Fred Hotel Leonhardstrasse - Self Check-in

If René Magritte were to paint the Fred Hotel, he might inscribe beneath it: “Ceci n’est pas un hôtel.” Because, dear traveler—this is not a hotel. This is, rather artfully, a room. A very nice room, to be fair, but a room and nothing more. Upon arrival, you may find yourself searching for the front desk, perhaps expecting a warm Swiss welcome. Instead, you’ll be greeted by the existential realization: “No one is here.” The staff, like the concept of service, is purely theoretical. Need a fresh towel or a refill of shower soap? Request away! The answer is as surreal as Magritte’s pipe: “No one is here.” The broken safe? Consider it a metaphor for your expectations—locked away, never to be fixed. Breakfast, bar, restaurant, gym—these are but figments of your imagination. The Fred Hotel offers none of these distractions. Why clutter your experience with the superfluous? Here, you are invited to meditate on the purity of the room itself: a comfortable bed, a nice shower, and the minimalist thrill of no cleaning during your stay.

To be fair, the room is suitably appointed. The bed is comfortable, the shower is pleasant, and the décor is modern. But let us not confuse a well-furnished room with a hotel. Just as Magritte’s pipe is not a pipe, the Fred Hotel is not a hotel. It is, at best, a well-appointed room rental—an ode to the absence of hospitality. So, if you seek the illusion of a hotel, the Fred Hotel is a masterpiece. But if you require actual hotel services, remember: “Ceci n’est pas un hôtel.” It’s just a room—nothing more, nothing less.

Modern, Comfortable, spacious, great location and a nice room

More pillows for sleeping needed, lights in bathroom not bright enough especially for doing makeup and usb plugs by bedside would be more appropriate

very convenient, smart, has lots of facilities that we need

nothing

Clean and close to the centre

Pillows not great and the safe in our room didn’t work.

Rooms were new and clean. Great location just steps from the main station. Fridge and kettle were great to have in the room. The air conditioning works amazing!!

有冷氣

從車站到住宿一路上坡，推大行李的人非常吃力，而且旅館前還有樓梯，對大行李非常不友善
