Had a wonderful stay. We can’t open the door when we got to the hotel. A worker directed us to another building and given a bigger room ( no extra charge). The following day, another worker was extremely helpful in giving us directions ( short cut) to the train station. Very clean. Friendly staff. Coffee/tea/ hot water available at no charge.

Ok
An ok place but incredibly small and noisy. Self checkin via email only. $25 breakfast is down the street at another hotel. Given how expensive Zurich is the place is ok in that its a 5 min walk from the train station

Great spot to stay.
Great location & close to the Zurich Main Station. Great staff, super helpful. Good breakfast choices. Would have liked washclothes in the bathroom for showers, not just towels.

The thing we miss the most in the rooms was a lack of wash clothes for the shower there was a bit of confusion of where to find the main office when we arrived at the off-site house as we walked there direct from the train station and we're a bit confused and how to get the keys to the room other than that everything was fine

Perfect for convenience to Zürich HBF—literally a 30 second walk to track 18 and entrance to the station concourse. The neighborhood is fine and requires only a 15 minute walk to the main restaurant and shopping streets in town. The rooms are small and basic, but also new and very clean. Great value for the price, especially because we selected the property for access to the trains.

6/10 Good

The Fred Guest House was a one-night stay so that we could be conveniently at the Zurich Bahnhof Train Station the next morning to conveniently take the train to the airport. As such, my wife and I chose an inexpensive (for Switzerland), no-frills hotel. The check-in process was all electronic and done in advance. This should have been convenient, but there were odd issues with verifying my personal information and with the web page itself that required multiple attempts. Once checked in, we received an electronic key to be activated by phone off their web page. The absence of any physical key might be complicated for some, and even unlocking some doors required patience. Our actual room was really tiny, with barely any space to lay anything out. There was no desk, only a small night stand on one side, and a small open cabinet at the corner. There was no air conditioning, though a floor fan was somewhat useful in providing circulation. Our room also faced the street, so we were able to cool the room by opening the window. The bathroom was also tiny, with nowhere to really place any clothes or belongings. If we were staying for more than one night, this would have been a very frustrating place of lodging. But as it was only one night, we just made do. I'd recommend this place for anyone trying to be as frugal as possible while staying in a central and convenient area. But the room itself is really quite constricted, and multiple days would be tough for many.

This was a great hotel overall! The location was convenient and the surrounding amenities were amazing. Rico was super helpful during check-in. He provided me with some local food spots to check out and they were on point. Definitely coming back and staying at the Fred Guest House again.

Right next to the main train station. The listing says it takes 7 minutes to the main train station but really it o my takes a turn around the corner. The 7 minutes is to the main terminal. Because of many other access points it is actually closer. The air conditioning was effective however it does leak water. Also the bathroom sink doesn’t effectively drain water away.

There's no A/C in the room! Not worth the money for the room! Yes, it was clean but we had to keep the windows open. With the windows open we had to listen to street noise all night!

The staff were very friendly and helpful; every single one. The property is near the centre )10 min walk) and 5 min walk to the train station; lots of restaurants and cafes nearby. Delicious breakfast for 15 Euros; well worth it. The only issue was the size of the rooms. They were extremely small (which we knew about) but it worked for us since we were there for one night.
