Top ETH Zurich Hotel Reviews

City Pop 2Night Zürich City - Self check-in

8/10 Good

"The room was really modern and quite nice to stay. HOWEVER, like most places in Zurich, there was/is NO parking within 20 mins of the hotel. We had to park at the Hardau Park 2 park house and then take an Uber - both ways of course. But highly recommend this hotel if you can figure out parking."

Boutique Hotel Wellenberg

10/10 Excellent

"The location of this property is fantastic and we loved it. Sadly there is a bit of construction in the area but we still would have stayed in this area. The room was spacious and beds comfortable. We loved the air conditioner because my husband and I both run hot at night. The breakfast was wonderful and their staff even better. I highly recommend this property."
