Green Marmot Capsule Hotel Zurich

Great quick budget stay especially if u want to stay near the airport as its one quick train away.

The Green Marmot Hotel in Zurich has a lot of potential; it’s in a central location and offers a budget-friendly capsule experience that sounds appealing on paper. But in reality, the hotel suffers from poor organization and design choices that make the stay more frustrating than enjoyable. First off, the layout is inconvenient. The luggage lockers are in a completely different area from the sleeping capsules. This forces guests to go back and forth unnecessarily,pick your clothes from one space, go shower somewhere else, then get dressed and finally walk again to where you sleep. It’s disjointed and inefficient. Why not have the lockers near the sleeping pods, or at least in the same area? The sleeping capsules themselves are another issue. Instead of having doors or solid shutters, they only come with a thin, see-through curtain. This means there’s little to no real privacy, especially with hallway lighting and other guests walking past. A proper capsule should allow you to feel enclosed and secure,not exposed. Then the walls are thin so can easily hear from your neighbors! The showers were especially annoying. They’re tiny,barely enough space to turn around or bend—and they use fixed, overhead rain-style heads. This forces you to wash your hair whether you want to or not. A simple hand shower would give guests more control and comfort, especially when you just want a quick wash. To make things worse, the hotel doesn’t offer any real support for early arrivals. If you g

There is no parking in downtown Zurich. This caused a major problem. There's also nowhere to pull in, so you can't drop off bags. I feel like people should be given a warning beforehand so they can start looking for garage parking lots nearby. Also no ac, so place was very hard to sleep in.

Clean property with good staff

the Capsule is great design. A nice quiet place to rest in such expensive city like Zurich. The washroom and shower facilities is sufficient to clean up. The locker is nice and spacious for backpackers. I would come to the place again if I ever visit Zurich.

The capsules are private so i liked that - showers were very good and plenty of toilets. There are really no common spaces to hang out. A few chairs on patio and few throughout hostel. Was very quiet and mixed aged guests. Zurich itself is amazing and the location of this hostel is superb

The only good thing about this place is the location - 7 minute walk away from a main train station and in a very walkable and central area. The facilities are very basic and a bit inconvenient. There is no receptionist before 2pm and the front door is locked so there’s no way to get in if you arrive before the check-in time - unless another guest is kind enough to open the door for you. The lobby area is almost non-existent and there are no common areas to hang out. No option for luggage storage before or after checkout. The staff are only there until 10pm so after that the washrooms get very dirty until someone comes in for the 2pm shift next day. There is no security or locks other than the main entrance - I booked a women only room and the only thing separating us from the men/unisex dorms is a curtain. There’s no storage space by your bed and the lockers are only in the lobby area which can be pretty far just to go get a change of clothes. Some of the top bunks don’t have handles to hold on to so it makes climbing the ladder and getting up there very difficult. Overall it wasn’t terrible but I wouldn’t want to stay there again. I know it’s a hostel so it’s not supposed to be fancy or anything but I’ve definitely stayed in dorms with cleaner facilities and nicer spaces.

Staff were not welcoming at all and did not explain anything to me about the property or rules. Then before checkout I was in my bed with shoes in front of the bed, clearly visible and the housekeeping staff yanked open the curtain. It was an okay stay but the staff made it uncomfortable.

No-frills, basic accomodation, but was fine. I was a bit upset that the women's dor. Was separated by the main dorm by only a curtain. It should have been a separate room. The staff was really nice and very helpful!

It is a capsule hotel and as such, I was not looking for the last word in luxury but Green Marmot still managed to excel with wonderful staff who were friendly and accomodating. I was there for just one night. Everything was clean. The shower cubicles are small but sufficient and towels are supplied. The cubicles are plywood which is nicer than the plastic ones I have seen in the past. Aside from a light, there was also a power point to charge my phone. The mattress was adequate and linen clean. The foyer had a coffee machine that accepted cards or cash and the coffee was quite passable.

Was a good little hole in the wall (quite literally) lights out was at 10 and it did get a bit noisy until around 11 when everyone started coming in. The cubbies are built from wood so it’s almost impossible to move around in them or get out without making noises. You only get a curtain for a door and it doesn’t cover the whole opening. Cubbies on the bottom have a gap at the bottom of the curtain, the ones on top have the gap at the top. Each has a light, hangars, a box to put stuff (not lockable you can get an optional locker), a fold out table, and a euro and Italian type plug outlet. There is also a little nook under the shelf that had cold air coming out which the only way to control was shoving part of the comforter in. Stayed in April and was 47f outside, air inside felt like 70s but was very dry, multiple guests including myself had the sniffles and were constantly blowing nose or coughing through the night. Stayed in the mixed gender room, bathroom are split, men’s room had two toilets, three showers, and two urinals. Towels pillow and comforter were provided. There is a vending machine with snacks and drinks in the lobby as well. After 10 you have to use a provided code to open the door, WiFi was great until about 10 when everyone came in then it was spotty and kept buffering. Apple Maps drops you at the building at the foot of the street found the entrance in side street on the left up some stairs. Signage or a note would be nice. A fan in the cubbie would be too

Bed was fine. Bathroom was a mess. With that many people using one bathroom, it should be cleaned every few hours, not once a day. Someone barfed in the sink. It remained that way for over 12 hours.

I had a good stay here. You get what you pay for. If you're looking for somewhere just to wash and sleep within Zurich center, this is the place. Toilets and showers were clean with good hot water. Only thing this place lacks is a good communal area, there is no where to hang out

Ok

Overall good

I stayed in the Women's only section which I thought would be behind a locked door, but rather was a curtained off section of the main room. I wish the lockers had been in the room rather than having to go out to the lobby area to grab my stuff each time, but it felt safe. I do wish there was someone at reception at all times, to give suggestions or help when needed.

If you are one your own and spending a few hours in Zurich, this is a very cost-effective option! It is in the heart of old town, and they offer a free locker to keep your stuff. If you do not mind the common bathrooms this would be a good choice.

It was ok. The beds are comfortable but it’s a hostel and the only separation is a curtain. No security between the men’s /women’s area. You store your bags in a locker in the lobby so it feels like you’re doing the walk of shame just to brush your teeth. The room area smells pungent and like dirty socks. The bathroom is rough and not in the best of conditions. No soap and mold in the showers. Very tiny dressing area. Not my favorite hostel for $60/night but it is what it is for 12 hours between trains.

It was so hard to move around the room because i didnt have any privacy at all! Some were so loud talking and you cant even have a good rest!

Great location and easy to get to by tram. Comfy beds and blankets. The beds had privacy curtains and a nice light to use/outlet to use while in bed. Very glad I chose to stay here! The shower had great water pressure and there was plenty of space to change in/put my stuff in after getting out!
