We stayed at this hotel for four days in May 2025. The IntercityHotel Zurich is in an industrial complex just outside the airport. It is a basic no-frills hotel with small rooms that is clearly designed for short stays by airline passengers. The hotel staff seemed stressed and were curt at times. With construction on one side and a vacant lot on the other, there is almost nothing nearby. Your restaurant options are the hotel itself, a Subway across the street, a McDonalds, and a poorly rated Italian restaurant in the Radisson nearby. We arrived in Zurich by train from the Hauptbahnhof, and the train you need to take is the S15 train to Rumlang (7 CHF per person). When you get off the train, there is still about a 10-minute walk to the hotel. DO NOT take the Zurich Tram 10 (which we mistakenly did). It also stops at Rumlang, but at a different station about 2 miles to the south. We ended up carrying 80 pounds of luggage down bike trails and across farms in the rain to get to the hotel. IntercityHotel Zurich does not accept cash, so you will need a credit card for everything. The hotel also does not clean rooms unless you request it. The food at the hotel is not bad, but is very expensive like the rest of Zurich. We paid over $100 USD for a chef salad and a one-person pizza. My recommendation is to avoid the 20 CHF per person breakfast and instead stock up on croissants, meats, cheese, etc. at the Migros grocery store across the street.
