Hotel Limmathof

Hotel Limmathof

8/10 Good
"We chose Hotel Limmathof mostly for the nearness to the train station. It's an older building so expect some stairs before approaching the elevator. That was just fine for us. The reception staff is very friendly and helpful - very much appreciated. The room was spacious enough and a floor fan was a nice touch on a humid night for sleeping. Also everything was very clean. The beds were very comfortable. It's in the city, so there is a little bit of noise from traffic at night and this should not bother most people. The price was more affordable than most surrounding hotels. I'll probably return there."

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."

"Great location only five minutes or so to Old Town Zurich. Nice breakfast and helpful staff. Room fairly basic but was fine as we were out most of the time. No safe deposit box in room which was unexpected and not ideal."
