Boutique Hotel Wellenberg

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Lots to do right in that area. Was there for 48 hours and didn’t need to use public transportation to see what old town Zurich was all about."

Motel One Zürich

"No gym. No body cream."

Novotel Zurich City West

10/10 Excellent

"This is located in a tech and business part of Zurich with several options for dining in Techno Park. It was interesting to observe Swiss in a working environment. We were upgraded to a superior room, which had all the amenities of a 4star hotel. The front desk staff provided us information for 2 museums nearby and public transit to the airport. Storage of baggage is secure. The breakfast provides a hot buffet including a juice bar, pancake maker, and a great variety of international choices. It is a 10 minute walk to the closest train stop."

Hotel Marta - 1950’s architecture in Zurich’s vibrant old town, near main station

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I stayed at this Hotel for a few days and were happy to have booked it. It was close to everything. The train station which was used a lot and their local trolleys which we also took to go to the opera. Also it’s a street over from a long strip of restaurants so it was really nice. The girls at reception were attentive and diligent. There’s construction in front of the hotel when we were there but it didn’t bother us, we were mostly out. Overall I’m thankful I booked this place and grateful to the staff that made our stay easier."
