Great Hotel, great location. - Axel. Date of travel: Oct 2006
This is a fairly new hotel in a quiet suburb, Kloten. I stayed here 11 nights on my Swiss vacation. Has free shuttle service to and from the close Zurich airport. It is very nice and modernly decorated. The train station is located just behind the hotel. The S7 train runs every 30 min to Zurich. Staff is friendly and spoke English. Please learn basic German survival phrases and words since the majority of people dont speak English. You can buy train tickets and exchange currency at front desk. Room is very clean with a very nice bathroom. Beds are comfortable. Bottled water is complimentary. Room has safe but never used it since couldnt figure it out. If you want the TV to wake you up, be warned, once it turns on, volume will go full blast by itself. It scared the hell out of me on the 1st morning. Also, be very carefull not to hit the "ok" button while you are flipping channels, especially the PAY TV channels. It will not ask for confirmation, and you will get charged $17! This button is between the up and down channel buttons. This happened to me on my last day before check out, and there was nothing the front desk girl could do for me. This is the only incident that got me mad. Anyway, there is an a/c control in room, but I prefered to open windows to get natural cool air. Got used to the occasional outside noise. There is a restaurant on the main floor, but for the same prices you can get a very nice dinner in old town Zurich. As for the breakfast buffet, found it expensive (15 francs,about $12 p/person) for just cereals and bread (there no such thing as eggs, ham and bacon). Instead, go to the Spar supermarket across the street and get anything you want for way better prices including wines and beer. Also, at the train station there is a Migros convenience store that serves very good coffee and pastries. I definately would recommend the Allegra hotel. Hope my review is helpfull.
