ibis Styles Zurich City Center

10/10 Excellent

"Easy access to center station,and other transportation "

Crowne Plaza Zürich by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is very nice when you enter and the room was pleasant too. I liked the fact that we had a kettle in our room and the reception staff were happy to provide English Breakfast teabags for me to use in the room. We also got a dressing gown and slippers which we were able to use to go down to the pool in. The pool and sundeck was an added bonus for our stay. It was nice to have a swim and then relax after a busy day out and about. The location was easy to get to via tram from the station, just needed to take number 3. The stadium is only a couple of minutes walk which was also helpful. There was also a fridge in the room, which again was another bonus. We didn't have breakfast (as it was quite expensive) so can't comment on the restaurant facilities but apart from that, great hotel, great reception area to sit and nice comfortable beds. Quite, dark rooms, great!"

Radisson Hotel & Suites Zurich

10/10 Excellent

"This is a really amazing hotel. Very clean and modern. The bathroom is fantastic and spacious. Shower is big and water pressure and warmth is great. Only downside is the room lighting, there is no main light. Location is great only a couple minutes walk to the nearest tram stop - that takes you both into the centre of Zurich one way and the airport the other way. Staff are friendly and helpful. Enjoyed our stay here! "

Placid Hotel Design & Lifestyle Zurich

10/10 Excellent

"Our family had a lovely stay at Placid Hotel in Zurich. The rooms were clean and the bed was very comfortable. We dined at the hotel restaurant and it was delicious. So was the breakfast in the morning. The staff was kind enough to explain how to use Zurich's public transportation, so we used the tram and bus system to visit several sites around the city. "
