25hours Hotel Zurich Langstrasse

"We were disappointed with our stay at the 25 Hours, despite it being a modern hotel with friendly staff. The main disappointment was the room. It was was tiny and with cheap fixtures. It is clear that the hotel has been built and fit out at the minimum possible cost. The features of the room are designed to look trendy but are actually just a disguise for how poor the build quality is. For example, there was no separate bathroom - the shower door opens straight into the room. The basin for cleaning your teeth was next to the bed. There cupboard to hang your clothes, there is a bent wire hanging from the ceiling you can put hangers on which crumples your shirts. The floors of the room was polished concrete. There is a definite youthful styling that the hotel is attempting to achieve but it is all about how things look rather than how practical the design elements are. For example, our room provided coloring-in pencils with practical use, but no tea and coffee making facilities. The worst discovery in our room was that there was no air conditioning. I phoned reception who confirmed I was not mistaken and the hotel has no air conditioning. Instead, it has a centralised cooling system that was not switched on. In was advised to open the window. This was great on a Saturday night with all of the noise from the bars downstairs coming up. It was a horrible nights sleep. The location is OK near the main train station. It's about a 10 minute walk and it's totally flat and you can walk with luggage. It is not in a particularly nice area, but it's not a bad nor dangerous area either. The hotel's location is not that important because Zurich is pretty compact and we were able to walk to the nicer areas around the river and Altstadt. We went to use the hotel 'gym' and it comprised of a couple of low-quality exercise bikes and the like. On the whole, the 25 Hours Zurich is best avoided."

"Very clean, very cosy and just high quality in infrastructure, design and service. Staff is friendliy and relaxed. You feel instantly at home. Rooms are super cool. Brunch is one of the best I had. Fresh and rich. Everything works. Very customer friendly environment! 10/10 The location is Top!"

"This is a decent hotel and so close the Zurich HB. The directions given on the website is also spot on. We stayed here two years ago but it has shown some wear and tear. It is a happening place as it was packed for drinks and dinner on Sat night! Our room was fine although really odd with the sink near your bed!"
