Top ETH Zurich Hotel Reviews

Hotel Scheuble

8/10 Good

"It was in a good location. It’s Switzerland, what can you say. It’s expensive and there is no value for money. But the staff were really nice and the breakfast was lovely and I would recommend staying here."

citizenM Zürich

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the location. Clean, high tech unit, smaller than normal but fine for one person. I really missed a coffee machine in the room and a good restaurant, but there were nice places in the neighborhood. I honestly loved the bed, bedding, and especially the pillows! Cool place!"

VISIONAPARTMENTS Leonhardstrasse

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean, and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. Great experience overall!"

Central Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location across from the Zürich train station. Most everything was in walking distance. However, the building next to The Central Plaza Hotel was under construction so our drapes had to be closed or construction workers could see in. The hotels AC was the best out of 5 hotels in 11 days. We do recommend that the hotel invest in real ice buckets as the foam ice cream containers wouldn’t hold a wine or champagne bottle!! All in all, we would stay here again."

St Gotthard Hotel

8/10 Good

"It Was a very good place to stay, can’t fault it"

Hotel Alexander

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, helpful staff, very good breakfast"

Boutique Hotel Wellenberg

10/10 Excellent

"The room had peeling paint on the ceiling and the towel warmer was rusted. Rooms need to be updated. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was amazing!"

Hotel Felix

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is located right in the middle of Old Town Zurich, where all the site seeing is. The hotel was nice and so was the room. They had stand up fans in the room which were nice as it was warm when we stayed and no a/c. We had no issues. I would recommend."

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