Holiday Inn Express Zurich Airport - Ruemlang

If you need a hotel for quick overnight stay that is close to the airport then this is it. it had a shuttle to and from the airport every 30 minutes. decent breakfest. staff were ok.

had better stays

This hotel located five minutes drive from Zurich airport with reasonably regular shuttle service from and to the airport. It's a perfect base at reasonable price for traveler with rail pass to explore Zurich and surrounding area.

Soon after we arrived to our room, we found out that the shower did not drain well. We were given a second room in reasonable time. With both showers, they are very small, and have a shower curtain that blows inwards which makes it feel even smaller (I'm a small person, and it was uncomfortable for me). Also in both showers, there is an adjustable shower head on a vertical bar, yet no way to lock it into place, so it continually falls and continually needs to be readjusted, even in a short shower time, so it was frustrating. The ventilation is so poor that the metal tissue container has rusted. There is also a long frosted window between the bathroom and bedroom, which is inconvenient in the middle of the night if you don't want to wake others up when you go to the bathroom. Lastly, and most importantly, the beds were very uncomfortable. You can feel the springs in the mattress, which is also very flimsy and only twin sized. The place was not very clean, and the carpet was aged with marks. We usually have great experiences with Holiday Inns, yet not here. After all of the added fees, the price jumped from $156 to $191, including parking cost in their hotel parking lot. Although Swiss hotels are not known for their bountiful breakfasts, this one was lacking more than any of the other four hotels we had stayed in during our trip.

the evening food needs to improve. what is available is cooked by microwave.
