THE FLAG Zürich

THE FLAG Zürich

10/10 Excellent
"Very helpful stuff. Stayed for six days. I came early on my first day. They let me check in at 10:30. Also, if you forgot to bring the outlet converter, the front desk will lend you one or two. Plenty of restaurant around the vicinity and the public transport nearby."

8/10 Good
"Would have been nice to get a heads up about the noisy construction happening on the whole street- taxi could not get to the hotel! Breakfast was good. Asked twice to have a simple lightbulb replaced- never happened. Location close to restaurants and excursion pickup point which was handy."

Novotel Zurich City West

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."
