Swiss Night By Fassbind

“Good option for Zurich Opera house”

Our family of 3 stayed in a triple room for 2 nights at Hotel Swiss Night by Fassbind in Zurich. We booked with the hotel directly which offers a 5% discount, in addition, they will reimburse your transit fare from either the HB or airport, so make sure you save the ticket and submit it at check-in. The triple room is an okay size for a hotel room in a big city. The bathroom is quite spacious for European hotels. Even though the hotel advertises it has a/c, it doesn't work that well. Our first night was hot and humid and even with the a/c on for a few hours, it didn't really feel cool at all. Luckily the weather cooled off for our second day so we were able to get some cool air by opening the windows. wifi works well. There is a safe, and electric kettle in the room. The hotel is easily reachable by Tram #3 from HB (3 stops to Kuntshaus, then a 7-min walk). To get to the lakefront, it is a 10-min walk down hill. We picked this hotel for its proximity to the opera house, which is also a 10-min walk. Given its location in a residential area, we find our room very quiet. The shutters work great at keeping light out. We paid extra for breakfasts (20CHF if you prebook). Breakfast room is in the basement and they start serving at 6:30am for early birds. The spread is very good and the breakfast room is clean and spacious.

“Nice two days in Zurich”

Very nice hotel, easy to arrive by feet to the city centre. Room was spacious , clean and comfortable.

All in all good experience.

“clean, comfortable, near tram line”

In many ways, a typical small European hotel with teeny tiny elevators and narrow winding stairs from one floor to the next. The rooms are clean and comfortable.

In many ways, a typical small European hotel with teeny tiny elevators and narrow winding stairs from one floor to the next. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Breakfast is served on the lower level and should be enough to satisfy most any traveler. The hotel is themed with cows and cow-items: cow bells, murals on the ceiling. The parking area is quite small, but it's an easy walk from one of the main tram lines.

“Decent but overpriced hotel close to city center – a few disappointments.”

We spent our final night in Switzerland at the Swiss Night. It is located on a little side street in a suburb on the east side of the river.

We spent our final night in Switzerland at the Swiss Night. It is located on a little side street in a suburb on the east side of the river. It is about a 10-min walk to the river and the city center, so quite a good location for exploring central Zurich. There is a small parking lot out front, however we were extremely disappointed that they made us pay an additional 25CHF to park our car at their premises. This amounts to nothing more than price gouging your valued guests – very unwelcome! Check-in was fast and easy and the reception staff were all friendly and helpful. Our room was nice, clean and comfortable, but a little on the small side. It unfortunately smelled of cigarette smoke even though it was supposedly a non-smoking room. The room was tidy and very well-organized, with coffee station and computer desk. The Wifi worked great but the TV lacked any English language programming. We were told on check-in that the fitness center was open 24/7, however when we went down for a morning workout at 5:30am before our trip to the airport, we found the doors all locked and no one at reception until 6:30am - another big disappointment about this place. Overall we had a decent stay, however we were a bit disappointed with the overall service. We felt it was very, very over priced, probably double what it should be. We’d definitely look for somewhere else to stay next time in Zurich and can’t really recommend this place, especially with the high price.
