"The hotel is very close to Zurich Airport, which is super convenient if you have an early flight the next day – you can even grab breakfast before heading out. They offer a great variety of breakfast options, and everything is replenished promptly. There's a supermarket nearby and a train station right across the street. The rooms have air conditioning and a fridge, and if you find the AC isn't strong enough, you can always ask the front desk for a fan."
"The view of the airport from the second floor of the building is unfortunately obstructed by trees.
The bedding, including sheets and pillowcases, was noticeably damp, and the air conditioning unit proved ineffective in mitigating the moisture. Consequently, the linens retained an unpleasant odor from previous occupants.
Overall, the cleanliness of the accommodations was marginally above average. Noteworthy issues included staining within the toilets and hard water stains on the rubber/plastic trim of the shower door. Given the nightly parking charge of 28 CHF, one would anticipate a higher standard regarding the maintenance and replacement of minor yet discernible room components.
Furthermore, a microwave was not available for public use. Guests planning to utilize microwaveable meals from budget retailers such as Aldi or Lidl should make alternative arrangements.
The hotel's location presents navigational challenges due to the street layout, requiring guests to proceed to the next traffic light and execute a side road maneuver or U-turn to access the airport."
"I came to Switzerland to enjoy the beautiful views, scenery and everything this amazing country has to offer, so I wasn’t expecting my hotel stay to become such a special part of the trip. ❤️🇨🇭
A big thank you to the Front Office team at Crowne Plaza Zurich for making my birthday so memorable. Even though I spent most of my time out exploring Switzerland, coming back to such a thoughtful birthday surprise made the day even more special.
A special thank you to Sophie, who noticed that it was my birthday and took the time to arrange everything. The flowers, chocolates, champagne and the beautiful room setup were such a lovely surprise. It was such a thoughtful gesture and honestly made me feel very special.
Thank you to Sophie and the whole Front Office team for going the extra mile. ❤️"
"Highly recommended for anyone flying in or out, or with a layover. We couldn't check in before 3 PM, but there were complimentary fruits and drinks in the lobby. The room facilities were excellent, and the bathroom had strong water pressure and even a shower seat! After 24 days of tiny, cramped hotel bathrooms in Switzerland where it was hard to even turn around, this was a welcome luxury before leaving the country. The breakfast was good too."
"Check-in independently is cheaper, but it can be troublesome if problems arise. The hotel has a manager's phone number available via WhatsApp, but there are no service staff, so problems can't be addressed immediately. For example, there were no blankets in my room, and I forgot my things when I checked out. Although the manager handled the issue by phone and provided good service, it wasn't immediate. This might not be suitable if you frequently need staff assistance. However, the hotel's location is excellent, right next to the S23 intersection, one stop from Zurich HB. There's some noise from the train at night, but it's acceptable. Finally, the hotel has heating but no air conditioning. I heard it can get hot to over 30 degrees Celsius in the summer, so be aware."
"The hotel is not in the Center of Zurich but on Orliekon. Area of workers . And not a cheap hotel too . The hotel very clean , soft beds , we got a very good room . Breakfast simple but very tasty . As it is near my relatives I will take it again"
"Nice and comfortable hotel. Away from city, quiet amd calmer area. Short walk to tram and train station so it is easy to get to the city center and to Zurich airport."
"hello. accommodation was a 3.5/5. very well could have been a 5/5 though.
the location was amazing, right next to the train station and nearby supermarkets. it was rather clean with lovely crisp sheets, and clean surfaces accompanied with a balcony. there was a clothes line provided as-well as washing machines and dryers downstairs in the basement. there was a kitchen with most of the utensils necessary, however points are lost for the lack of cleaning supplies (literally none). we couldn’t clean our dishes…. there was no hand soap in the bathroom, but there was provided shampoo/body wash so not a big deal. there was quite bad water pressure on the showers behalf, and on the final two days of our stay there was no hot water at all, which was quite frustrating (we didn’t contact anyone to help though).
overall it was quite a nice stay and I would definitely recommend this place with some slight improvements.
thankyou"
"This was a truly excellent trip. First off, the hotel's location is fantastic; public transportation is readily accessible, and it's only one or two stops from Zurich Central Station. Directly across the street, there's a huge Coop supermarket and a Coop restaurant, so dining options are sorted.
Secondly, the hotel itself is great and lives up to the Marriott brand's standards, with very enthusiastic staff. What really stood out was ”Lili” at the front desk. She was incredibly kind. I was particularly impressed when she remembered my name the next day when I was buying coffee. During check-out, she even presented the bill neatly in an envelope and was generally very helpful. All in all, it was a perfect experience."
"We stayed for 2 days at the accommodation. The rooms are spacious, and the bathroom is also large. You get daily coffee and tea service, and there's a fridge, TV, and desk available in the room. Free water, ice, and a microwave are available at the hotel reception 24/7, and the staff are attentive. There's also an Italian restaurant where you can order food to your room."
Very Good

Great
GGuest UserA magnificent place for traveling around Switzerland from Zurich. Very clean and smells good. Premium quality shower amenities. We were offered a room on the 7th floor, where we couldn't hear the parties on the ground floor. Good sound insulation. Also on the 7th floor were a sauna and a gym with scenic windows.
The mini-bar in the room was free. It included: water, cola, beer, nuts, and a chocolate bar.
Everything was very tasty.
Thanks to the staff and the hotel for the warm welcome and excellent service!
SSokkea angHad a great stay at Ruby Mimi Hotel Zurich.
The hotel was very clean and well-maintained, which made the stay really comfortable. Everything felt fresh and nicely organized, from the room to the common areas.
It’s also very convenient — the location makes it easy to get around, whether you’re exploring the city or heading to nearby attractions. Overall, a smooth and enjoyable stay, perfect for a short trip!
SsportspoonIts actually quite a walk from Zurich HB if u're travelling with an elderly, but my mother made it. There's actually a bus that you can take to the 'Central' bus stop and walk from there tho googlemap wont route u there coz its relatively a short walk. We stayed here for 1 night on arrival. Very comfortable and friendly staff.
TtoseetheworldThe hotel is very convinient and strategic. Located right next to the Zurich HB station and directly above the Polybanh train (a local attraction of a train to go up to the Zurich University). There's money changer, Starbucks and restaurants on the same stretch of building. Opposite the bridge there is a major hypermart Coop where can get affortable meals, mineral water and daily items. The reception staffs were all very friendly. I requested higher floor facing the train track and the staff reserved for me since I indicated on my booking. There is complementary hot water, tea or coffee available at the lobby. It is a MUST place to stay. Just a small note, if handling heavy luggage on your own, just walk towards behind the Starbucks, there is a door right after the Western Union. The entrance here is only 2 steps, compared to the main front which has more than 10 steps.
GGuest UserGreat room which was well-designed with everything we needed. The service was excellent, despite not being staffed or having a reception desk at the property. The self check-in is very easy but unfortunately I had to contact the hotel to receive the information on how to do this as I hadn't received it. Once I'd checked in online I could see that they'd sent me some messages telling me how to do this, but I could only access this information once I'd already checked-in so I'm not sure how I was supposed to see the instructions before then. Thankfully it was easy to contact them and they were very helpful in sending me the information. They were also very speedy in providing extra pillows which we requested when we were there.
As well as an improved system for sending the check-in information and additional pillows, extra hangers and hooks/rails to hang towels would be beneficial but these are all minor points. We were very happy with the room and the service we received.
AAnonymous UserI absolutely do not recommend staying in the east wing. To get there, you have to walk through quite a long tunnel from the main building. The rooms are very small, and the bathroom is super cramped too (if you open the door, you have to close it again to use the toilet because there's no space). The room isn't even big enough for two people to sit down and eat takeout.
Furthermore, something I found quite uncomfortable is that the room doesn't have windows that open. I like fresh air, and that makes the atmosphere feel stuffy and dry. When I booked, I didn't check the room type carefully and didn't expect to encounter so many inconveniences.
Before checking in, reception told me I could pay extra to switch to a better room, and that there were many large rooms available in the main building that night. (At hotels like InterContinental or Marriott, in situations like this, I usually get a free upgrade). If there are so many rooms available, I don't understand why they don't let you try one without charge. (I'm just giving my opinion; I know the hotel isn't obligated to do so).
SShibakenDThe hotel is a bit old-fashioned, but the front desk staff were very friendly. Breakfast was a little basic, but considering the price, it was actually quite good. It's about a seven or eight-minute walk from the HBF (main train station).
GGuest UserThe location and cleanliness of the room were excellent. However, there doesn't seem to be a permanent staff member at the hotel, so you need a passcode to enter. This means you must complete the web check-in by the day before your arrival to receive the passcode and room number via email from the hotel. It's absolutely essential not to forget to do the self-check-in beforehand.
GGuest UserCriticism for:
Check-in was online only, no staff present. The location is right next to busy roads, including a tram line. Surprisingly, I still slept well. The water in the sink barely drained and would back up to overflowing. The space between the faucet and the sink was far too small. The staff spoke almost no German/Swiss German.
Positives:
The breakfast staff were very friendly and extremely helpful. The breakfast was good. The location (aside from the roads right next door) is great. You can get into the city very quickly. The room furnishings are modern, and the room layout is well-designed.
