Radisson Hotel & Suites Zurich
Our room was spacious and clean. The rool was missing a tv remote. Requested but didnt get it. That's okay. Staff was very friendly. They have a laundry facility but the machine or wash apps was not easy to use. Overall, i was happy and would stay here again.

Great hotel. Rooms are small for the price but very well laid out and comfortable. We stayed in much larger rooms in other hotels on our trip that were far less enjoyable! I have no difficulty recommending this hotel to other travellers.
