Hotel Schweizerhof Zürich

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel is conveniently located adjacent to the main train station, and the Banofstrasse, yet the rooms are extremely quiet. Hotel staff were extremely helpful and the room was clean, spacious and well appointed. Highly recommend the hotel!"

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."
