The place is perfectly located next to the terminal with short distance walking to Old Town and New Town. Melanie at the front was extremely helpful and nice.
The rooms were very clean, staffs were so friendly, helpful and accommodating. The location was perfect, very close to the Zurich HB train station, restaurants and the old town. I’m so glad that there’s free tea and coffee downstairs with a nice coffee machine. Highly recommended.
Excellent place to stay if you are flying into Zürich and then going to the train station Zürich HBB. The staff is very friendly and we was able to store our luggage until check-in time. Staff also allowed us to store bags on the day we left since our train was leaving after checkout. Food is expensive in Zürich and the breakfast was an excellent value.
We absolutely loved our stay at the Fred Hotel! The location was perfect for everything we needed while visiting Zurich. We took three tours during our stay, and all of them met just across the street, about a one-minute walk from the hotel’s bus pickup location. Even better, we arrived by train, and the hotel was less than a five-minute walk from the train station! There were plenty of shopping and dining options nearby, especially inside the train station, making everything incredibly convenient. Our room was clean, quiet, comfortable, and felt safe. Best of all, the price point made this an incredible value for our money! We couldn’t have asked for a better location or a more convenient place to stay while exploring Zurich. We would absolutely recommend the Fred Hotel to anyone visiting the city!
The apartment was clean and the location couldn't be better—just steps away from the train station, which made getting around extremely convenient. The staff were also very friendly and helpful when we checking in. The only downsides were that it was a bit noisy outside due to the central location, and the room got warm without AC. Overall, a great and convenient place to stay!

We were very frustrated with the check in process as we are not young. We finally figured out how to find a person and we went to the other building and found her. I think her name was Melani and she turned the situation around as we were tired and just wante to check in. She was awesone and helped us with the phone app and was very friendly and made us feel good and laugh with her jokes. Excellent employee!
Very convenient location close to train station; staff is very helpful; rooms are very clean; common area with free coffee and cold water.
The only downside is the fan is too small which cannot adequately cool the space especially during warm weather
This room was the most reasonably priced place we could find near the train station. It was clean and the bed was comfortable. The glass walls for the bathroom were a little awkward but not a dealbreaker!
This place has a very convenient location just a few minutes walk from the main train station and near several tram stops. It's on a quiet street, and though the single room is quite small, it fit my needs. The entry system is easy once you get the hang of it (you have to wait a bit for the doors to unlock), but there was someone available to help me open the outer door when I arrived. The guest house is also right around the corner from the hotel, where the breakfast is, but there is free coffee and tea on the ground floor. I will be staying here again when I return to Zurich.
Very convenient location close to the Zurich station. Nice rooms comfortable stay. However, I had booked online and reached the guest house building just before my check in. The door is locked so I enquired in their office next door. The lady was not co-operative or even willing to listen to me. She pointed me in the direction of the main hotel building where I went. The staff there was very helpful and apologetic for my experience. They even gave me an upgrade. The check in for the guest house building (not the main hotel by the Starbucks) need to be improved to avoid confusion and inconvenience for the visitors. I will stay in the main hotel next time.
