Reviews of Hotel Zurich 2 stars

Nowhere near as bad as some here say. Granted, I have been to this road before (the Ibis Styles next door), so I know it can be rather “interesting” - especially at night. However, I was travelling on my own and never felt unsafe. The room was clearly newly refurbished and was very clean. The lady who gave me the key at the bar downstairs was very friendly and welcoming.

Yes, the road outside is loud at night (though I knew this would be the case as I’ve stayed on this road before). Grab a few beers and you’ll sleep fine.

The room is pretty basic, but decent size and has the absolute bare necessities. The staff were friendly, the room was clean and the hotel was within walking distance to all attractions with lots of restaurants and shops nearby - train station just up the road.

The booking.com advert is VERY misleading. “Lively” is a huge understatement as the hotel is situated directly above a nightclub and the rooms aren’t soundproofed in the slightest. By the time the music goes off at 12AM/1AM, you then have to listen to barrels and chairs being dragged around for a further hour. You also need to be prepared for your room to smell of cigarettes, since the customers at the bar will be sat outside smoking all night and it gets into the rooms. I am a female and was travelling solo, I didn’t realise the hotel was in the red light district, as such every night I would have to get back to the hotel for 5pm/6pm and hunker down until the morning as it felt extremely unsafe even the evening, with lots of drunk people around (obviously) and some people that appeared to be on drugs too. I would not recommend this hotel for a woman or even a couple of women travelling. This hotel is by far the cheapest around, but it is worth paying extra to be in a hotel that A) doesn’t smell like cigarettes B) you can actually go to sleep before midnight C) you can go out for dinner in the evening because it doesn’t feel like you’re taking your life into your own hands by going out after dark.

Clean, neat.

The street is loud.

The room complies with the description on the booking.com. it is small but that is sufficient for one night. Towels and a small bathroom are available. It is clean and dark at night.

The hotel is located above the bar. The music was loud almost until the midnight. There is no lift and you can hear guests returning to their Rooms.

Room was clean and bed is comfortable. Staff very friendly.

Too much noise (music on high volume) from the bar/pub just under the Hotel, the noise disturb until midnight. Shower water very weak and toilet is tight.

Good location by train station and transport links.

Pretty basic but that's fine for the money

Locations hi

Bar below loud music people screaming

Location

Good value for money Reminds me of an apartment Clean Good location Gets job done

A bit noisy but for the price paid, can't complain

It’s in a busy place but I knew that when I booked it. I prefer that part of Luxembourg for the atmosphere

Convenient to the train station so you can use Luxembourg's free public transportation to get here easily. There are affordable eateries in the nearby area, and it's proximal to the southern part of the old town, so even if you walk (it's two bus stops from the old town) it's not far to move yourself or your luggage. Room was spacious. Included a fan to cool the room. Adequate space and hangers for clothes. Comfortable chairs. Decent bed. Ample toilet paper. Secure. The outer door has a code. The male bartender even offered to key it in for me when I came in at night, but I had it memorized and didn't need his help.

Europe has this strange fascination with douvets. No sheets on the bed, so you sleep under a douvet or nothing, and since it was July the douvet was a bit much. The table fan helped. The establishment sits over a bar. The bar got quiet after 11PM, but there were lights from businesses across the street that flashed all night, so it might not be the most restive place. I could hear drunks in the street below outside. There was also construction which started at 6AM, but since I was catching a train at 0715 it wasn't bad for me. If you are taller that 6' (183cm) you may have trouble sitting on the toilet as the room was barely large enough for me to do so. But that's the only issue I had with the room itself.

Good hotel with clean room, friendly staff and good location at a affordable price.

The room is not very cosy. It lacks some decorative elements and some extras.

Close to the station

Directly over a loud bar that stays open late and has very loud music. Cigarette smoke and smell in the hallway by the bar travels upwards and can be smelled in the room.
