Top Swiss National Museum Hotel Reviews

Boutique Hotel Wellenberg

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room and walkable to train station"

Bristol Hotel

8/10 Good

"Near the station and in a quiet place."

St Gotthard Hotel

8/10 Good

"The location of this hotel is excellent! Very close to the train station where our tours meet up point was a meters away. This hotel is not a 4.5 hotel though."

Hotel Limmathof

8/10 Good

"The staff was very friendly and the girls at the front desk spoke english very well. Don't get the breakfast buffet thru expedia as it is less expensive directly thru the front desk you just need to let them know before midnight. I was surprised when I saw the scrambled eggs and bacon. The eggs and bacon appeared under cooked BUT they weren't. And they were very good. They also had some fruit and cereals and bread and a toaster along with milk, water, orange juice and some other juice I didn't try. They would bring you coffee if requested. One disappointing thing was the coffee bar in the lobby. It's instant coffee. If your into hot tea they did have several kinds of tea bags available. The other is NO WASHCLOTHS in the bathroom. Apparently not uncommon though as our next stay was the same. Lastly no A/C but thats normal for Switzerland. A really nice thing was the close proximity to the train station. About a 5 minute walk. One other is that Starbucks is just 2 doors away and there are multiple small restaurants on the street with outside seating for when the weather is nice. Before I forget, there is a back entrance that is much easier to use when you have suitcases as the front entrance has stairs. If I were to go back to Zurich for another vacation I would stay there again."

Fred Hotel Hauptbahnhof

10/10 Excellent

"The location is excellent, the staff is friendly, and the rooms are clean. However, the breakfast options were quite limited, which is disappointing given the hotel’s higher price point."

citizenM Zürich

8/10 Good

"Should offer free bottles of still water in the rooms"

Ruby Mimi Hotel Zurich by IHG

8/10 Good

"Friendly, helpful staff. Very happy that room was ready early. Room was clean but on the small side. Comfortable bed. A bit unusual layout in that the shower was in the room, but covered by a curtain so there was privacy. The toilet was separate. The sink was in the room. It all worked out fine though. Another plus is this hotel is very close to the train station, so very convenient for traveling."

Zurich Marriott Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel"

Hotel Montana Zürich

10/10 Excellent

"It’s good very good"
