KAYA Zurich Apartment GOLD – Downtown Deluxe Sudio Apt

KAYA Zurich Apartment GOLD – Downtown Deluxe Sudio Apt Overview

First Impressions

When I first walked into KAYA Zurich Apartment GOLD – Downtown Deluxe Sudio Apt, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from a three-star place in Zurich — but this little studio completely surprised me. Located right on Elisabethenstrasse in the Aussersihl district, it’s one of those spots that feels way more expensive than it actually is. The building itself has that classic Swiss charm, and you know what? The elevator actually works, which is more than I can say for some places I’ve stayed in this city.

The Studio Space

The room is compact but incredibly well-designed — every square meter is used smartly. I mean, Zurich real estate is no joke, so they’ve really maximized the space here. The kitchenette is surprisingly functional (I actually cooked a proper meal), and the bed is comfortable enough that I didn’t wake up feeling like I’d been wrestling with Swiss cheese all night. The bathroom is small but modern, with good water pressure — something you definitely can’t take for granted in older European buildings.

Location & Neighborhood

Here’s where this place really shines — the location is absolutely spot-on. Aussersihl used to be the grittier side of Zurich, but it’s transformed into this vibrant, artsy neighborhood that locals actually hang out in. You’re walking distance from the main train station (maybe 10 minutes), but you’re also surrounded by cool cafes and bars that tourists rarely find. There’s a great little market nearby where you can grab fresh bread and cheese, and honestly, the whole area feels authentically Swiss rather than touristy.

Practical Perks

What I really appreciated were the little touches that make a difference when you’re traveling. The Wi-Fi is solid (I had video calls without issues), and there’s decent storage space for your stuff. The windows open wide — which might sound silly, but after a day of walking around Zurich, fresh air hits differently. Plus, you’re close enough to everything that you don’t need to worry about parking or navigating public transport constantly, though the tram connections are excellent if you want to explore further out.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t going to be the fanciest place you’ve ever stayed, but it delivers exactly what it promises. Couples seem to really dig the intimate vibe — there’s something romantic about having your own little Swiss studio in the heart of the city. The value is incredible for Zurich standards, and you’re getting that authentic local experience rather than the sterile hotel chain feeling. I’d definitely stay here again, especially if I wanted to feel like I was actually living in Zurich for a few days rather than just passing through as a tourist.
