Motel One Zürich
Staff were very friendly and helpful. Location is pretty good. Public spaces were nice. Was given a room opposite the elevator and could hear noisy conversations as people gathered here. Borrowed an iron which was faulty and didn’t work. Breakfast was poor for the price paid.

Hotel Limmathof
The best location imaginable. Rooms are small but clean, newly furnished, new bathroom. The entrance looks a little old but the rest is perfect! Staf very helpful and friendly. Didn't have breakfast, so cant comment, but plenty of options nearby for that if you wish.
