Guesthouse Brauerstrasse

This is one of several Swiss Star properties in Zurich. On Booking, it's called Swiss Star Guesthouse District 4. TripAdvisor doesn't make the correct link. It's located directly behind the Brauerhof, which also has rooms available (Swiss Star Brewery). None of the Swiss Star properties have a reception. When you make a reservation, you'll be invited to check in online. At the property, you check in through a machine. By simply entering your key code, you'll receive your room keys. There is no elevator, so you'll have to carry your luggage up the stairs. Reviews suggest that the rooms come in different sizes, even though they're all the same price. I must have drawn the short straw, as my room was positively tiny. I didn't have a desk, so I had to use my laptop on the bed. I didn't even have a chair. The free Internet comes courtesy of an external provider (Monzoon). The credentials to check in are displayed on the wall. Since the property is located in a party neighborhood (close to the famous Langstrasse), the rooms can be noisy at night, especially on weekends. Ironically, the party people in the street are less of a nuisance than the addicts doing drugs outside the property.

The area is Zurich’s rld very crowded and noisy especially in the weekend. Room was good and clean everything worked just fine and we were really happy with the amount of money we paid for it . Good choice if you’re on a budget

Stayed here during my short stay in Zurich. I chose this guesthouse for its good value for the money and its proximity to the Zurich HB. The wifi was good and room was neat & clean. Though I didn't like the neighborhood, too noisy for me during night.
