Rheinheim Holidays

Me and my family went to Switzerland for a fun planned trip we found a listing near the Zurich HB station for check in we had at 3pm we got there around 3:15pm we looked at the main desk we saw that it said go to the back door while there was a whole check in desk at the front fully empty at the back we had to wait around 45 minutes for the owner to come around to check me and my family in and not just that we entered the building to see that our room still wasn’t ready after an hour and 45 minutes of waiting they finally finished cleaning, we entered the room to see still a couple trash pieces on the ground and to find out the listing didn’t have AC even though it mentioned having AC instead they give us a broken down taped fan as a replacement and at the end to end it off they only provide one bathroom to share to other hotel customers with 65 Swiss francs for room service that was horrible very bad experience with heat during the night only having a useless broken down fan very bad hotel and the worst experience nobody should ever have to stay here and have to feel this pain.

No working AC in August, and terrible customer service! We specifically booked a hotel with air conditioning because we knew it could be hot in Basel in August, but the AC unit never cooled our room at all during our 3-night stay. The only time the temperature on the thermostat ever dropped was when we opened the windows in the evening, but we could not leave them open because of noise from the train station and nearby streets. When we alerted the desk clerk to the issue, he assured us they would have maintenance address it, but the issue was never resolved. What made things worse was the attitude of management when we raised the issue again and requested an adjustment to our bill. The manager insisted that the AC was working as designed (despite the fact that it never cooled our room), and that the problem was with our expectations and lack of understanding of European AC systems. This approach (and the extremely nominal discount offered) was insulting and false. We’ve stayed in numerous European and Swiss hotels, and never encountered a situation where the AC did not cool the room. We were not asking for rapid cooling, or a frigid room temperature; we just wanted the ability to cool the room down at night, even by a degree or two, to make it more comfortable. The lack of functional AC was disappointing; management’s “blame the customer” approach made the whole experience infinitely worse. We will not stay at this property again.

Súper súper nice staff, they will go above and beyond to help. I will come back. Probably one of the over views of the city.
