Top Old Town Zürich Hotel Reviews

Hotel Marta - 1950’s architecture in Zurich’s vibrant old town, near main station

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, friendly staff, comfortable rooms"

Arlette Am Hauptbahnhof Hotel

8/10 Good

"Arlette is in good condition for the price. Is Ok ! One important problem,,,,NO BREAKFAST. They send you to a cafeteria close, outside the hotel. Thinking the hotel have to bring you a NORMAL BREAKFAST. But, in spite of that, is good to be there. Having reception from 08:00 to 20:00 but you're able to open the front door to come into your room."

Boutique Hotel Wellenberg

8/10 Good

"This hotel is currently being renovated. Onside of the hotel on one side has tarps and scaffolding, preventing a clear outlook to the outside. Windows cannot be opened. The hotel has provided a good and fairly quiet air conditioner in each room, so rooms are comfortable. After a few nights we moved to another side of the hotel without scaffolding and staff was very helpful in arranging this. There is some street noise from restaurants on one side of the hotel but this disappears by 11;00 pm. The hotel provides an included and excellent breakfast each day. Staff is very helpful throughout the hotel. The location is excellent with good restaurants, beautiful buildings along the river walk and beautiful upscale shopping close by. Zurich is a pretty city and this hotel is very well situated. We enjoyed our stay at Hotel Wellenberg and it will be even better once the renovation is complete. I would stay there again."
