I guess it depends on where your flight lands. I was also coming in from a Schengen country.

Transit Hotel is located next to Gates D, 1st floor at the non-Schengen area (no visa needed). The Transit Hotel’s reception is manned round the clock.
The boarding pass and security check are open until 22:30, and passport control until 23:00 and as of 5:30 (access possible only with a boarding card and only with hand luggage).
Please note that access to and from the Transit Hotel is not possible from the Schengen area between 23:00 and 5:30
That's very important to know. Although, my flight is coming from Romania which is a EU country but NOT in Schengen space. I think I might be on the same airside with the transit hotel? I have to check the flight that brings me to Zurich and maybe I can figure out the gate/terminal. BTW did you have to pay when you booked the transit hotel in the first place, or it was supposed to be paid in person on arrival. If you remember. Thanks.
