Top Oberstrass Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Zurich Airport The Circle

10/10 Excellent

"Very comfortable"

ibis budget Zurich Airport

8/10 Good

"This is a “you get what you pay for” kind of place. It’s very basic, but perfectly fine for a night or two when your priority is to be near the airport. Could have been a little cleaner (for example, the shower didn’t seem to have been cleaned super well before we arrived) but otherwise it was fine and the staff was friendly and helpful."

Mövenpick Hotel Zuerich-Airport

8/10 Good

"The main drawback was that their restaurant basically only served one dish, and that was schnitzel. I like schnitzel, but theirs was poorly prepared. My wife makes better. Also, if you sat outside, there were bees constantly swarming your table and food, no matter where you tried to sit."
