Hotel Swiss Star Anwand Lodges (Zürich, Switzerland)

The hotel is not difficult to find once you are in Zurich. The location is superbly convenient with plenty of restaurants, shopping for international foods, clothing, and good transportation. If you like walking you can easily walk to the middle of the city to the world famous Bahnhofstrasse. You can walk to the lake as well. If you like walking, this is an idea base.

Rooms are basic, clean, and modern. They are comfortable enough for a couple of night's stay with a private bathroom, hair dryer, iron/ironing board, and more.

You can't beat the reasonable price of this hotel for Zurich, especially with the expediency of the location.

The hotel area is not dangerous but a bit rowdy and it can get noisy. It's not far from the red light district on the Langstrasse. You will hear people making all types of noise till the early hours with the usual late night ruckus of lively neighbourhoods.

It's a tricky set-up with the Wi-Fi. You need a working phone service so that the hotel can send you an SMS to give you the code to the Wi-Fi. What's more, Swiss plugs do not work for all of Europe and definitely not overseas. If you don't have an international plug to keep your phone charged you may find yourself without Wi-Fi.

There is no reception, so there's no one on the property to greet or assist you. You are given a code to a lock box to collect the key to your room and that's about it!
