6/10
When I booked this place on Orbitz I thought I was getting a room in an hotel. I guess I should have paid more attention but I was in need of a hotel and this was in the right place when I needed it. This is an apartment in a modern building. This was not at all clear when I booked the place so it took a while to find it. An email that I received later explained that this was a private apartment and how to get it.
The apartment is a clean, modern place. It looked like it had never been used. It is in a good location except for a very noisy bar on the other side of the street, directly under the windows. There is no built-in air conditioning. There are two cooling floor units that need the windows open for vent hoses in order to operate. The open windows let in all the street noise. It was somewhat fiddly to get the air cooler unit's hose out the window and still connected to the unit. It was very noisy in the apartment with both units running.
Overall I thought the unit was very expensive for what it offered, especially considering the noise. There were lots of assorted extras for sale such as $40 bottles of wine, which filled a good part of the fridge. I thought this was totally unnecessary as the area is filled with bars and restaurants. The only real plus is the location which is very central: just a 15 min walk from the train station.
For this price I don’t expect to have to wear earplugs to sleep. The Orbitz price didn’t include CHF 200 tax (for two nights). (abbrev.)
