Top Zürich Hotel Reviews

ibis Styles Zurich City Center

10/10 Excellent

"The location is great. Such a short safe walk to the train station. Only issue was it took me way too long to figure out how to turn on the lights in the hotel room. I actually had to Google it. Would definitely recommend adding instructions in room or told upon check in. For those wondering, you have to put your key card in a slot by the bathroom door in order for the lights to work."

Zurich Marriott Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing stay at the Marriott Zurich! Everything was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. The location is excellent and very convenient for exploring the city. One of the highlights of our stay was the beautiful view of the Limmat River from our room, it was absolutely gorgeous and made the experience even more special. The staff was also outstanding: extremely helpful, attentive, and welcoming throughout our stay. Everything about the hotel exceeded our expectations. We truly enjoyed our time here and would absolutely stay again. Highly recommended!"

Hotel Limmathof

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms were clean. There is a good selection at the buffet, the bacon is especially good. The only thing that surprised me was the number of staircases, it makes it slightly more challenging for elderly guests, though not impossible, as there is an elevator to all floors. Overall a wonderful hotel."

Hotel Schweizerhof Zürich

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great and a good memory was recorded for us."

THE FLAG Zürich

10/10 Excellent

"Really lovely service, clean rooms and complimentry ice cream which is always a bonus ! 😋"

Hotel Montana Zürich

8/10 Good

"The hotel is very close to Zurich‘s train station, giving easy access to plenty of shops, restaurants and further travel. The staff was friendly and very helpful, and the hotel provided a more than adequate breakfast. One negative is the area surrounding the hotel, which can be noisy at night."

Hotel Scheuble

8/10 Good

"Room was a great size and hotel well located"

Saint Georges Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Room was very clean and cozy. I loved the staff, they were friendly and welcoming, made me want to come again. I have already stayed here twice and will be staying again."
