Radisson Blu Hotel Zurich Airport
Beautiful set up, my young boys were so happy to see their beds set up waiting upon arrival. Very thoughtful for a family traveling and staying at Zurich Airport due to flight cancellation. Thank you.

Check-in was smooth and breakfast was amazing! Ideal for short stay. Room was too small though clean and neat.

Hotel Scheuble
The staff was friendly and welcoming, the common area was updated with plenty of room to get work done. The room itself was spacious, the only issue I had was that I could hear people in the adjacent room while trying to fall asleep.

Staff was good. Rooms were small and very unconfirmable. Worth to add breakfast if you decide to say at this place.
