Frickingen Holidays

The Krone hotel is a great place perfectly located. There is a shared kitchen room with a refrigerator and a microwave and coffee maker which was air-conditioned. The staff was great The only drawback was that we were right on the street and it was pretty loud.

We had a pleasant two-night stay. The breakfast buffet is absolutely wonderful! Fresh bread, fruit, cheeses, yogurt with many options of toppings … We liked having the coffee machine available at all times in the lobby as well as cold water to refill our bottles. The beds were very comfortable. Bring your own hair wash. Staff was pleasant and helpful. The location is perfect - lots of restaurants around and very close to the water and all the sights we were wanting to see by foot.

The air conditioning was a joke. Our room had a portable unit that was terrible (and loud). The water condensation bin filled every 3 hours and we could not empty it ourselves. Emptying required a bucket, lifting the entire machine over the bucket, and unscrewing the bottom of the unit.

This hotel is in a great location. It was easy to take the tram from Zurich HB Station and around the city, and walking distance to Old Town. There’s a supermarket across the road. It was a well appointed apartment. I liked having a little kitchenette and coffee machine. The air con has a hose through the window, so you can’t close the window completely which lets some noise in. But it’s great to have the air con unit.
