The hostel itself was very clean, it has a nice garden, it is near a river. Very good relaxation spot!"

Top Zürich Hotel Reviews

Saint Georges Hotel

Saint Georges Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"A pretty good deal for the most expensive city in the world. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Amenities were good despite the fact that the toilets/shower was down the hall, perhaps something many Americans aren’t used to. But they were very clean and civilized. You might not want to stay here in the heat of the summer because there’s no air-conditioning, but fortunately the weather broke to be somewhat cooler while we were here. Property is cllose to the Weideken train station, a little bit further from the main HBF Definitely worth it."
