Top ETH Zurich Hotel Reviews

Novotel Zurich City West

10/10 Excellent

"This is located in a tech and business part of Zurich with several options for dining in Techno Park. It was interesting to observe Swiss in a working environment. We were upgraded to a superior room, which had all the amenities of a 4star hotel. The front desk staff provided us information for 2 museums nearby and public transit to the airport. Storage of baggage is secure. The breakfast provides a hot buffet including a juice bar, pancake maker, and a great variety of international choices. It is a 10 minute walk to the closest train stop."

Hotel Marta - 1950’s architecture in Zurich’s vibrant old town, near main station

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I stayed at this Hotel for a few days and were happy to have booked it. It was close to everything. The train station which was used a lot and their local trolleys which we also took to go to the opera. Also it’s a street over from a long strip of restaurants so it was really nice. The girls at reception were attentive and diligent. There’s construction in front of the hotel when we were there but it didn’t bother us, we were mostly out. Overall I’m thankful I booked this place and grateful to the staff that made our stay easier."

Boutique Hotel Wellenberg

10/10 Excellent

"Close to the train station , nice breakfast, big room and clean"

Central Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is centrally located. From when we checked in to when we checked out, the hotel did not disappoint us. We ate at the hotel in the main restaurant/bar quite a bit and the food was very good. Our last night we ate in the King’s Cave and our meals were amazing. I would say do not miss out eating here during your stay or visit to Central Plaza Hotel. Staff is all areas are so friendly and welcoming, and very professional. This hotel was recommended by a friend who lives in Switzerland (stayed here every time in Zurich); and we are so glad he did. We will be recommending this hotel to anyone going to Zurich. We selected the bigger room over a balcony and were so happy we did. It provided us with the room and space we needed/wanted. You will not be disappointed staying here."

Sorell Hotel Rütli Niederdorf Zürich

10/10 Excellent

"On arrival the staff were so friendly and helpful great location and lots of nice places around for food. I would highly recommend this Hotel"

Ruby Mimi Hotel Zurich by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great place and location! Friendly staff."

Franziskaner by Centra

10/10 Excellent

"Staff is amazing, location is perfect and the room is clean and lovely."

Bristol Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel Bristol was conveniently located a short walk from the Bahnhofstrasse and Old Town. The weather was exceptionally hot this summer and the Swiss government places limits on how much air conditioning can lower temperatures in hotel rooms. For this reason, suggest requesting a room on the lower floors of the hotel in the warmer months."
