Hotels near Alfred Escher monument, Zurich

We stayed there for the first time. It was pretty easy to get there from airport terminal. Staff were wonderful and extremely friendly. Breakfast was really great with a lot of choices. If I want to recommend anything, I would say that I hope that they keep the restaurant open until midnight for late arrival.

The hotel is great and in a good location. There is supermarket near by and very convenient to go shopping. And the breakfast provided by the hotel is good and delicious. One thing is there is no air conditioner, it is a bit hot in summer. There is a Dyson fan but I think it is not enough in summer especially in the daytime. So far it is fine for all the experience.

This “apartment” was terrible. We were with friends there. On various floors, but the quality of the rooms was equally bad. The windows could not be opened. So it was very warm, what is not going on for people with asthma at all. Despite the ventilator that was on all day, it was estimated 26 degrees Celsius in the room. Due to the Indian Imbiss' you constantly smell Indian food. You can't be well lying on the double beds. What's worse is on the sleep a drawable sofa. On the walls is found partly make-up and also inexplicable prints. In the bathroom there was a lack of soap and cleanness of washing basins, toilet, Badroom and shower. The floor in the bathroom and the rest of the apartment was sticked. On the day of departure, you could stand badly (only to third) in the driving chair with 1 bag because bed linen and waste bags were in. No one should recommend!

Very nicely maintained hotel in a central location in Thun. Recently stayed a couple of nights in this location and found the hotel to be very well maintained, rooms were clean and less than ten minutes walk to the train station. Location made it quick to walk to train/ferry station to take a very enjoyable ferry ride ride on Lake Thun to then enjoy a day in Interlaken and then the train ride back. Staff that we encountered were great and very helpful answering questions. Highly recommend!

Good value in a great location. We walked from the train station. Enjoyed an excellent breakfast while watching pedestrians and cyclists making their way to work and school. The beds were comfortable, the shower was hot and strong. The young man who checked us in was 5 star. Definitely recommend.

H+ is a comfortable, modern, well designed hotel with what you basically need and expect. Staff is professional, friendly and helpful. The location is acceptable, not in city centre, therefore less costly compared to quality. Trams downtown are right outside. Overall we are satisfied. What we liked; • Nice comfortable, clean room with OK space (glad we chose the king size) • Nice bathroom with standard amenities • Very quiet with windows closed, You hear trams and traffic if you open towards street • Very good breakfast with excellent swiss products • OK if basic evening bar/snack service What we liked less; • Somewhat cumbersome wifi access (although it worked) • A broken toilet seat that pinched the behind (!) it was not fixed during our stay because we only compalined the last day; strange we had to report this ourselves, • A poor old TV/cable, where several channels like CNN mostly did not show or pixelized Other to note: • No fridge in room • Sunday there was a big local soccer match in the stadium across the street. Tram service was disrupted for over two hours around end of match. Hotel could have informed guests, we wasted much time and then more time + money on a cab • A sauna/wellness area is available, we did not try it. All in all we liked the arrival, welcome and first days better than the last ones.

This is a lovely hotel with great views and nice rooms. The reception staff are excellent. It is a shame though that the restaurant staff are a bit inflexible in a Swiss kind of way. There is a mix of customer service. If you deal with the normal staff there’s an ‘attitude’ like ‘we are doing you a favour being here’ After Covid-19 when the hospitality industry was shut down it surprises me that there is no consideration for customers who are staying at the hotel. The mood changes when the maitre’d comes out and deals with people at the entrance. It is smooth, no attitude. There is a problem in Switzerland with the standard of customer service. Maybe it needs Gordon Ramsay to visit to give your people a massive boot up the bum. Either take the comments below on-board. Or just stick with what you’ve always done.

We stayed for one night before our flight out of Zurich. It's located about 10-15 min walk from the Rümlang train station. There are not a lot of food options nearby. We only saw Mc Donald's and Subway. The on-site restaurant was good, but the menu was limited. We stayed in a family room, which was basically two connecting rooms, one with a double bed and one with two twin beds. The rooms were modern and had great showers, great blackout blinds/curtains, very comfortable beds, and supportive pillows. They offer scheduled shuttle to the airport for 6 CHF per person, but it was cheaper and more convenient for us to call an Uber.

We stayed at this Novotel in Zurich, the Novotel in Munich and the Novotel in Geneva. This Novotel was definitely not as good as the others. The location is fine - it's well connected to public transport (it is located in the business technology park). We had booked nearly nine months in advance and asked for two rooms near each other (we were travelling as a family). We were given two rooms on separate floors at opposite ends of the hotel. It was literally the most far apart that the rooms could be. Reception on check in said that they would change it, then kept me waiting for 45 minutes while they tried to do so. I gave up at the 45 minute mark and just took the rooms that had been initially allocated. The initial person on check in did try and be helpful and gave a good restaurant recommendation. The other person on reception really was not helpful - in the end one of his colleagues stepped in to assist as I think she could see that he was being very unhelpful. Reception was often busy with queues (the reception area is not large enough for the size of the hotel). We were clearly tourist visitors to the city, and no-one in reception advised us on check-in that there was a huge festival in the city taking place (attracts 2 million visitors to Zurich) that was affecting all public transport plus restaurant availability etc. The rooms and the pool were fine. The breakfast at this hotel was very, very average, particularly the hot food items. The breakfast compared very unfavourably to those offered by the Novotel hotels in Geneva and Munich. Check out took a long time, and there did not seem to be a place to drop keys. The staff have very casual uniforms (pants and polo shirt) which also contributes to the whole feel of the hotel seeming like a lower standard. Hopefully Novotel can look at this hotel and try and improve the standard so it is of a similar standard to its other locations. (Novotel Munich in particular was so much better!)

Stayed in Zwiback for about a month when moved to work at Empa (and also for 2 nights in winter). It was a very good experience for both a short and long stay. The hotel is 5-10 minutes of walking from Empa and Eawag, and is very close to the 12 tram station (which takes you for ~20 min to the airport, 5 minutes to Stettbach railway station, from which you can take a train to Zurich center- just two stations). The hotel is combined with a bistro, where the hotel guests have their breakfast and also where the staff office is located. The hotel rooms are in a separate wing of the Zwiback multi-apartment building complex. The room was clean, spacious, had a balcony and also had a small fridge. [Having s small kettle in the room would make a difference, especially for colder season stays- my recommendation for the staff as a possible enhancement.] I stayed at the 5th floor, so that I had an amazing view to the mountains at a far sight. The hotel staff is very-very kind and helpful. Especially I would like to mention Daniela, Miriam and Melanie, who are absolutely amazing!!!
