Dear Guest,
Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your review.

We are delighted that you appreciated the convenience of the tram station located next to the hotel, providing direct access to the city center and the airport.

We are sorry that your stay did not fully meet your expectations. We regret to hear about the misunderstanding regarding the airport shuttle service; this is indeed available through an external partner at a fee which we strive to communicate clearly. Concerning the comfort of the pillows and room condition, please accept our apologies for any discomfort experienced. We are currently undergoing renovations which will address these aspects and upgrade the overall guest experience. We would like to point out that our guests generally appreciate the quality of the service and we take your comment very seriously as we strive to ensure a pleasant stay for every guest.

Our hotel's prime location offers the perfect starting point to explore the vibrant city of Zurich, with its numerous attractions and shopping opportunities. We hope to have the chance to welcome you back in the future to experience our improvements first-hand.

We hope we can welcome you back in the future.
Kind regards,

Monica Moya Amengual, Front office Manager

Dear Sir,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We apologize for your stay not meeting all your expectations. It is regrettable that your experience with our housekeeping service was not up to the high standards we aim to uphold. We understand how important a well-maintained room is to the comfort and satisfaction of our guests.

Furthermore, communication at the reception is crucial, and we are sorry to hear that it fell short of providing the support and solutions you rightfully expected. The absence of a duty manager during your time of need does not reflect our commitment to guest service.

We are currently enhancing our facilities with a full renovation to improve our guests' experiences. We regret any inconvenience this may have caused and appreciate your understanding as we upgrade our hotel.

Nonetheless, our location adjacent to the tram station provides convenient access to both the city center and Zurich Airport. We hope that this, along with our other amenities such as the fitness center and beautiful terrace, will encourage you to consider staying with us again.

We hope that you will allow us the opportunity of providing you with an improved stay in future.
Best regards,


Monica Moya Amengual, Front office Manager

Hotel is poor; scuff marks on the walls, both in the rooms and corridors, stains on the carpets and a general air of disrepair and squalor.
Staff are rude and helpful. No charging point/ adpators for phone - charging machine in lobby.
Hotel under renovation so a building site. Loud. Location far from any tourist sites. Do not stay here.

Room tip: Do not stay here.

My experience here was horrible. The hotel rooms are dirty and covered in stains it was revolting. The tvs are old and the rooms are filthy. The reason we were put here was due to the rubbish airline Swiss airways DO NOT RECOMMEND. The bathrooms are dated and creepy. I was scared staying there. The only reason I am going it one star is because I can’t give it zero.

The hotel is in desperate need of renovation. The carpet was dirty all over. The TV looked about 20 years old. There was no kettle in the room (though there was a nespresso machine). No skin conditioners in the room. The curtains were very old. Food was okay. Would strongly advise against.

I stayed for a night before flying out of Zürich.

Observed three problems and it certainly wasn't not giving us a good experience.

1. Hotel is in the middle of a construction, Elevators wrapped up in construction paper and construction work happening around windows, makes you feel you ended up in a dingy place and I wouldn't even spend 100 euro for this. Not good for families until they complete this work. Stay away!!!

2. Bathroom sink plug was out and I had to keep it in place, yuck!! This was the first time I have seen this, total inconsideration towards guests.

3. Sofa bed was a joke. I have seen decent sofa beds but this was the worst ever. Metal planks could be felt and you are guaranteed a backache (after sleeping on that) for free, a complimentary courtesy staying at this hotel. Either change the sofa bed or simply don't advertise that.

Please stay away from this hotel. There are other hotels next ZRH

One star is for the location and proximity to ZRH

Room tip: Construction in progress until next year Worst ever sofa bed

Dear Guest,
Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your review.

We are pleased that the proximity to Zürich Airport was a highlight of your stay, as our location indeed offers convenient access to the airport and city center via direct tram connections.

We are sorry that your experience did not fully meet your expectations. Our hotel is currently undergoing extensive renovations to enhance our guest experience, and we understand that the current appearance may not provide the most welcoming atmosphere. Additionally, the issues you encountered with the bathroom sink plug and the comfort of the sofa bed are certainly not up to our standard, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. We are committed to providing a high level of comfort and service and regret that we fell short in this instance.

Novotel Zürich Airport Messe is ideally situated for both business and leisure travelers, offering easy access to the beautiful city of Zürich and its many attractions. We look forward to showcasing our newly renovated facilities upon completion.

We hope we can welcome you back in the future.
