Top Effretikon Hotel Reviews
IntercityHotel Zurich Airport
"Very nice place to stay briefly. Room was comfortable. Location was convenient"
ibis budget Zurich Airport
"This is a “you get what you pay for” kind of place. It’s very basic, but perfectly fine for a night or two when your priority is to be near the airport. Could have been a little cleaner (for example, the shower didn’t seem to have been cleaned super well before we arrived) but otherwise it was fine and the staff was friendly and helpful."
Hotel Scheuble
"Room was a great size and hotel well located"
Radisson Hotel & Suites Zurich
"Very clean room and helpful staff. Tram stop 60 seconds walk from the hotel door straight to airport or Zurich central."
Crowne Plaza Zürich by IHG
"Great central location, great staff"
Saint Georges Hotel
"Room was very clean and cozy. I loved the staff, they were friendly and welcoming, made me want to come again. I have already stayed here twice and will be staying again."
Hotel Limmathof
"Hotel is helpfully close to the train and bus station- allowed us to get around easily. We used the hotel as a base but spent our days travelling around to different cities and villages so only used the room in the evenings. It is worth a note that there is no air-conditioning when hot so keep this in mind."
Hyatt Place Zurich Airport The Circle
"Hotel rooms and public areas were clean. Very conveniently located to transit facilities. Breakfast was satisfactory. Reception/ Check in process was great, Na"
Mövenpick Hotel Zuerich-Airport
"The main drawback was that their restaurant basically only served one dish, and that was schnitzel. I like schnitzel, but theirs was poorly prepared. My wife makes better. Also, if you sat outside, there were bees constantly swarming your table and food, no matter where you tried to sit."
