Matkat – Oberengstringen

We had a 3 bedroom apartment. And reminded me of student accommodation. It was very hot during our stay and the windows needed to be closed to block the noise of the trains, we did have fans in each room but no air con so it was extremely hot. There is a park opposite which is most suited for adults to relax in. The lift was helpful. The coffee machine didn’t seem to work and the kitchen was very basic so cooking a meal was a struggle but a very big fridge with small freezer. One of the neighbours in the block sounded like he was hitting a woman who was crying and the police attended. If you are looking to relive your student days with a tight budget this is for you. Highly recommend sixt for car hire locally.

This hotel is located about 10 minutes away from Old Town Zurich. We took an uber to get here from Zurich HB. We were upgraded to a Junior Suite facing the pool. The pool was having a huge promoted white party, so the bass and DJ were vibrating the room. However, the music was done at 8pm and we didn't hear anything else after that. The king bed was very comfortable. My son used the couch pull out, which we had to call down 2 times for them to bring up bedding because there was no bedding for it and we had to set it all up. The pool area was nice and we used it twice. My son and I tried the buffet breakfast and was highly disappointed for what I paid (80 swiss franks = $100 usd) for cold, mediocre food. I couldn't believe the price, but I had to feed my 9 year old. After that, we just uber eats or did not eat at the hotel because I was not paying that price daily. You definitely paid for what you pay for here.
