Beautiful set up, my young boys were so happy to see their beds set up waiting upon arrival. Very thoughtful for a family traveling and staying at Zurich Airport due to flight cancellation. Thank you.

Hotel Scheuble
The staff was friendly and welcoming, the common area was updated with plenty of room to get work done. The room itself was spacious, the only issue I had was that I could hear people in the adjacent room while trying to fall asleep.
