Top Oberstrass Hotel Reviews

Central Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff support and location in the city were perfect."

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."

Placid Hotel Design & Lifestyle Zurich

8/10 Good

"The room was really nice, with a modern look. Also great to have coffee in the room. The location is close to a tram to take you to the city centre and bus to the nearest train station, so it is not central, but convenient. Around the hotel there are a mix of some warehouses and offices, we were there at the weekend so it was very quiet. I think cleaning could be better, there were a few stains in the bathroom, but I'd stay again. We didn't have breakfast so can't comment on that."
