Top ETH Zurich Hotel Reviews

City Pop 2Night Zürich City - Self check-in

10/10 Excellent

"It is so accessible to everything. Cleanliness is superb! I am very satisfied with my stay!!! Excellent!!!!"

Ruby Mimi Hotel Zurich by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"What a find! A great hotel just opposite the main train station- convenient for getting to / from the airport, using tramlines - and visiting the Lindt Chocolate experience. Our room was ready before official check-in time - and check in was seamless. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful - especially Shannon. Room was very modern and spacious and we were lucky to be situated just opposite a kitchenette where tea and coffee were available all day. The hotel also has its own cinema - movies in English every evening. We ate in the restaurant that night - food and staff were amazing as was the service in the bar ! Hotel is within easy walking distance of the main shopping area and the old town. Highly recommended - couldn't fault anything. Would gladly stay there again."

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

8/10 Good

"The location is excellent except the street the hotel is on is undergoing construction work underground and is all torn up. It can be noisy Monday thru Friday. It’s easy walking distance to just about anywhere you want to go in Zurich. The rooms are very basic , not fancy. Not many power outlets. Only one pillow per person and one towel Beds are ok. Staff is excellent and eager to help in any way. Vegetarian breakfast is okay. Coffee and tea are available free all day Elevator is tiny which is the case all over Switzerland I have found. I would gladly stay here again."
