10/10 Excellent

"Had a lovely one night stay here, rooms are very modern, super clean and in a great central area."

Central Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Central Plaza Hotel, Zurich — Excellent Location and Wonderful Service! We had a very pleasant stay at Central Plaza Hotel in Zurich! The location is definitely one of its biggest advantages. We arrived by train from Zermatt, and the hotel was just a 5–7 minute walk from the station, which was incredibly convenient, especially with luggage. The rooms were a comfortable, standard size and very clean. The only downside was the view, which wasn’t particularly appealing from our room since it didn’t face the river. However, this didn’t affect our overall experience. Breakfast was very good, with a nice variety of options. One of our favorite spots was the hotel bar, which had a fantastic atmosphere, great music, an excellent selection of drinks, and incredibly friendly bartenders. A perfect place to relax in the evening! The ladies at the front desk also deserve special recognition for being exceptionally kind, welcoming, and helpful. Overall, a great hotel with an excellent location, wonderful staff, and a fantastic bar. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it, especially if you’re traveling by train!"

Sorell Hotel Rütli Niederdorf Zürich

8/10 Good

"We had a pleasant stay overall. The hotel staff were very nice, friendly, and welcoming throughout our visit. The room was comfortable, although it felt a bit dark even with all the lights on, and it was a little warm inside, so we had to open the window to get a better breeze. The location is excellent, being very close to the train station and within walking distance of many restaurants and convenience stores, which made getting around very easy. The breakfast was amazing and one of the highlights of our stay. There was a great selection of delicious food, making it the perfect way to start the day before exploring. The breakfast staff were also incredibly friendly and accommodating. Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay and would gladly return"
