"The room was clean and comfortable. Very cozy vibe to it, on the smaller side but had everything for me as 1 person. Staff friendly and helpful. Has air conditioning which is a plus, though it does not cool room down that much which hotel is aware of and had fan already in my room which was sufficient. Great location! Very central and near river. Cons: there is nowhere to stay in the lobby should you get there early and need a place to relax before room, breakfast is 20 CHF which is honestly not...

Top Zoo Zurich Hotel Reviews

Hotel Scheuble

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly front desk made check in easy. Very good breakfast. Great location"

Hotel Limmathof

8/10 Good

"Great location near train station. Basic accommodation. Room was fine. Had everything you need. Was clean although somewhat dated. Good value."

Sorell Boutique-Hotel Zürichberg

8/10 Good

"The hotel and its property and the views are amazing. Everything is kept very clean including our room. The reception staff were always responsive to our needs and helpful to provide us with anything we needed. The bar staff was fantastic and even provided us with blankets to sit outside in the cool evening. The only problem we experienced was our last morning when we had limited time before leaving for the train station, no one came to take our order for more than 20 minutes. Everyone else was greeted and waited on except us, leaving us to leave with only having croissants, juice and coffee. It is a beautiful place and maybe not everyone will experience what we did."

Ruby Mimi Hotel Zurich by IHG

8/10 Good

"It was small and quaint."

Hotel Schweizerhof Zürich

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome hotel! Clean room and very centric."

The Dolder Grand

8/10 Good

"Overall, we had a positive stay at The Dolder Grand. The location is wonderful, offering a peaceful retreat outside the hustle and bustle of Zurich. The staff, from check-in to the concierge and porters, were consistently friendly, professional, and welcoming. However, I would give the hotel four stars rather than five, particularly for families traveling with young children. While the hotel makes some effort to accommodate families, it is not what I would consider a truly family-friendly luxury resort. Children have limited access to certain amenities, including the spa and pool-related facilities, and the restaurant does not offer a dedicated children’s menu. The hotel does provide a children’s playroom, which is a nice gesture, but it is essentially a guest room converted into a play space rather than a fully equipped kids’ club with supervised activities and programming, as you might find at other family-friendly luxury resorts. The property is also quite large, so getting around can take time, especially with little ones. Ultimately, we found ourselves leaving the hotel to find activities to keep our children entertained. This was disappointing, as one of the main reasons we chose to stay outside Zurich was to enjoy a relaxing resort and take advantage of the hotel’s amenities without needing to leave the property. The Dolder Grand is a beautiful hotel with exceptional service in a wonderful setting. I would absolutely recommend it to adults but not families."

ibis Styles Zurich City Center

8/10 Good

"Ibis style allowed us to use Sauna room even before our room was ready, so instead of waiting we got ready. Finished breakfast, got the room early check in. That saved lot of time for sightseeing in Zurich Hotel is in walking distance of many tourist attractions"

Bristol Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very well located at a walking distance from central train station. Situated on a quiet street. Staff were very friendly. Very comfortable bed."

Boutique Hotel Wellenberg

10/10 Excellent

"The property was safe, close to restaurants, close enough to the train station, close to lots of shopping. The staff was kind enough to give us a free upgrade to a suite for our family which was amazing and huge. We stayed one night before leaving back home to the United States. We were in Switzerland at three other hotels before staying here, and I will say I don’t know if it is a Swiss or European thing, but the pillows were just not that comfortable. I think they’re all made from down feathers, and when you lay your head on them, they just go completely flat. The breakfast was sufficient, but of all the hotels we stayed at in Switzerland, it was our least favorite… it was closer to an American continental breakfast. That being said, this was also the cheapest hotel we stayed at so maybe that correlates."
