Swiss Star Apartments Aemtlerstrasse

Good position and room. The only problem is that they didn't send me the code to get the key, so I had to call them while being there, which resulted in high roaming costs...

Emphasis on NO FRONT DESK, but clean and cozy, I would book again... just wish I would have read fine details of no front desk service/check in.

The apartment was rather large, and very clean. A bit bare bones as far as apartment amenities (no coffee maker for example), but for a hotel room, it did have most all you could want. That included an iron, and a washing machine! The decor is a bit sterile, but perfectly serviceable. The neighborhood is great being only a short walk to a major tram stop and large market. And the price could not be beat, in what is a super expensive city. I'd highly recommend this apartment.

Stay was good. If you don't have mobile phone, it is recommended to call them in advance to get the code. With code, you can get the key from the box. There is no reception in the building. The apartment building has a lift. Apartment has small kitchen with a refrigerator, induction heater. You can reach there either by tram or train+bus. Train+bus is quicker one. Take a train from Zurich HB to Zurich Hardbrucke(3 to 4 minutes travel; just the next stop). Take the lift to come up to the bus stop, Take the bus no 33, Get down at Krematorium Sihlfeld stop(5 minutes travel). The apartment building is 5 minutes walk from bus stop/tram stop. To check out you have to drop the key in the box outside the building(same box from where you got the key while check in)

Very nice, just no A/C but the weather was good so it was fine. A little hot during he day but the Swiss air is so fresh it wasn't a problem.
