We arrived into Zürich airport and got the train to the main station which cost CHF 6.80 each. From there it is an easy 8 minute walk to the Widder Hotel where you pick up the keys. Dennis showed us to the apartment which is only about 50 metres round the corner. The apartment itself is up on the third floor with no lift. The rooms are quite big but have an industrial feel to them. I think they must have been storage at some point. There’s steel lockers and fluorescent strip lighting which would be easy to replace and give the bedroom a much cosier feel. The bed and fittings are from the hotel so are of good quality but the duvet cover was maybe a king single for a queen size bed and the pillows were not good. It was very hot and there is a fan but it is very small and could do with an upgrade. The pocket wifi was extremely small - we went back to see if there was anything that could be done but Dennis was offhand (advised not to use google maps) and it felt like he just couldn’t be bothered. Also weren’t given a charging cord and it ran out of juice early the next morning.
The location is great, easy to walk to the lake and old town but bear in mind that if you arrive on a Sunday a lot of things are shut or close early.
Water pressure in the shower is excellent and the windows do a great job of blocking street noise.
