Top Zürich Hotel Reviews

Hotel Schweizerhof Zürich

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel is conveniently located adjacent to the main train station, and the Banofstrasse, yet the rooms are extremely quiet. Hotel staff were extremely helpful and the room was clean, spacious and well appointed. Highly recommend the hotel!"

Boutique Hotel Wellenberg

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay - friendly and helpful staff, AC was super nice to have, vibrant area of town but still quiet in our room, great breakfast and really nice room, bathroom and common areas. Highly recommended!"

St Gotthard Hotel

8/10 Good

"The location of this hotel is excellent! Very close to the train station where our tours meet up point was a meters away. This hotel is not a 4.5 hotel though."

Hotel Limmathof

8/10 Good

"The staff was very friendly and the girls at the front desk spoke english very well. Don't get the breakfast buffet thru expedia as it is less expensive directly thru the front desk you just need to let them know before midnight. I was surprised when I saw the scrambled eggs and bacon. The eggs and bacon appeared under cooked BUT they weren't. And they were very good. They also had some fruit and cereals and bread and a toaster along with milk, water, orange juice and some other juice I didn't try. They would bring you coffee if requested. One disappointing thing was the coffee bar in the lobby. It's instant coffee. If your into hot tea they did have several kinds of tea bags available. The other is NO WASHCLOTHS in the bathroom. Apparently not uncommon though as our next stay was the same. Lastly no A/C but thats normal for Switzerland. A really nice thing was the close proximity to the train station. About a 5 minute walk. One other is that Starbucks is just 2 doors away and there are multiple small restaurants on the street with outside seating for when the weather is nice. Before I forget, there is a back entrance that is much easier to use when you have suitcases as the front entrance has stairs. If I were to go back to Zurich for another vacation I would stay there again."

Swimming pool was also perfect for the children. Breakfast variety wasn’t great but none the less everyone was fed."

When is the best time to go to Zurich?

The best time to visit Zurich is during the shoulder seasons of spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October) for pleasant weather and fewer crowds.In spring, the city's parks and gardens, such as the Lindenhof, burst into bloom, offering beautiful scenery for walks. The temperatures are mild, making it ideal for exploring the old town's cobbled streets and enjoying lakeside promenades without the peak summer heat. It's a great time for couples who enjoy leisurely strolls and outdoor dining.Autumn provides a similar experience with comfortable temperatures and the added beauty of changing foliage, especially visible along the Limmat River and around Lake Zurich. This period is superb for those who appreciate cultural events, as many museums and galleries launch new exhibitions. Solo travellers might find this a good time for a relaxed trip, enjoying the city's cultural offerings and cafes.While summer (June to August) offers the warmest weather and opportunities for swimming in the lake, it's also the busiest and most expensive time.
