory was very friendly and helpful.

A very affordable hotel at switzerland, especially Zurich. Given that most bnb was quite expensive and not quite affordable for a young traveller like me. This hotel is good as in the environment and service. Close to supermarket and tram stations also. (Roughly 5mins walk)

Although it is almost two weeks by now that I stayed in the Hotel Sankt Gotthard in Zürich, I feel that I should give my feedback to this truly unpleasant stay: A colleague of mine first booked a room from Monday 19th to Tuesday 20th (CHF 350!!!) and later he added a second night the day before, from Sunday to Monday (CHF250). Arriving they give me a room so I would not have to change after day one. No comment that they would charge me 2 x CHF 350. Before my arrival, I asked the reception where I could park my car. As they do not have a hotel parking, they suggested I should use the close by parkings at Globus or City Parking. I chose Globus and was surprised to get a bill over the amount of CHF 188 for 43 hrs parking. Two old and very narrow elevators, one for 2 persons and the other for 4 persons with a bit of luggage. The room was small and narrow, and the bed was covered by 4 huge pillows and a big bedspread, but no place to put all that stuff. I had to put it on the floor. The bathroom was, I would say, about at least 20 years old. Breakfast: a barren room, 2 sleepy and yawning young people behind the buffet, which was partially set up on the bar of the hotel. The space in front of the buffet was so narrow that hardly 2 people could pass by eachother. The only one coffee machine was positioned in the far angle of the buffet. Where only one person could walk to the machine. The second person had to wait 3 meters away and let the first person walk out of this kind of cul-de-sac. No background music in the breakfast room, so that you could hear other hotel guests’ knives and spoons on the plates and on the table. There was still water on the buffet. When I asked for sparkling water I was told that I had to pay extra for this. Arriving in my room after day one: the bed was made, but the coffee cups were not cleaned and the waste on the table was still there. No water refill. I complained and reception sent a room service. When I came back from dinner: The cups were cleaned, the waste was gone. But a cleaning rag lay on my bedside table and the TV remote control was gone. With the help of the receptionist, we found it under the bed. When checking out they could not print out my invoice. They promised they would send it to me immediately as the printer would work again. The day after the bill had not arrived yet. I had to call the reception to get the invoice sent. All in all a very unpleasant experience from the start to the end. I would never recommend this hotel to anyone.
