after landing in zurich at 11pm, i thought this place
worth an extra hour drive and a few extra bucks,
because i can wake up here with a few
laps in the pool and a session in the sauna.
bad idea. first of all, they gave me the late check-in code, but never explained to me,
that my room is not in the main house. i was looking up and down for 30 mins but all rooms
started with 3,4,5 and mine with a 1.... so i need
to have somebody to come on site, and after all this time wasted, show me where this other building is. without him i would never find it. it was not marked anywhere. also, the difference between the two bulidings is like a youth hostel and a 4 stat hotel (in fact this "other" bullilding is some home for nuns or church workers i think... not that anything wrong with that, but its not the same quality)
second of all, the sauna didnt work at all and the
swimming pool (12m long) is charged at 15.50 chf. i always find it odd when a hotel charges hotel guests for its own in-house pool, but if thats the case, it should be VERY clearly communicated everywhere (on hotels.com there is zero indication of this extra
fee)
all in all i wasted a lot of good sleep time and could have get a nice bed and breakfast right at the zurich airport for about 70% of what i paid here.
the breakfast was pretty good quality.
