Mercure Hotel Stoller

Zurich is very expensive so staying away from the city center is a bit less expensive. Hotel is about 15 min tram ride from the train station. Transit is very convenient … There are multiple lines and very easy to use. Best to buy a pass & remember to validate. That said — I never did see anyone get check — it’s an honor system so b honest! The hotel is located in the old town area with Bakery, supermarket, neighborhood restaurant –bar nearby. Hotel itself is on the small side but it’s Very clean & modern. We don’t spend much time in the room so it’s all good!

Room: Air conditioning not working, not sure it existed as there were no vents in the room at all. There was a box to change the temperatures and a radiator for heat, but the room never got cool. Very hot summer. There was no breeze due to hotel’s position between buildings. Comfortable, good sized bed, nice pillows, blackout curtains, tv in the bathroom, walkin shower, great size room especially for Europe
Cleanliness of rooms /​hotels: Very clean, no complaints
Service quality: Fast, friendly, looked up answers if they didn’t know them. Would not do a late checkout, no extra hour even, but the would store your bags for you.
Hotel Facilities: Wifi worked well, they had computers in the lobby, safe in the room, restaurant and breakfast offered but costly
Location of the hotel: about a 20 minute tram ride from the central station, not too close, but there was a kiosk, bank, post office, and market nearby
Hotel Amenities: Everything you could ever need– bathrobe, slippers, umbrella, sewing kit, manicure set, lotions, shower cap, soaps, shampoo, all types of toiletries, impressive

Das Stoller kennen viele — vor allem die Taxifahrer — unter diesem Namen. Es ist nun ein Franchisepartner von Mercure mit 4*
Ich komme gerne hier her und fühle mich wohl. Es wird hier nicht viel Platz und Geld für Rezeption und einer Lobby ausgegeben. Dafür finde ich die Zimmer modern und, wenn man von einem der wenigen Einzelzimmer absieht, groß genug.
Das TV im Bad ist Schnick-​Schnack, den man im 6* erwarten würde.
Das Preis-​Leistungsverhältnis ist für Zürich sehr gut. Die Straßenbahnen um die Ecke bringen einem direkt zum Bahnhof oder auch zum See.
Die Konditorei um die Ecke ist für das Frühstück zu empfehlen. Das Frühstück im Stoller ist okay — aber nicht großartig.

The hotel room was tinier than we had expected, but we found a great deal on
($ 140…extremely inexpensive for Zurich!) so we can’t complain too much. The hotel was a lot farther from the lake and the center of town than we would have liked so our walk to shopping/​cafes/​attractions turned into a hike there. There is plenty of public transportation around, but we are the type of tourists that like to walk everywhere so we opted out of taking the bus or tram although the stop is right outside the hotel for those that like to do public transport. The parking situation at the hotel is a little squirelly. Their website says there is parking however they only have about 8 spaces right outside the lobby for the ENTIRE hotel and it is also for the hotel restaraunt patrons. And expect to pay 25CHF for one day of parking. The hotel room keys are actual keys that come with a giant keychain that has the room number (the thing is pretty heavy). It’s a little old school and kind of annoying to tote it around. Overall the hotel was clean and the staff was very pleasant, but I think we will stay closer to the center of the city next time.
Positives:
— free wifi
— walking distance to some restaraunts and grocery store
— the room had bathrobes and I LOOOOOOOVE nice big comfy bathrobes so I was happy

Wish I’d read Thiago’s review below about the tram service; would’ve saved me a hefty 20 CHF taxi ride from Zurich HB. To re-​affirm, tram service is frequent and affordable. Take it and leave the taxis!
The hotel is situated a bit out of the downtown core and the tram takes about 10 – 15 mins to get there. The rooms are beautiful and there is even a tiny TV in the bathroom so you can watch Friends in German while showering. The Keurig machine is complimentary and was SUCH a welcome surprise. There’s nothing like enjoying a cup of espresso in the comfort of your room. A small gripe is that the our shower leaked… a lot. We could’ve complained I suppose but it was easier just to lay towels on the floor. Wifi is free although the password rotates every 12 hours for some odd reason. The hotel also has a restaurant which comes in handy when every single business closes down on Sundays. Great service, great rooms but not walking distance to the downtown core.

First things first, if you decide to stay here, you can take the Tram from Zurich HB, it stops at a stone’s throw from the hotel and you save the 20Fr the taxi charges from Zurich HB.
The hotel is undergoing renovations, the redecorated rooms are nice (I was in a redecorated room) but some have some issues still (like in mine, the safe wasn’t working)
There are also some issues with the elevator having some bad buttons, which you have to press several times to make it work (stunning, I know)
The staff is very friendly, and they make up for the hotel’s issues. In my case, when my safe wasn’t working I kept my belongings in a safe at the reception, and given the key to my box.
About the hotel’s restaurant, I don’t recommend it for your lunch/​dinner moments (unless your tiredness is beating your hunger). But I definitely recommend the breakfast served there!
Wi-​fi is not free (or free for one hour), but wired internet is free at the rooms

Am Albisriederplatz gibt es das «Hotel Stoller», pardon «Mercure Hotel Stoller». Von Aussen her könnte man kaum meinen, dass es ein 4-​Sterne-​Hotel ist.
Offenbar hat das Hotel 80 Zimmer, ein Restaurant und zwei Veranstaltung-​sräume. Im Sommer gibt es natürlich eine Aussenterrasse. Bambusstühle– und tische aus den 60er oder 70er Jahren sorgen für das bequeme Sitzen. Man will gar nicht mehr aufstehen.
Das Hotel hat sogar eine eigene Glaceria, welches zum gediegenen Schlemmen auf der Terrasse mit altem Bambus-​Mobiliar einlädt.
