City Pop 2Night Zürich City - Self check-in

10/10 Excellent

"Easy access and modern room with everything you could need. Good location only 5 mins walk from the station. Would stay again"

Hotel Marta - 1950’s architecture in Zurich’s vibrant old town, near main station

10/10 Excellent

"Fun experience"

Hotel Felix

8/10 Good

"The hotel is in a great location for seeing the city as it is close to trams, buses and main railway station. The hotel is perfectly nice, however there are major roadworks being undertaken outside the hotel at the main entrance. The works start just after 7am and finish around 5pm Monday to Friday. Not sure how long the work will continue but early in the morning the noise of the digger and other mechanical equipment can be noisy. My room faced the road."
