Townhouse Boutique Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff were helpful. Room was nicely decorated but bathroom was a little dated. A good nights sleep in a convenient location. Breakfast was adequate."

Hotel Scheuble

10/10 Excellent

"Very good location to be able to explore Zurich. My only comment is to be aware that the bathroom in the room (at least that we stayed in) may not be what western cultures are used to. Sliding glass doors allow ALL sounds to echo into the room! Lol! If you are not modest, it may not be a big deal for you."

Hotel Adler Zürich

10/10 Excellent

"It's a convenient 8-minute walk from the Zurich train station and located in the heart of the Zurich Old Town. I had the smaller 1-person room and it was great for my trip. Hotel provided excellent complimentary breakfast. By the way, the hotel restaurant is one of the best fondue places in the city. Don't skip it!"

Sorell Hotel Rütli Niederdorf Zürich

8/10 Good

"Close to transport, shopping and eateries. Convenient location and lovely breakfast. Room is acceptable size but a bit challenging to open 2 suitcases at one time. Room has fridge, safe, kettle and great coffee machine. The main down side is the very low tech air conditioner that hardly cools the room. Summer is not fully upon us but the room feels like at least 30C the whole time even though the air conditioning is on full blast."
