Amazing hotel very sweet staff helping you get checked in and checking out and for any questions amazing hotel very clean and safe and amazing drinks at the bar and very accessible area 10/10 would stay again.
Hotel was in a nice location, quiet at night and close to a tram stop which made getting around quiet easy. Hotel staff was extremely friendly every time we needed something. We have stayed a citizen M before and that great experience gave us the confidence in booking them in Zürich. Would highly recommend.
Surprised to not have any cups or glasses in the room and by the lack of hotel-specific information re on-site amenities.
Very chic, modern hotel with wonderful public spaces.
I totally enjoyed my stay at citizenM! From the ease of checking in and friendly staff to the location and cleanliness, everything was perfect.
I did an overnight to Zurich with a friend to celebrate her birthday and was very glad I chose here to stay. Checkin and recieveing your key was very easy and is done by you (unless you need assistance and they were happy to help). While not really huge, the rooms are so quaint and everything is operated by an ipad.
The bigger plus, is it is walking distance to a lot (esp Zurich cental station). I would stay here again if I visited.
Warm friendly service from the welcome, to the breakfast and the room attendants. Clean bedrooms and very comfortable beds. A lovely breakfast. All in all a great experience
Great staff. Nice walkable location. Clean room. A bit small but Europe so expected. Quiet hotel. Nice for solo travelers. Breakfast was decent. Convenient late night food options. Would definitely stay here again.
Great location with easy access to Old Town and the Christmas markets. Staff was super friendly, everything was spotless, and the rooms were impressively quiet. My only gripes: the rooms are very small and ran hot with no real temperature control. Otherwise, a solid stay!
Staff at the check-in were very helpful. I like that I-Pad in the room to control everything. Also, like the slim and clean look of the room. No fancy extras just a nice room to sleep in.
I had a great stay at this hotel. Everything was clean, modern, and well maintained. The room and bedding were spotless and very comfortable. The location is extremely convenient, and the front desk service was excellent. Overall, it was a very pleasant and comfortable experience. Highly recommended.
