2-Star Hotels in Zurich

The Limmathof was in the perfect location for me. It was less than four minutes’ walk to the main station, and steps from the trams (Central stop). I stayed in a single room with a single bed. It was adequate for my needs. The room also has a desk and chair and ample closet space. There is also a bathroom with shower. The hotel is very old fashioned. This is not a bad point unless you’re looking for mod comms. There is a power point where the tv is and one also under the bedside table. The rooms are very clean and there is maid service everyday. You can have breakfast if you want for extra money, although I didn’t partake. There is a luggage room, and restaurant inside the front door of the hotel. 24 hour main desk and Andreas was very helpful. The Coop supermarket is two minutes’ walk away which is very handy. I would definitely stay here again.

Nice hotel just outside the main area of Zurich. Room was a bit expensive considering it was small and had a shared bathroom. Maybe it was just Zurich prices, or the fact that Taylor Swift was in town and lots of places week booked up. Good tram system meant it was still easy to get around. Room was a bit hot at night and there was construction going on literally outside my window in the morning with the builders blaring their music in my window.

Located in city center. About 8min walk from Zurich HB to hotel, if you carry a lot heavy baggage, you can take tram from Zurich HB station to Central ( only 1 stop ) from there only 1-2 min walk to hotel, very convenient! Around the hotel there’s a lot shops and restaurants, only walking distance.

Easily accessible from Zurich airport. The location of the hotel is located near one of the main station Zurich Altstetten which can bring you around Switzerland. On top of that, it has tram and bus access nearby to Zurich old town as well. Hotel amenities are good and clean. It’s new as well. The breakfast are simple and nice too! The staffs are friendly and quite helpful when we ask for direction or tips. Overall, it’s a good place to stay for couple.

Location is 10/10 , it's right next to the Zurich HBF, there were plenty of dining options and several supermarkets nearby. You really couldn't find a fault with this place location wise, there's even a tram stop right infront. We were allowed to check in early by the receptionist but the room wasn't cleaned yet when we entered , but they sorted it out quickly by giving us another room

Nice hostel, much better than a regular hostel and gives more privacy. Also nice and cool in the dorm room. Vending machine takes card and receptionist was helpful. Though we were told we needed to scan our card to enter the room but the door just appeared unlocked so no sure how secure this is as we didnt need to scan. Perhaps at night once the receptionist leaves you need to scan then. Showers are nice and they supply towels and hair dryers. Only other thing was the slamming of doors, you think it would be common courtesy not to do this but it would appear not. Staff could possibly install something on the door to stop it slamming or some sort of silencer. Could also do with the house rules inside the capsule as some guests need reminded that they are sharing with others. Would stay here again.

It’s not as though I planned to stay long in Zurich, and in fact, we only needed a hotel for the first night of a longer trip. The Alexander Guesthouse and Hotel was convenient, centrally located in the old town, and just a walk from the Zurich HB (hauptbahnhoff, or central station). The location is the first point towards 5/5. Next is the service. Upon arriving, carrying at least one bag too many, I left my partner at a bench, while I went to check in. As I checked in with the front desk, they sent a man to collect her. He carried our bags (from around the corner, and down a block), and with a friendly smile, and great welcome brought our duffels and packs inside. The service was welcoming, and as they informed me that they’d given me an “upgrade” I was pleased to find our corner room on an upper floor, with a pleasant view of the small plaza below. An Alnatura grocer is situated right next to the hotel, which is also convenient. The area around the hotel is a pied a marché, where there are many shops, restaurants, and, as is the only real problem with Zurich, smokers. But the hotel is a winner. Relatively inexpensive, well situated, and staffed with excellent people.

Yes, there is no hiding the fact that the Krone Pop-up has gone to great lengths to keep their prices as low as possible, but for the most part it is a well-run and comfortable base for short stays. The rooms and communal lounge are inviting, stylish and well-kept. The building is many centuries old, and traces its various incarnations are visible in these areas, giving it a quirky character. The views across the river to the old town are also beautiful. A hotel in this price category so close to HB is obviously a rarity, let alone one with nice perks like this. The WiFi was incredibly fast and stable. Late check-in worked perfectly. The hotel has a slick system for online check-in and the key dispenser at the entrance worked without a hitch. The Assistant Manager was really helpful and welcoming by e-mail in advance. To be fair, my stay was on a Sunday night, so the cleaning frequency may have been lower than usual, but the communal toilets and showers were not in great shape. They clearly are not designed for how intensely they are used, nor are they cleaned often enough for it. There's nothing worse in a communal shower than a moist shower curtain and no space to avoid it. Add to that the hair, sticky residue and grubby towel on the floor, and suddenly the room price doesn't seem like such a bargain. The solution is so simple: a pile of fresh floor towels and basket for used ones, plus some Mr. Clean for self-service cleaning during unmanned hours. The Soeder toiletries were lovely though! Arriving late on a hot day also proved to be unlucky, because I arrived to an overheated, stuffy room with no time to let it cool down before going to bed. The adjacent bar really is loud, but not much of a hindrance to sleep because it seems to close early (some time around midnight, on Sunday at least). The facing building across the narrow alley is very close and looks directly into the room, limiting the privacy and therefore how open you can leave the windows to let fresh air in. So, all-in-all the sleep quality was just too low. The heat, noise and lack of privacy made for a restless night. I just needed a place to spend 7 hours between my flight arriving late at night and then my train departing early the next morning, and the Krone Pop-up was the pragmatic choice for that. I wouldn't consider it for work trips - the sleep quality isn't good enough - but it could be a sociable, good-value base for leisure trips during the week.

Prices in Switzerland are indeed very high, with house prices more than 200 yuan higher than in Germany, but there are refrigerators and very simple breakfast. Good location, very close to the train station, but there is a short step is not convenient for large luggage tourists, there is an elevator to praise. Room size is OK, can open a large suitcase. Clean, bathroom is small, but bath is OK.

It is really convenient to learn for the first time in this self-check-in and check-out method. The room is completely standardized, clean and digital service is very good!
