Hotel Allegra Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"the hotel is really close to the airport and 8 mins by the bus from the airport. easy to go to city centre by train as the the station is near by. supermarket is around 3 mins walk. great hotel for visitors who want to stay away from the noise of the city centre."

Radisson Hotel Zurich Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Comfortable modern hotel with easy access to airport . Public bus at door but also access to shuttle bus transfers . My only criticism would be poor service in restaurant and bar - one server was ridiculous . He did his best but ended up going to our room with a bottle from the kiosk because we couldn’t wait any longer . We waited over 25 min to try to order dessert and gave up. Frustrating given there were 3 staff mulling around reception that could have given him a hand "
