Top ETH Zurich Hotel Reviews

Boutique Hotel Wellenberg

10/10 Excellent

"Large room, comfortable bed and very clean. Great amenities in the hotel and a delicious breakfast. Excellent location at a reasonable price. Would definitely recommend this hotel."

Hotel Scheuble

10/10 Excellent

"Was very good"

Hotel Felix

10/10 Excellent

"It was a good hotel to stay at, and the location is great! However, I do have to mention that on my first day, the towels left in my room were dirty. When I requested a clean towel, it took forever to arrive (at least 60 minutes). I eventually ended up showering with the dirty towel, which was very disappointing. The breakfast is definitely worth it, so my advice would be to include it in your booking! The rooms are small but comfortable and perfectly fine for a short stay. As for bathroom amenities, the hotel only provides a 3-in-1 body wash and body lotion, so plan accordingly. There are no shower caps, cotton balls, or other basic toiletries provided. Overall, the location is excellent and the breakfast is a plus, but the housekeeping and towel service could definitely be improved."

Franziskaner by Centra

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were so friendly and helpful. We accidentally booked one bed and need two beds. They upgraded at no charge. Was so nice of them. Will definitely let friends know to book here. The price was great. The location is very good. Thanks again"

10/10 Excellent

"This is located in a tech and business part of Zurich with several options for dining in Techno Park. It was interesting to observe Swiss in a working environment. We were upgraded to a superior room, which had all the amenities of a 4star hotel. The front desk staff provided us information for 2 museums nearby and public transit to the airport. Storage of baggage is secure. The breakfast provides a hot buffet including a juice bar, pancake maker, and a great variety of international choices. It is a 10 minute walk to the closest train stop."

EVERYONE THERE IS SWEET AND AWESOME. This is my favorite hotel so far. Breakfast is included in the room price. Had a nice quiet sleep. Near the train station"
