Hotel Scheuble
The staff was friendly and welcoming, the common area was updated with plenty of room to get work done. The room itself was spacious, the only issue I had was that I could hear people in the adjacent room while trying to fall asleep.

ibis Styles Zurich City Center
Staff was good. Rooms were small and very unconfirmable. Worth to add breakfast if you decide to say at this place.

Boutique Hotel Wellenberg
The room was spotless and so nice the location was second to none in the area and the restaurants surrounding the hotel are amazing!
