Pros:

proximité de notre destination, confort, facile à trouver, propreté

Cons:

L'absence de reception a l'avantage d'être dispo 24/24 mais un sourire c'est tout de même mieux !
La lumière dans la s de bains éclaire la chambre par sa porte vitrée...petit inconvénient en pleine nuit...

Ich war , wie bisher immer, mit meinem Aufenthalt in Ihrem Hotel sehr zufrieden.
Cons:

Ich würde empfehlen, an den Stühlen im Zimmer Filzgleiter anzubringen, damit man ( aus Rücksicht auf andere Hotelbewohner ) beim Schieben der Stühle nicht dieses laute Geräusch verursacht .

Joli hôtel dans la banlieue zurichoise
Pros:

Le caractère récent de l'hôtel, la propreté, la chambre de manière générale. J'avais demandé une chambre calme et c'était le cas.

Cons:

Le fait qu'il n'y ait personne à la réception (arrivée à 18 h) donc un enregistrement automatique. Mais bon, c'est bien allé.
Le fait que le petit-déjeuner n'ait pas pu être pris sur place : samedi le café est fermé et dimanche il ouvre à 9 h.
Le peu de place pour poser les trousses de toilette dans la salle de bains et les valises dans la chambre.
La qualité (chaleur) des couettes.
Mais ce sont plutôt des détails ; pour l'essentiel la chambre était très bien.

Zwei Nächtr in verkehrsgünstig gelegenem modernen Hotel im Zürcher Oberland
Pros:

Saubere Schlafstätte mit modern sachlichem, dennoch ansprechenden Design im Zürcher Oberland.
Buchung ging fix und glatt, alles ist gut erreichbar, Abwicklung vor Ort maschinell, aber ebenso glatt. Zimmer ökonomisch geschnitten, alles notwendige ist vorhanden. Bett gut und bequem, die Lage nach hinten bescherte nötige Ruhe nach den Tagesausflügen.

Cons:

Es gibt ein angegliedertes Cafe, welches das Frühstücksbuffet bietet. Das habe ich nicht genutzt, es wirkte auch räumlich und organisatorisch wie angehängt. Ausserdem hat es nicht immer geöffnet (hier war ein Feiertag). Da auch während unseres Aufenthalts die Reception nicht besetzt war, wirkte alles etwas unpersönlich.

Clean, convenient, pricey option if you need to stay in Effretikon
Pros:

Room was clean and nicely decorated. Very convenient to the train station.

Cons:

My room was skipped for cleaning one day so I had to use towels that had been in a wet heap on the floor. The breakfast was expensive and it wasn’t explained to me that I could have ordered off the menu in addition to the buffet.
