Zurich Hotels

We were recommended this hotel based on it's location and proximity to Sihlcity. (we needed to be based in the area). We had pre-booked a baby cot in the room for our son which I had confirmed via email. Upon arrival, at about 4pm, the hotel receptionist was friendly until I asked if the cot was in the room. He said that there was no cot in the room. He then became quite rude and said that there was nothing he could do since house keeping were no longer available for the day. I referred to my email and after the receptionist double checked his computer, he stated that the baby cot was already in the room. When we reached the room, it was very nice and clean. The baby cot was in the room. Only complaints were that the baby cot was not in the best condition and we were forced to use pillows and blankets to create a type of mattress for the cot. (The cot base was broken so was very uncomfortable for my son).The actual beds were also very soft. Apart from the initial receptionist being a bit rude, the remaining staff were very friendly and helpful. We ate breakfast in the hotel and it was very nice.

We had a lovely stay in the rooftop apartment. The hotel staff were extremely nice, friendly and helpful - could not fault them whatsoever! Breakfast (which is included in the room rate) was far beyond our expectations, with a tasty selection. If I return to Zürich I would definitely think of staying here again.

I stayed at this hotel for business. It was located 5 minutes from the train stattion and from there a very short ride to the Zurich train stattion. I really enjoyed my stay here. It felt like home. There are shops and restaurants about 3 minutes from this hotel as well. It is a quiet enough location.

Modern, good facilities a bit far from the centre but an excellent tram service helps. Staff are friendly and helpful

I had an excellent stay at the Hotel Seefeld. I decided to cab to the hotel after arriving early in the morning on an overnight flight from the US -- about 65 Swiss Francs (about $70). The staff who greeted me told me that it would be easier to take the train back to the airport (take the S16 to Stadelhoffen and then walk or take the tram about .5 miles down Seefeld Street), and it would cost about ($7). The staff also immediately set me up with an available room, so I could get a nap. This is not a luxury hotel, i.e., no one running to grab your bags and carry them for you and then expecting a tip, but it is a nice hotel. The lobby is right next to the front door, as is the bar, where you eat breakfast. My room was very modern, and the only downside was the bed, which was comfortable, but consisted of two mattresses next to each other -- it would not be ideal for romance. Being required to insert your door key into a wall slot to operate the lights also takes some getting used to, but at least it made it difficult to lose your room key when you were in your room. Breakfast was included in the price we paid, and it was good -- a buffet that included scrambled eggs, yogurt, cheese, some sandwich meet, breads, juices, coffee/tea, and croissants. Once I was settled into the hotel, downtown was a short walk/tram away, and there were many great restaurants nearby. Overall an excellent experience while on a business trip.

This hotel is located a 5 minute drive from the airport. Once you find the designated airport hotel shuttle loading site, you find out that it is the only hotel hotel in a long list to charge for the suttle service: 12 CHF per person ! We were 3 people in our party and ended up being charged 36 CHF for a five minute drive that would have cost us half that amount without the wait ! Since it is in the middle of nowhere, we dined at the hotel restaurant. The total bill was close to 100 CHF per person, not including wine or desserts. Food was ok (microwave heated fare). To top it off, breakfast next morning was 30 CHF per person for stale bread, day old croissants and a paltry selection of cold cuts. A total rip-off... We went back to the airport on a taxi (recommendation by staff, who call one for us). Conclusion: stay away from this place. They nickle and dime you (or rather get big bucks) for anything other than a bed. You will spend lots of bucs for little in return.

This very well appointed new hotel is well located on a tram-line only 15 minutes from central Zurich. It's also only 20 minutes by taxi from the airport. Facilities are good at the 4-star level, but more staff training is needed... telephone calls did not get put through properly - it seemed some front desk staff didn't know how; housekeeping staff did a rather incomplete service, forgetting to replace toiletries, coffee, etc; a request for a bellman seemed to just not reach the bell-desk, and so on. That said, it is a good hotel, new and modestly priced in a very expensive market, and is well worth considering on a business trip. Not to be recommended by this writer for a tourist visit as the area is an industrial one under redevelopment.
