The hype
Travelers love the funky vibe, the free minibar (in some rooms), and the location near the main station, but often find the lighting too dim.
25Hours Hotel Zurich Langstrasse
$175-320 / nat
Bestil hvis You want to sleep in a high-design hipster playground that sits exactly on the fault line between Zurich's gritty nightlife and its polished banking district.
Hvorfor folk elsker det
- The 'Trainspotting' sauna on the 7th floor with panoramic views of the tracks
- Free Schindelhauer bike rentals to cruise the city like a local
- NENI's Israeli-Mediterranean food is a legitimate dining destination, not just a hotel restaurant
Hurtig oversigt: It's a fun, loud, chaotic design explosion that feels more like a creative commune than a Swiss hotel—which is exactly why you book it.
Anmeldt af @alicia_katharina: I stayed at 25Hours Langstrasse and honestly, I'm obsessed. The open bathroom has this massive rain shower that feels like a spa, and the staff left the sweetest welcome gifts on my bed. Watching the sunset from that window seat was the highlight of my trip.

Reality check
The 'open concept' bathrooms and peek-a-boo showers are a recurring complaint for non-couples who didn't expect to see their roommate naked.
- You appreciate industrial-chic design over traditional luxury
- You want to be walking distance (10 min) from Zurich HB main station
- You enjoy a lively lobby bar scene that draws locals, not just guests
Renhed & Vedligeholdelse
8.8
- Housekeeping: Daily and generally thorough, though some recent reviews mention missed dust in corners.
- Bathroom hygiene: Sparkling. The exposed glass design means grime has nowhere to hide, and they keep it polished.
- Maintenance: Good, but the hotel is ~7 years old now, so minor scuffs on the 'industrial' furniture are starting to blend in with the design.
- Linens & towels: High quality, crisp white linens. Towels are fluffy.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of NENI spices (cumin/coriander); rooms are neutral/fresh.

Før du booker
Godt at vide
- Breakfast at NENI is excellent but costs ~CHF 35 per person if not included in your rate.
- You can literally pawn valuable items (art, vintage gear) at the reception 'Leihhaus' to pay for your stay—it's real, not just decor.
- City tax is approx CHF 3.50 per person/night and is charged at checkout.
Hvad skal du pakke
- Earplugs (just in case you get a street-facing room)
- Swimsuit for the sauna (it's mixed gender and textile-free is common in Swiss culture, but bring one to be safe)
- Power strip if you have many devices; outlets can be oddly placed in the design-heavy rooms

Ofte stillede spørgsmål og skjulte tips
Alt hvad du gerne vil vide før du booker.
Is the train noise unbearable?
Surprisingly, no. The windows on the track side are triple-glazed and heavily soundproofed. It's actually quieter than the street side.
Is the area safe?
Yes, but it's gritty. Langstrasse is the former red-light district. It's gentrified and safe, but you will see 'characters' and nightlife activity.
Is there a pool?
No pool on-site, but the 'Flussbad Oberer Letten' (river swimming) is a 10-minute walk and is THE place to be in summer.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes, 25Hours is very pet-friendly. There is usually a fee (approx CHF 25/night).
Is parking available?
Yes, but limited (~20 spots) and expensive (~CHF 39/day). Public garages like 'Parkhaus Hauptbahnhof' are nearby alternatives.
Does the room have AC?
Yes, all rooms have air conditioning, though controls can sometimes be finicky according to reviews.
