Reviews of Süsse Wohnung in Zürcher Altstadt 3

The apartment was spacious, comfortable and well-equipped. It was within walking distance of the central station, and very close to the beautiful river. There were great views from every window, and the balcony was lovely.

Nothing; Zürich is a pricey place to stay, so this cost more than any other apartment during our trip, but I understand that this apartment offers comparatively good value for money.

Large apartment. Great location. Very nice

Location Wonderful kitchen Hair dryer Angela very helpful

Second bedroom a fold out bed and a bit hard Stairs steep for us to carry suitcases up and down

The location is very ideal to a group or solo traveller who wants to go around Switzerland, there’s a restaurant as well and close to everything

the statue in the kitchen gives me a creep at night

Upon arrival, we encountered a minor issue which the host promptly and diligently resolved for us. As a frequent traveler, I rarely encounter such exceptional customer service! Additionally, the apartment is situated in a prime location. We’ve had a great stay!

During our stay, the weather was extremely hot, and we were grateful for the portable fans in the bedroom. The addition of air conditioning would further enhance the comfort of the accommodation.

Location is very strategic. Rooms are clean and spacious with good ventillation.

Stairs!

Good apartment at a nice location

The stairs going up to the apartment are narrow and its 2 story high. We had 3 huge bags and was very difficult carrying everything up and down.

Great central location. Lovely apartment. Great communications.

Location location location. Honestly it is an amazing location. Directly above a cafe, with a large tram stop only a minute walk away. It was reasonably quiet from neighbourhood noise for the most part too, which was great. The location alone forgives many (but maybe not all) of the cons. Historic. No doubt that the apartment has some charm, as you might find in an older building. I like this, and don't expect things to be perfect. It's a trade-off. One of the rooms also has a small balcony which is a nice feature. We were visiting in January(winter) and it was a well heated, warm apartment. This is important. Note, not sure how it goes in summer, no AC. Water ran hot (after giving it 5 minutes or so to heat up) Whilst not listed, nor guaranteed, we did have access to the laundry facility on the floor below that belongs to the cafe on the ground floor. This was hugely helpful. Zurich is super expensive (just generally), so I do feel the apartment is well priced.

The floors are VERY squeaky. You expect old floors will be noisy, but these are not original floors. We were 4 staying here and heard everytime anyone got out of bed. Also the floors are uneven, with some unexpected angles and step changes between rooms. I really think they need to be relayed. The unit is up on the third floor with some very narrow winding stairs. Please be aware of this if you are immobile in any way as it might be a challenge. The kitchen has a stove top but no microwave or oven. Coffee pods were provided but no milk unfortunately. There is a large, mostly useless, life-size chef holding a serving pan taking up space in what is already cramped space in the kitchen. The TV has no Arial connection, so only streaming services, no live TV. The remote batteries were flat with no spares to be found. There were no instructions on the unit, like where to take rubbish etc. It's pretty standard now to have a guest booklet with useful information of the unit and/or surrounding area. There was only one key provided. Problematic given that you need the key to open the door from outside but also to lock the apartment from the inside. We were 4ppl and not always wanting to go to the same place, but with only one key, this was a challenge. I did request another key but unfortunately one wasn't provided. I had requested for the 2 sofa beds to be made up, but unfortunately this was not done which was just one small challenge we didn't need on late arrival. Being above a working cafe kitchen, there are some strange smells that fill the stairways. They don't penetrate the apartment itself which is good, because despite the cafe food being good, the other cooking smells are definitely not. Be aware that the building across the street is under major renovation (as of January 2025). Obviously this can't be helped, but it did create a bit of noise and isn't wonderful to look at.

The location is absolutely perfect. The apartment is in the middle of the Zurich. 10-15 minutes walk to main train station, 3 minute walk to local train station and you are literally 5 minutes' walk to everything you want to see on your stay.. Angela (the daughter of the owners) is great in communication. The restaurant downstairs is also owned by the same family, and having 4 vouchers for coffee and croissant was great. The apartment also has everything needed for the short stay (shampoo/conditioner and kitchen utensils). Having 3 bedrooms, if you are traveling with the family, is great.

The apartment is on the 3rd floor and the spiral staircase is very narrow so if you have larger suitcases or have issues going up/down the stairs, this will be a big problem for you (it got tiring going up and down the stairs for the family and we are all in good shape). Having the restaurant downstairs can be a blessing and a curse as the common area really smells of food. The floors in the bedroom are very creaky, and you can hear everyone walking at night (if anyone got to go to the bathroom, for example). The bathroom and shower are uncomfortable with shower pressure being very weak. The kitchen is very small and has no table, so you are utilizing the table in one of the bedrooms. Also, during our stay, on the the couches would not pull out (we think it's broken), so one of the kids was sleeping on (essentially) sofa. While it is a 3 bedroom apartment, I would only recommend this for families and not 2 couples traveling together.

It’s a fantastic location.

The kitchen was not well set up with essential items as many other AirBnB’s are when you are arriving late. You also had to navigate three sets of very narrow and steep stairs. This was not obvious as part of the Booking and we were lucky to have a couple of strong guys with us to be able to get us into the apartment with our bags. This should be noted for any future bookings as I know many people who would not have physically been able to get into the apartment.

Creaky floors Bathroom door lock is malfunctioning

The location was great. Size was perfect

It is in a very good position.

The furniture is dated and linen clean but a bit old. A bit noisy due to restaurants in the evening .
