EMA House Serviced Apartments Superior Unterstrass Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to EMA House Serviced Apartments Superior Unterstrass, you immediately get the sense that this isn’t your typical hotel. The building sits quietly on Beckenhofstrasse, and honestly, that’s part of its charm — it feels more like stepping into a well-appointed residential building than checking into tourist accommodation. The four-star property has this understated elegance that I really appreciated, especially after dealing with the usual hotel lobby chaos elsewhere in the city.

The Unterstrass Advantage

Here’s what I love about staying in Zurich’s Unterstrass district — you’re close enough to everything that matters, but far enough from the tourist crowds that you can actually breathe. The neighborhood has this authentic Swiss residential feel, with tree-lined streets and local cafes where you’ll hear more German than English. You know what’s brilliant? You can walk to the university area in about ten minutes, and the tram connections are so good that getting to the old town or lake takes maybe fifteen minutes max. Plus, there’s parking available on-site, which honestly feels like winning the lottery in Zurich.

Living Space That Actually Works

The apartment I stayed in felt like someone’s stylish home rather than a sterile hotel room. Each unit comes with a proper kitchen — and I mean a real one with full-sized appliances, not some sad mini-fridge situation. The living areas are spacious enough that you don’t feel like you’re camping out in a bedroom, which makes a huge difference if you’re staying more than a couple nights. The furnishings strike that perfect balance between modern and comfortable, though I did notice the Wi-Fi was particularly strong throughout the space.

Daily Rhythms

What really sold me on this place was how it lets you live like a local. There’s a Migros supermarket just a few blocks away, so you can actually use that kitchen for more than just making coffee. The nearby Beckenhof park is perfect for morning runs — something I discovered completely by accident when I got a bit lost exploring the neighborhood. The tram stop is practically at your doorstep, and the 14 line becomes your best friend for getting around the city efficiently.

Why Guests Love It

I can see why couples rate this location so highly — there’s something romantic about having your own little Swiss apartment, complete with the ability to cook dinner together or just sprawl out with a bottle of wine after a day of sightseeing. The staff manages to be helpful without being intrusive, which is exactly what you want when you’re trying to settle into a temporary home. The combination of residential calm and urban accessibility really works here, especially if you’re the type who gets tired of hotel restaurant food and wants the freedom to eat when and what you please.

Apartments in Zurich suit financiers and founders with minimalist interiors, winter gardens, and riverfront jogging paths.

    Our family of 6 adults stayed at this Zurich apartment and had a pleasant experience. The place was very neat, with regular cleaning services that included refilling coffee pods and making the beds. The washer and dryer in the apartment were very helpful. The location is excellent, walkable to Zurich HB or easily accessible by tram.
