Boutique Hotel Wellenberg

10/10 Excellent

"Easy access to old town tourist sites"

Glockenhof Zürich

10/10 Excellent

"Great location- easy walk from the train station even with roller luggage bags! Professional and attentive staff checked us in and had our bags to our room soon after we got to the door. Complimentary breakfast was a nice touch! Nice interior shaded courtyard to dine or sip an aperol spritz after shopping. All fixtures were industrial grade commonly seen in Europe, as opposed to cheaply built US rooms. Older crowd here but it was super pleasant. And the room had AC!!!! Super helpful with the heat dome looming there."

Central Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was super responsive from the start. I emailed them regarding a few matters on our stay and they made sure to note it. They even provided some baby toys for our little one. Location is very central and an easy walk to the main train station and old town area. The AC is great to have on hot summer days."
