Furnished apartments across Switzerland
Amanthos Living operates a small chain of serviced apartments at three Swiss locations: the Zurich Airport area, Solothurn, and Nyon on Lake Geneva. The firm positions itself explicitly against hotel stays, and the pitch centers on value: apartments with full kitchens, laundry, and workspace at roughly one quarter the cost of a four-star hotel room in the same city. All units are fully furnished and include utilities and WiFi in the quoted rate, with no per-night charges for basic amenities. The firm's own marketing states that 1,220 guests have stayed across the portfolio, with a 4.3-star rating derived from online reviews.
For someone arriving in Switzerland without furnished housing yet, the appeal is immediate access to a workspace, a kitchen, and laundry: the three things a hotel room does not provide and a temporary rental requires from day one. All three locations advertise digital check-in with a keycode sent by email, so arrival can happen outside business hours without coordination. That matters to someone landing off an overnight flight and wanting to sleep immediately, rather than waiting for an office to open. The firm publishes that 94 percent of guests report they would book again, a metric drawn from its own guest feedback.
The Zurich Airport location is in Glattbrugg, roughly one kilometer from the airport terminal, with 22 furnished business suites. Nightly rates start at CHF 109 per night, shown as "from CHF 109/night." The Solothurn location is in Grenchen, a town in the Swiss watchmaking heartland; Amanthos lists 23 apartments and advertises rates starting at CHF 49 per night, the lowest of the three locations. Nyon on Lake Geneva has the smallest portfolio at 12 units, with nightly rates starting from CHF 99 per night. A comparison table on the site claims that hotels in the same areas average CHF 180 or more per night, making the Solothurn option substantially cheaper than equivalent hotel accommodation.
Every apartment includes a fully equipped kitchen with refrigerator, oven, dishwasher, and premium cookware. All have high-speed WiFi at no additional cost, a smart TV, and a washing machine (not specified whether in-unit or building-shared). Professional cleaning with linen and towel changes is included in the daily rate and occurs on a regular schedule, not on-demand or with extra charges. The firm publishes that apartments range from 12 to 75 square meters, accommodating stays from a few days to several months. Parking is available at all three locations: CHF 7.50 per day in Zurich, and unquoted fees in Solothurn and Nyon, though the site notes that parking is "available" at each without specifying whether it is on-site, off-site, covered, or reserved.
Check-in is entirely self-service via digital keycode, with no front desk or phone coordination required. A guest receives access instructions via email before arrival, and can enter anytime after the specified check-in time. The firm does not publish a specific checkout time or time-of-day restriction, only that "digital check-in" is available 24/7. Optional add-ons include extra towels (CHF 5 per night), an additional pillow and blanket set (CHF 10 per night), and the parking charges noted above. No other add-ons are listed.
Cancellation terms differ by the rate type chosen at booking: "refundable" rates allow free cancellation up to 24 to 48 hours before check-in (the exact window is not specified), while "non-refundable" rates offer the lowest price but cannot be modified or cancelled. A guest choosing the rate type during booking sees which applies to the price offered. For business travel, the firm notes that every unit includes dedicated workspace, high-speed connectivity suitable for video conferencing, and fully equipped kitchen, and can provide invoices for corporate expense reporting.
The site does not publish a specific lease-length policy: whether a one-week stay carries a weekly rate or whether daily rates simply stack, whether monthly discounts exist for 30+ day bookings, or what the absolute minimum stay is. It does not clarify whether "regular professional cleaning" means twice weekly or weekly or whether guests can opt out for a lower rate during long stays. The site does not describe the neighborhoods beyond the Grenchen/watchmaking reference and the Lake Geneva views marketed for Nyon. It does not specify air conditioning availability, noise levels, or the condition of furnishings (modern or dated). It also does not name the proprietors, confirm corporate registration, or describe the company's history beyond the guest count and ratings.
This firm is ideally suited to corporate relocations where the employee needs furnished housing for three to twelve weeks while awaiting permanent housing, to business travelers on assignment in Switzerland who want to avoid the hotel grind, and to families visiting Switzerland for an extended stay and wanting kitchen autonomy and laundry without the friction of a serviced-apartment concierge. The Solothurn location is specifically valuable for anyone with work in the watchmaking industry or the surrounding canton. Someone seeking month-long housing at near-budget rates will find real value here; someone wanting high-touch service or boutique aesthetics will not.
