Hotel Atlantis Guesthouse - Zurich, Switzerland 

didn't expected much, but got less
Posted: Wed, Nov 14 2007
The guesthouse is located in a residential area away from the noisy town or big streets. This should garantee a quite night. But the walls and pipes are so badly soundproofed, that with those guests they had during my stay, there was no sleep before 1 am in the night. The bathroom was as in all most hotels in Zurich I visited far from being clean. Using the shower was no fun with all the mould around. The rest of the room was ok. Breakfast was nothing special. Poor choice and nothing warm. Not worth the money.

The Country Side of Zurich

Stayed here for 2 nights and had a different experience of Zurich. It is located in Triemli - a residential district of Zurich. Train journey from Zurich Main Station to Triemli Train Station is about 15 mins BUT there are only 2 train services per hour. The train station is closer to the hotel (less than 5 mins walk) than the tram station but there is almost no directional sign from the station. The Triemli Tram station is about 25 mins walk and not recommended for those on 1st visit to this guest house. There were no directional signs the moment we leave the tram station and we were lost for about 45 minutes before we found a resident of the area who knew the exact location of this guest house. The hotel staff - from the reception to the restaurant, were very helpful and courteous. There was a basket of fresh apples at the reception table - these apples were from the garden behind the hotel (very fresh and sweet). There is a very beautiful autumn view of the mountains from the back of the hotel. The room was average - had a safe box, dim lighting, hair dryer, clean towels, worn out looking carpet. The breakfast spread is well presented and fresh, the plus point is the freshly brewed coffee and the fresh apples! Possibly due to the location, the hotel guests here looked very refreshed and relaxed. This hotel has its pros and cons. Not recommended for business travellers. Recommended for travellers who enjoyed a slower pace of life and prefers another sight and feel of Zurich.

Great hideout amidst nature

We stayed for 2 nights at Atlantis Guesthouse for US$164 which we booked from Yeego.com. It was certainly a good deal. The room was clean though a bit small. You get your own bath and there was tea/coffee making facilities. You can get your own tub of ice down the hallway. The firendly staff make it all the more pleasant. What we like most was the fact that we could take a nature walk nearby with a breathtaking panoramic view of Zurich. Highly recommended for the budget traveller.
