    The room, kitchen, and shared bathroom was dirty. The ceiling was falling I. The bathroom so as you were showing you would get cement pieces on you because the ceiling was broken over the shower. The kitchen was nasty and needs an up grade. Not what I expected.

    Room #6 is a former smoker’s room. The stench is still lingering. Locks on bathroom doors don‘t work. Overall very run down and slightly gross. Staying longer than one night would likely be highly unpleasant.

    Only 5 minutes walk from Oerlikon train station.

    No chargers or shower access. Code I was given for key didn’t work, and when I called line operator only spoke German (which I speak a bit of, but took some Time to explain and understand one another, was worried I annoyed them). Other than that great! Good location, clean bedsheets, nice place!

    There was no shower open to me. It said on my app that there were bathrooms present, but in the evening / next morning when I wanted to shower residents of the area I was directed to told me no. No problems, I find somewhere else. Bigger issue was no charging ports anywhere in the room - very irritating. Other than that, great location and good value for money. But would have been nice to know it is only so cheap as there is no proper toilet facilities and charging ports. Also, the key code I was given for access to a key was wrong so I phoned to ask what the code was (they only spoke German on the phone - no problem I can speak a little German too, but I can imagine difficult for other tourists) and we’re very unfriendly witn me over phone about this even though this was their issue! Made me feel small. Notwithstanding, for the price and location I would stay here again, but let people know What they’re getting in to!

    There was no key in the lockbox upon arrival so we had to wait around to be let in. We weren’t the only ones affected by this as people knocked on our door at 11pm asking us for the key (as if we would know!) the bathroom also stank and hadn’t been cleaned in a while.

    There was a Black guy in Room No. 2 where the Girl is living . That Drunk guy entered into my room and threaten me. He was Drunk. 2. There is no staff at the location. So all people who come first time have problem to get his/her room. Even I saw one guy opened the lockBox but there was no key in the box. Kindly throw out all that whores who captured the rooms and making trouble with Back or Drunk people. Thank you

    the matress laid on the ground, there where no towels, the room was really cold (it took ages until the radiator warmed the room). the light of the hall in the middle of the rooms was always on and shined massively through the room window above the door. I could read at night in there. And one Picture on booking.com shows a beautiful corner house but this is not the building of the hotel, it is the building right next to it.

    relatively cheap, access to a kitchen

    1. In coming and self checking it appeared, that my key is absent. I needed to call , and it was a challenge to connect, besides they were not speaking English. 2. I needed to check in urgently and go, but in my room the was somebody another. Problem was solved in half an hour - they gave me another room. 3. It was quite cold in a room, only bed and table. 4. Owners should pay mire attention to make it more cozy, currently conditions are too much spartan, no any wish to come back

    Location was good fir my aims

    The room we were given had a strong, unbearable smell of diesel, making it impossible to stay inside. The whole place is a ruine. The room was in very poor condition – there are large stains, peeling paint, and visible holes in the ceiling. The bathroom was unhygienic, with black mold, crumbling plaster that literally falls from the ceiling, and generally dirty conditions. And that's all was absolutely dirty. Even late in the evening (around 10 PM), there was construction work happening inside the building — with loud cutting tools in use. So, hands away from this place

    The property was extremely dirty and lacked even basic facilities—we didn’t have soap or shampoo. The check-in process was complicated and time-consuming. They held 100 CHF for the key, despite the property being uncomfortable, dirty, and without any staff on site. I tried to contact them via Booking.com, but only received automated responses from a bot instead of a real person. We were forced to check out a day early because the hygiene conditions were unbearable.
