considderd the sky high prices of hotels & hostels in Zürich I was really happy with the etap hotel. Don't expect too much from the rooms, it;s a budget hotel. the beds are a bid hard too, but for a short stay it's ok. Own shower & wc in the room for about 55 euro! Small walking distance from the... more

For inexpensive stay in Zurich along the lines of Tokyo Capsule Inns. Two adults with 12 year old sleeping in upper bunk above parents. Tiny but very efficient room and bathroom. Internet may reach 2nd floor, best is in lobby. Cheapest internet rate we found in european hotel, 7 CHF per day. Staff has apparently improved from previous visitors. I... more

Yes, the rooms are small, very basic and the service is poor. However, the hotel and rooms are clean and comfortable. This is one of the cheapest hotels in Zurich and if you book online, there are often discounts for advance booking. It is reasonably centrally located and only a few minutes walk from the excellent Swiss railway system with... more

This hotel is a disgrace. Rooms are unbelievable in their design (or lack of!); cramped; ugly; smelly; totally unwelcoming; dirty; uncomfortable etc. - you get the idea. Could not open the window, or the window blind. The bed is like a wooden board; the toilet is like something from a prison, and the shower - well I have stayed in... more

After bracing myself for something nasty I was pleasantly surprised by the Etap Hotel. First off, it's basic - this is a no-frills hotel with soulless rooms and cheap fittings – but what is wrong with that if you only use the hotel as a place to sleep and shower? The location is quite odd, as it is near to... more

This Etap Hotel was perfectly situated for us as we went to see a concert at the Rohstofflager. Even thought the employees could have been more welcoming, the room was clean and all went well. more

we visited swiss in aug 08 and had a wonderful time save for the last day at Zurich where we had planned to stay at Etap Hotel Zurich. It has been the most unforgettable experience, albeit in a negative way. we reached the hotel just before 1200 hrs which is the normal check in time. however despite having spoken to... more

Please don't visit the Hotel E-Tap. It is near the Hardbrucke Station, Zurich. It is pathetic. The rooms are so small that it ends before it starts. It has only the bed and the room ended. It has attached toilets & bathroom both of them don't have latch. Only breakfast is been served which also worst in taste. They give... more

We booked this room almost exclusively on cost and there it delivered. They provide a very basic, homely room with the odd bathroom. As odd as the shower set up is, it is bigger than many more "traditional" showers. They primary problem is that it is supposed to be non-smoking but obviously, smokers had stayed in the room - using... more
