Dear Guest,
Thank you for this review.

We are glad to hear that you found our location convenient and appreciated the easy access to the tram station right next to the hotel. Our connection to Zurich Airport and the city center is indeed one of our key features, and we are happy that it made your stay more enjoyable.

However, we apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced during your stay. We understand that the room size might not have met your expectations, but please note that all our rooms are designed to provide a comfortable and functional space for our guests.

As for the check-in time, it is set at 3 PM to ensure that our housekeeping team has enough time to prepare the rooms to our high standards. However, we do offer express check-in for guests who may need it.

Lastly, regarding the buffet, we are continuously working on improving our offerings and appreciate your feedback. We will take your comments into consideration as we strive to enhance our guests' dining experience.

We hope to see you again in the future.
Best wishes,

Florian Kretzschmar, General Manager

Reviewed 21 June 2023

Double-bed with sofa-cum bed room sizes are very small. You hardly get space for walking. Food options were fine. They could learn some basic manners and hospitality. I got a call at 11:30pm when I was sleeping to come down to reception immediately and pay the tourism tax of CHF 5 per person. I requested them that it's too late can I pay tomorrow as it's not a big amount, however, the reception told to come down immediately and pay. Very bad hospitality and poor customer empathy. Firstly this should have been asked at the time of checkin only. Secondly, this is not the time to call a customer and disturb privacy.

Avoid this hotel.

The location of the hotel is perfect , close to the airport with the tram station just outside. However the restaurant was closed and it was difficult for us to get lunch or dinner. The rooms and bathrooms are old and run down and needs renovation. The staff was friendly but Hotel not upto Novotel standard .

Checked in and, after settling in, realized that the AC was not functional. TV is not working, and the fridge is not working. No help. Management clueless. Have stayed in other Accor properties and this was the worst. Restuarant not operating as per timings nor the bar. The voucher received could not be be used. Rude Restuarant staff.

Dear Guest globales

We appreciate your review,

We are sorry for the inconveniences that you report, because they do not correspond at all with our standards of guest service that characterize us so much.

It is a pity that you left our facilities with those feelings.

We would like you to give us the opportunity to receive you again in one of our facilities and, in this way, to present you with the wonderful experience we are accustomed to offer.

Best Regards

Priceline said breakfast was included, but the hotel said they did not have that information. The front desk staff in the morning was very rude and refused to provide breakfast despite us showing breakfast included with our reservation documentation.

@Novotel Zurich Airport Messe at Lindbergh- worst policy ever! I booked a room today through Expedia March, 23 at 8 pm CST, for May 25/2023. I cancelled the booking at 10 PM CST. My booking is over 60 days ahead and they would not refund my hard earned money even when I cancelled the reservation within 3 hours of booking it. The hotel denied to refund any amount! And it is not even 24 hours, forget 24 it was 3 hours since I booked and cancelled the reservation.

They would not refund anything under their company policy. Well this is a unequitable and unethical policy, because there is absolutely no reason why you cannot refund someone's hard earned money if someone cancels a booking/reservation within 3 hours. What I call this policy is stealing money from people! Ridiculous. Do not book anything in this hotel! I hope you lose out customers and get all the negative reviews you deserve for these unfair polices.
