St Gotthard Hotel

8/10 Good

"The location of this hotel is excellent! Very close to the train station where our tours meet up point was a meters away. This hotel is not a 4.5 hotel though."

Radisson Hotel Zurich Airport

8/10 Good

"The drain for the shower was terrible, water went everywhere. Other than that, there is no free shuttle bus from hotel to airport, charge CHF 10 per person. Recommend to take bus if you can handle luggages. The bus station is 3-5mins walk from the hotel."

Zurich Marriott Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel"

Novotel Zurich City West

10/10 Excellent

"A really friendly hotel which was perfect for families with young children. The reception staff were always helpful. I was always able to get warm milk for my toddler who drinks from a bottle. Swimming pool was also perfect for the children. Breakfast variety wasn’t great but none the less everyone was fed."

Crowne Plaza Zürich by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly, helpful staff . Easy check in and check out. Room was ready at 2pm, before the usual 3pm check in time. Hotel location was excellent, near tram station and grocery! Easy access 5 minutes walk to tram # 2 and #3 tram stops that takes you to Old City and lake Zurich. Excellent amenities pool, gym, jacuzzi etc! Tram #3 also takes you to Main Station HB for TGV express to Paris and other European cities! I highly recommend Crown Plaza IHG Zurich! The best 4 star hotel in Switzerland!,"
