Zurich Marriott Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Overall"

Motel One Zürich

10/10 Excellent

"A beautiful hotel close to the tram & coop store. Wonderful breakfast with a large terrace. Room was quite comfortable and the bathroom a generous size. A kettle in the room would have been a nice extra touch but aside from that we had no complaints."

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

10/10 Excellent

"The staff are helpful. Breakfast is free and very good."

Hotel Scheuble

10/10 Excellent

"The room was lovely and the property was immaculate. It’s located right in the center of Old Town so it’s close to everything. So many shops and great restaurants right outside the doors. It very close to the train station and to Lake Zurich. The only downside is that it is very loud. Lots of street noise and church bells. We are sound sleepers so did not have an issue but we did have to sleep with the windows closed."

Hotel Alexander

8/10 Good

"Great location, the staff was extremely nice and helpful. Very close to most attractions and close to the train station. The only complaint that we had was the room was very small and with luggage there wasn’t much room to move around. I’m not much of a breakfast person but my husband enjoyed it, I ate small portions, again dining room was pretty small and it could get crowded."

Boutique Hotel Wellenberg

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful hotel. Great location. Very accommodating staff. EVERYTHING about this hotel was 5 star. I look forward to coming back."
