Top Urania Observatory Hotel Reviews

Sorell Boutique-Hotel Seidenhof Zürich

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff, excellent breakfast, large comfortable room"

Ruby Mimi Hotel Zurich by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great place and location! Friendly staff."

Townhouse Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We spent 3 nights over a weekend at Townhouse Boutique hotel and were very happy with our choice. The hotel is just off the Banhoffstrasse but it is still a peaceful little spot and just two blocks from Zurich’s main train station. We had a Jr. Suite on the 4th floor on the backside of the building so it was very quiet and the room had plenty of space including a full size sofa, small table and chair and a well equipped kitchenette. We also enjoyed the very nice continental breakfast offered in the morning for an extra 20 CHF per person. Would definitely stay here again and recommend, particularly if traveling by train."
