The description of the room i booked was for a family of 4 with a separate bedroom and separate living/dining area. All we got was a room with 2 double beds squeezed in and a table in the corner with 3 chairs and 2 cups. Pillows were old, worn and awkward. Towels were also tatty and old. Mould in bathroom and kitchen had to be cleaned before we used sink. Upon check in i had complained about room but was ignored. Wasn't until i was asked for a positive review before check out that my concerns were finally addressed. Apparently there are no family rooms so unsure why the false description advertised. Not cheap for Zurich apartments so will never return here. Try elsewhere

We arrived at the check in time and no one answered the call box, so we called the number on the door. Someone answered and said they would be down in a couple minutes. 10 minutes later, we were finally let in. Only two of the three washing machines and one of the three dryers was working, but there weren't any signs saying they were out of order. Also, there are signs in the unit saying if you don't follow cleaning instructions, you could be charged an extra $60, and daily room cleaning is an extra $10 per day per person. I don't know if this is normal in Zurich, but it's the first time I have seen it. The unit was spacious and the cost was affordable in comparison to other properties.

The property is generally okay and has basic kitchen utensils. However, I must say the communication and staffing are poor. Despite the email stating that a team member would assist during check-in, this was not our experience. We followed the instructions and rang the bell for the office, but we waited for 10 minutes with no response. Ultimately, it was a fellow guest—who was also waiting for assistance—who let us in. Once inside, we waited another 10-20 minutes to be checked in. The staff member who finally assisted us also appeared to be a member of the cleaning staff. Their attentiveness to guests seems unreliable, as we repeatedly saw other guests waiting around the property for extended periods without being attended to.

HORRIBLE! My wife and I travel extensively and the was THE WORST EXPERIENCE EVER. No hot water first day. Called phone number listed as hotel contact but was answered by owner/manager (or someone). The man was rude, angry that we called, and uninterested in helping. He told us to call the office (his was the only number listed. We had no office phone number). No channel changer. Horrible beds and pillows. Old, run down unit with horrible, offensive stench. Candy, empty water bottles and a thick layer of dust under the bed. I had to shower immediately after arriving at the next hotel to wash the unclean feeling I still had from Inside Five. Would NEVER, EVER, EVER stay there again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort
We were very disappointed in our stay. The room was late being ready and we had to wait in the lobby even though we actually showed up after the check in time. The bed only had one single comforter for the queen size bed and two people. We wanted to turn on the fan as the room was very stuffy, but the fan was so grimy and almost disgusting, the night table beside the bed was broken and unusable, and overall the room was not well cared for. The walls are very thin and not noise resistant at all. We could hear people talking and using the bathroom etc. It is quite a walk from downtown. While we were aware, it seemed further than advertised. In general, not a great stay!
