This train station is located along the Limmat river and has lots of shops around that are open…read moreevery day for shopping. Of course, the Coop Pronto has slightly higher prices than a regular Coop, but at least it's open on Sundays. I bought a bread roll with pumpkin seeds from Coop Pronto, and it stayed soft and fresh for 2 days! Awesome. Their credit card machines also read American credit cards without the embedded chip, so that was pretty cool. There is also a Bahnhof Imbiss that I think is open 24x7 to satisfy all your Turkish food cravings. My friend really likes the Döner from this place, and he's really picky about his Döners since he's from Germany and usually feels that the Swiss ones aren't as good. I also saw baklava and sütlac (rice pudding) on the menu, which reminded me of my trip to Istanbul where I ate lots of yummy rice pudding at Hafiz Mustafa. I wonder if it's also yummy at this place.

Large train station with direct trains to the airport, but I think they only run every hour. It…read morewas a bit cold standing on the platform for 30 minutes while waiting for my connection. I got thirsty and went to the kiosk to buy a drink. They had a lovely all-natural blueberry box drink for CHF 1.50 that tasted delicious. No ok.- energy drinks for me... no thank you.

This restaurant is an easy walk (5-10 minutes, depending on how fast you walk) from the Baden train…read morestation. Today's lunch buffet menu had 4 items: chicken, pork, fish, and vegetables. You tell the server behind the counter which items would you like (you can get all 4) and the items are placed on top of a plate of white rice. After you tell the cashier if you would like a drink and pay, you can find a vacant table and sit down to enjoy your meal. After you are done you can go back for 1 more plate of food. The food was good but the server wasn't too friendly or eager to answer questions. She even had to get another staff to explain to me how it works so service isn't as good as I had expected at a Thai restaurant.

I had a nice week-long stay at Hotel Linde in Baden, Switzerland…read more The good: 1. Nice location - 5 minute walk to rail station and the town center. Lots of close-by shops, restaurants, stores, bars. 2. Friendly staff with excellent English. 3. Awesome roof top bar (Panorama) with great views of Baden, and really nice waitresses - my co-workers and I loved this place. 4. Rooms - modern and clean, corner rooms are spacious (though I am told that non-corner rooms are tiny) 5. Free breakfast was OK - hot options included eggs and bacon. Good croissants and cold cuts (ham, salami, etc.) 6. Wifi Internet is fast -- though it did drop out a few times during my stay. 7. Balcony - My room on the 13th floor also had a small private deck, which was cool. The bad: 1. No fitness center on-premise. You can walk 5 minutes to the fitness center in the post office next to the rail station, but you need to pay 29 CHF per day to use it. 2. No air conditioning in the rooms. They do provide a fan, which helps -- but it was still a bit rough to be there this past week (where daytime temperatures in Baden Switzerland averaged in the high-80s F) 3. No iron/ironing boards in the rooms. If you want to iron clothes, you need to use the public iron/ironing board on the 11th floor. There is no place to hang clothes while you're ironing them there. 4. The elevators/lifts are tiny. Not a problem except during busy times, or if you're in a larger group (like I was). 5. The directions on their web site for walking to the property from the rail station are horrible and pretty much unusable. 6. No alarm clock in rooms, though staff will give you a wake up call upon request. 7. In-room hair dryer is very weak on even its highest setting and takes forever to dry hair. Bring your own! 8. In-room "mini bar" refrigerator does not keep anything cold. Getting to Hotel Linde is a bit tricky and their aforementioned website directions are crap, so here are some tips if you're arriving at Zurich airport: - TRAIN FROM AIRPORT: There is a direct train from Zurich airport to Baden, but I was given an itinerary by SBB for a train route where I needed to transfer trains (this meant hauling my suitcase up and down stairs at a different station). Insist to SBB that you want an itinerary for a direct train to Baden when you buy your ticket at the airport. - OVERALL CONCEPT FOR FINDING HOTEL LINDE IN BADEN: Once you get to Baden, you want to walk out of the rail station and towards the hill with the tunnel in it. Hotel Linde is on the other side of that tunnel/hill. You won't be able to see the hotel from the rail station. The train goes through the tunnel, and there is also a parking garage in the tunnel that runs to the left of the train track that you should walk through called the "tunnel garage." Once you get out of the tunnel garage, Hotel Linde will be across the street to your right. - LANDMARKS: Your main mission should be to find the tunnel garage. The easiest way to find the tunnel garage is to walk along side the rail tracks. Find the Starbuck's next to the rail station, and walk towards the building that says "Coop City", walking along the street underneath that passes through the building. Once you get through "Coop City" keep walking straight (train tracks will be to your right -- keep walking along the tracks) and you'll see the tunnel garage ahead of you. - EXITING THE TUNNEL GARAGE: Stay to your right in the tunnel garage to the end and follow the pedestrian-only path in the right corner at the end of the parking area in the garage. You will want to continue to stay right throughout. When you emerge you should see Hotel Linde ahead of you. It is the tallest building in the area. Be sure to check out their web site so you know what the building looks like.

Well the only thing which i found was real good was the wifi, it worked, a bit slow sometimes, but…read moreit worked atleast. Rooms are good., but i did not get a new toiletaries each day. Breakfast was good, but i felt the staffs differentiate a bit, treating some other guests who they knew a bit more friendly. The reception staffs were very friendly, spoke very good english and were helpful. The Panorama was closed on the days i stayed, so it wasnt cool. Overall i have stayed with better hotels at the price they charged.
