Crowne Plaza Zürich by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was conveniently located outside of the city center, next to the public transportation lines. The room was clean and big enough for a short term stay. Big plus for the Nespresso machines, I could use my own capsules. Also, big plus for the complimentary access to the professional gym attached to the hotel."

"This is a vey nice hotel with professional and courteous staff. It is only a few minutes walk to Zurich Train Station (Zurich HB) and main Bus Station. It is clean and very quiet. We only wished that the cleaning crew paid a little more attention to details. We enjoyed our stay in Zurich and sightseeing immensely!"
