This Holiday Inn
Express is a mid-range chain hotel near the Zurich
Airport. The 163 rooms are bright and modern with basic amenities and free Wi-Fi,
though there have been a few reports of poor housekeeping. Breakfast is free of
charge, but on-site parking is typically expensive and there are no health
facilities. Overall, it's a relatively cheap option with a free shuttle
service to the airport, though those looking to explore Zurich city center
should look at central properties like the upper-middle-range Hotel Continental Zurich, though rates are higher here..

Scene
Simple airport hotel with relaxed ambience and ample outdoor space
Opened in 2009, theHoliday Inn Express Zurich Airport is housed in a simple, boxy building with a glass and wood-paneled facade. The interiors are modern and
well-maintained, and the overall vibe is friendly and relaxed.
Large windows mean there's plenty of natural light throughout the lobby, and there are a couple of
outdoor patio areas with deck chairs.
As one would expect from an airport hotel, most guests are transit passengers who need to be close to the airport in order to catch an early-morning flight. However, the hotel's five conference rooms -- each of which can fit up to 25 people -- make it a viable choice for meetings and events.
Location
On a busy road in the Rumlang district, with easy access to the Zurich Airport
The hotel is
located in the Rumlang district on the busy Flughofstrasse, in an area dominated by office blocks and car dealerships. Although the airport is just next door to the hotel (it's actually visible from some guest rooms) getting there means about an
eight-minute drive. (The hotel provides a free shuttle service every quarter of
an hour.) The Rumlang railway station is about a five-minute walk away. Connections into city center run every half an hour; the trip takes around 15 minutes.
Rooms
Bright, simple rooms with flat-screen TVs with English-language channels
The hotel's 163 bright rooms are simply decorated in fresh, modern decor like wall-to-wall slate-colored carpeting, streamlined blonde-wood furniture, and abstract paintings reminiscent of a hazy red sunset. Standard in-room amenities include electric kettles, hairdryers, and flat-screen TVs with satellite channels
(including some English-language channels). Simple bathrooms have blue-tiled backsplashes, walk-in
showers, and wall-mounted pump dispensers for toiletries. Despite its proximity to both the main
road and the airport, soundproofing keeps external noise to a minimum. There have, however, been complaints of sub-standard housekeeping.
Features
Free breakfast and Wi-Fi plus regular airport shuttle service
The hotel
provides a free breakfast buffet of cereals, yogurts, pastries, and hardboiled eggs
that's served in the Great Room restaurant from very
early in the morning. The restaurant is also open for dinner and has an outside
terrace, while the lobby bar is open around the clock. There's a shuttle service that runs
to the airport every 15 minutes, though it can fill up quickly at peak times. Guests
with their own car can park in the hotel's garage, for a hefty fee. The Holiday Inn also features five conference rooms, each of which can accommodate up to 25 people. Free and reliable Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel.
