Top Urania Observatory Hotel Reviews

Saint Georges Hotel

8/10 Good

"Superb location and staff, only one small issue. Everything very clean but nice shower room wasn’t."

Ruby Mimi Hotel Zurich by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location for visiting Zurich, which is a charming city"

Hotel Alexander

8/10 Good

"Great location close to transport and amenities. Great shopping location. Only fault would be you had to carry heavy bags up a flight of stairs before you got to the lift. Then the lift was extremely small."

Hotel Scheuble

10/10 Excellent

"I had a really nice solo stay here. It’s in a great area and the room is clean with everything I needed. I read some reviews about the rooms being warm but I stayed during a heatwave and did not find the room too warm at all despite not having AC (I had been worried about this). The staff were also exceptionally friendly and helpful"

St Gotthard Hotel

"Nice, clean hotel, with friendly staff. Convenient location."

Boutique Hotel Wellenberg
