Top Rapperswil Hotel Reviews

Hotel Schweizerhof Zürich

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice "

Radisson Hotel & Suites Zurich

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was very good, which is what you would expect from the Radisson name. The only small issue was some confusion about the airport transfer. Since there are two Radisson hotels located relatively close to the airport, both or neither should offer an airport transfer. Unfortunately, only one does, and I ended up taking the transfer to the wrong hotel."

Acasa Suites Zurich Oerlikon

10/10 Excellent

"They could be a little more accommodating with the small things. Like complimentary detergent for those who need to clean their clothes. But then again it’s Zürich. Also I did an early checkout but they charged me an additional fee which I didn’t like but whatever. Felt very safe. Very close to bus, tram and train stations. Made getting around very easy. It’s literally 1-2 stops from Zurich Hauptbahnhof. "

DORMERO Hotel Zürich Airport

10/10 Excellent

"the included breakfast was good and the staff went out of their way to ensure that buffet items were available during the breakfast hours. the room was comfortable and clean, the bar fridge in the room was stocked with soda, juice and water each day. on thing to remember about Europe not all hotels have AC but a fan was provided."
