Top ETH Zurich Hotel Reviews

Bristol Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome Awesome 👌 place to stay"

Hotel Scheuble

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly front desk made check in easy. Very good breakfast. Great location"

Hotel Limmathof

8/10 Good

"Great location near train station. Basic accommodation. Room was fine. Had everything you need. Was clean although somewhat dated. Good value."

Ruby Mimi Hotel Zurich by IHG

8/10 Good

"It was small and quaint."

Hotel Schweizerhof Zürich

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome hotel! Clean room and very centric."

ibis Styles Zurich City Center

8/10 Good

"Ibis style allowed us to use Sauna room even before our room was ready, so instead of waiting we got ready. Finished breakfast, got the room early check in. That saved lot of time for sightseeing in Zurich Hotel is in walking distance of many tourist attractions"

Sorell Hotel Rütli Niederdorf Zürich

8/10 Good

"Our room was very small for 2 people. It was clean & quiet, with a great location to the old town & train station. The included breakfast was very good."

Boutique Hotel Wellenberg

10/10 Excellent

"The property was safe, close to restaurants, close enough to the train station, close to lots of shopping. The staff was kind enough to give us a free upgrade to a suite for our family which was amazing and huge. We stayed one night before leaving back home to the United States. We were in Switzerland at three other hotels before staying here, and I will say I don’t know if it is a Swiss or European thing, but the pillows were just not that comfortable. I think they’re all made from down feathers, and when you lay your head on them, they just go completely flat. The breakfast was sufficient, but of all the hotels we stayed at in Switzerland, it was our least favorite… it was closer to an American continental breakfast. That being said, this was also the cheapest hotel we stayed at so maybe that correlates."

Pop Up Hotel Krone Zürich

10/10 Excellent

"We booked a double room with a view of the river and the en-suite. The room was great. I loved the view. It was clean and great for one night in Zurich. The location was great in the Old city."
