Convenient location with some bizarre features

3.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 2 Jul 2024
Hotel is conveniently located. It's 15-20 minute walking distance from Oerlikon station but you can catch a tram or a couple of frequent buses that bring you almost to the door. Tram takes you direct to Burkliplatz on the lake front. Room was specious and clean, staff was friendly and helpful. Luggage storage is available for free which is a great convenience.

We don't pay much attention to bathrooms, just need a stall to take a shower. But the one here demands a detailed review. It had a partial glass door with some transparent designs so anyone can see everything you are doing inside. There is no sound barrier so if your partner wakes up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom you have to wake up too. Holiday Inn, please fire the New Age Artist who designed this dysfunctional glass cage and hire a carpenter to fix the door.

Breakfast was another shortcoming. They offered a limited "continental" version for 15 CHF and once we started grabbing items told us it was limited to bread, butter, juices and coffee! Not even cheese and yogurt? The humble Express in Lucerne offers a feast in comparison for free.

Responded 25 Jul 2024
Dear hayagreeva,

Thank you for selecting our Holiday Inn Zürich - Messe while visiting Zürich and for providing feedback about your experience. It's a pleasure having you as our guest.

I am truly sorry you did not experience an exemplary stay due to our bathroom and our breakfast. This is certainly below our usual high standard of service. Please be certain that I have noted and forwarded your feedback for the management to improve. In the middle of your experience, I am glad our room's cleanliness and the hotel's location were still appreciated.

Please grant us the opportunity to prove ourselves again.

Best Regards,

Ben W.

This IHG property is in a great location. Close to the airport, quiet and surrounded by several public transportation options. The staff is very professional and friendly. Lory at the front desk was extremely helpful on several occasions with recommendations for places to see, best restaurants and directions to get there. This made our stay very pleasant. We will definitely stay here the next time we visit Zürich.

The extensive breakfast is included. The staff (Lory, Fabian and Cristina) went above and beyond to be of service. Their recommendations were spot on.
The cleaning staff were equally helpful.
The hotel is located near a tram station that gave easy access to the downtown.

Strategically located opposite Zurich Messe exhibition halls and just a short walk from Oerlikon train station, Holiday Inn meets the expected Holiday Inn standards. Rooms are large and with lots of light, with ample and comfortable beds. The bathroom is well designed even if the shower inevitably wets the floor and the flush did not fully work! Breakfast is varied enough and fairly priced for the Zurich stanards. Service was kind and fast. Recommended.

Upon arrival we were greeted with a smile. Fabian one of the front desk clerks took excellent care of us during our stay. He was pleasant, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. We were even upgraded to one of the executive rooms which was quite nice. Some of the other persons who assisted and was helpful was Andrej (front desk clerk) and the manager of the restaurant Prim and waiter Junied...hopefully all names are spelled correctly. All of our needs were met, and this will definitely be our chosen hotel for future travels to Switzerland. One small suggestion would be to ensure all staff is aware that face cloths are available and in rooms upon arrival.
