How's the Zurich Airport Transit Hotel?

One of the options we're looking at for our flights could be an overnight layover at Zurich (around May-June, 9 days). There is not website for it, but just a form you send them or a phone call. There's only 1 available picture, and it looks nice and decent! The 3 beds are facing this big transparent window looking out to where the planes are.

Have you tried it? How much? How comfortable is it since it's facing the planes?

Thanks!

This hotel is "airside", i.e. when arriving you access it before going through immigration.
The chief attraction of hotels like these is for people changing planes at Zürich who would need a visa to get into Switzerland. By staying at an airside hotel, and leaving by plane the next day they avoid the need for a visa.

If you are a citizen of a country which does not need visas for the Schengen Area, or are travelling to or from another Schengen country, this restriction does not apply to you and you can exit the airport and stay at one of the many nearby hotels.
Notably the Radison Blu which is within walking distance of the terminal: https://www.radissonblu.com/en/hotel-zurichairport
