Top Zürich Hotel Reviews

Boutique Hotel Wellenberg

10/10 Excellent

"The room had peeling paint on the ceiling and the towel warmer was rusted. Rooms need to be updated. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was amazing!"

Moxy Zurich

8/10 Good

"Clean room and friendly staff. Breakfast was good. Please note if you are from the uk, there are No tea and coffee making facilities in the room, which might not seem to be an issue for many, but we felt it lost a star based on this and the fact that there was an issue with our shower drainage as it took a while for the water to go down. The hotel is next to a tramline but if that's not your thing then im afraid walking is impossible due to the distance. Overall pleased with our stay and would have given full stars if it wasn't for the above."

Zurich Marriott Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to in Zurich and very close to Main Street to restaurants and shops walking distance"

Hotel Scheuble

8/10 Good

"The staff was great, there was plenty of room in the Junior Suite, the location can’t be beat and we had all the towels and coffee pods we needed. Our only complaint was that the shower had very poor water pressure and sometimes the unit was hot requiring we open the windows and then it was a bit noisy."

Bristol Hotel

8/10 Good

"This hotel is convenient to the Zurich main train station. I was only there for one night. The hotel was clean, and the staff was professional and friendly. Would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a place to stay near the Zurich Main Train Station."

10/10 Excellent

"Staffs are helpful ，small room keeps clean，fair price."

Hotel Schweizerhof Zürich

10/10 Excellent

"Exceptional, very centrally located."
