Top Rapperswil Hotel Reviews

Mövenpick Hotel Zuerich-Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Staff very helpful"

Moxy Zurich

8/10 Good

"Clean room and friendly staff. Breakfast was good. Please note if you are from the uk, there are No tea and coffee making facilities in the room, which might not seem to be an issue for many, but we felt it lost a star based on this and the fact that there was an issue with our shower drainage as it took a while for the water to go down. The hotel is next to a tramline but if that's not your thing then im afraid walking is impossible due to the distance. Overall pleased with our stay and would have given full stars if it wasn't for the above."
