Hotel Limmathof

Old Town Zürich

10/10 Excellent

We found this room to be better than we expected. It had four beds for my family with two adult children, but little seating. Staff were friendly. Great location close to old town. We actually had an amazing view of the river. My only issue: I thought I was booking a room that included breakfast and when I arrived I found out that breakfast, while in the hotel, does cost extra... a lot extra. Fortunately there were a couple of little shops close by where we were able to get snacks. There...

A cozy attic bedroom with a sloped ceiling, a skylight, a bed with fluffy pillows, and two bedside lamps.

Airhome Zug Neugasse Stadtzentrum

10/10 Excellent

We had an awesome time and absolutely loved the apartment. There was one main bedroom and then there were 3 additional beds, which worked perfectly for us. The drive to Zurich was only 20 minutes and there were great restaurants and stores nearby so we didn't have to travel very far. The entire apartment was extremely well kept and clean. I would definitely recommend this place if your looking for an inexpensive place to stay not too far from Zurich.
