Good location and price for the time we went, breakfast was nice and they make your morning drinks for you and it’s nice. Only thing is starts to feel a bit repetitive so last day we got brunch.

Has no AC so was quite hot at night but given fans.

Hotel is clean esp the bathroom.

Coop right outside which helps, tram station right outside and 20 mins into centre of Zurich.

Waterfountain also right outside didn’t need to pay for water the whole trip which was great considering 500ml is 4.80 CHF

We stayed here one night for a layover in Zurich before moving further east. We drove from Zurich airport and found the hotel very easily with plenty of parking around the back. The hotel is basic, but exactly what I would expect from a 3-star. There was no air conditioning but our room did have a fan which was fine. Our room faced onto the square, but had two sets of windows so blocked out all noise which was nice. Plenty of eating options around, and not far from the city centre by car. There was also a tram/bus stop right outside, but we didn't use it.

Horrible hotel. Low ceilings on the third floor and the two windows in the room were 6 inches by 6 inches (felt like prison rooms). No air flow since they don’t have air condition. The room was very hot and couldn’t sleep the whole night. The area was not the best and full of low income housing/individuals who were noisy at night. First time in Zurich and learned my lesson, wasted time and money. Did not enjoy it at all.

The room was super small. We felt like were we tripping over each other and our luggage. The bathroom smelt mouldy. And the worst was the church bells!!!!! Every hour! Sometimes for 15 minutes straight! Just horrible. Had we known that we would have never stayed there. They should give their guest a heads up. It was loud and annoying. We couldn’t sleep before midnight or last 6 am cause the bells would start at 6am and end at midnight. Ridiculous

Good Value - a little far from City Center.

Very clean, modern hotel in the northwestern part of Zurich city. Located in a nice shopping plaza & close to a café, grocery stores, post office and church bells (which remained quiet through the night). Rooms were European small - small difficulties maneuvering with a 6'6\" husband. Beds were super soft which didn't suit us but the room was immaculate. We had a car so getting around Zurich was no problem for us.

Receptionists were welcoming and friendly, especially the lady wearing the scarf and the Asian looking young girl. However, I paid for a Queen bed and we slept clearly in a small double. Slightly disappointing plus the room has no air conditioning and the windows do not open fully. What’s also not mentioned is that there is a church at the back which chimes every 15mins, even through the night: If you’re a light sleeper then this is not the hotel for you. Transportation into Zürich centre is easy, the tram stop number 2 is literally outside and takes about 18mins! Overall, a pleasant stay.

Good value hotel but very noisy and uncomfortable

Room was basic but condition and clean for a 3 star. However the pillows were terrible and the mattress soft and concave in shape and very soft. No air con as can be expected but the room was so hot you needed to have window open to sleep, if only the church bell wasn’t going off every 15 minutes day and night. To top this off following the live music which you couldn’t here from the room, when loading all the equipment in car park behind us it sounded like drunks were rolling bins down the road for 50 minutes whilst laughing and being very loud between 12-45 and 1.30am The phone did not connect to reception and I had to go down and speak to reception in person to be told it is what it is and it will stop soon, not we will go speak to them and ask them to be quiet whilst rolling the equipment. I was told to speak to reception in the morning and they would sort me out. In the morning I spoke to a junior the only person on who told me all she could other me was free breakfast for my trouble and there was no one to talk to at the time in person or on the phone. The breakfast on the first day was a shambles with no plates or cutlery, no communication between the staff with every request coming across as an inconvenience. The second day made up for this but still average. The bathroom extract did not work which wasn’t particularly pleasant.

This is 40m away from a church which rings an extremely loud bell every hour, then a lighter bell every 10 minutes. Midnight, 4 light bells to prepare you for 12 extremely strong BAAANGGGGGs that make everything resonate. 1AM a strong bell, 1:10 a small bell, 1:20 another, 1:30 another... 4AM 4 strong bells, and so on.

But at 7AM is different, there are 2 minutes of continuous bells, 2 bells per second, to wake up the whole neighborhood.
And your room is 40m from that bell.

Couldn't sleep a second.

A few days in Zurich

The hotel was perfectly located for my needs. I had access to basic shopping nearby and proximity to trams for easy access to central Zurich and ZurchHB.The room was quite hot - there is no air conditioning but a fan was available. My single room was a good size, but some single rooms here are very small. Generally you would only want to use the room as a place to sleep, and a base to get out and about. But then that's what Switzerland is all about.

Like most hotels in Zurich, the hotel is not air-conditioned and, since I arrived at the start of a heat wave, it was quite warm. The hotel provided a free fan and since I was only in the hotel in the evening to sleep, it was not a problem. When the weather cooled off, it was again a comfortable temperature.
The hotel room was just what I wanted.

Beautiful hotel

This hotel had lovely staff, excellent adjacent restaurant and lovely rooms unfortunately it was the middle of a heatwave (30-35 degrees Celsius) in Switzerland whilst we were there and there was no airconditioning. Also the church bells chime outside the room every 15 minutes from 7am til midnight. The hotel staff explained that it was only in the last year that they even got the church to stop for these hours! They did provide earplugs as we needed the window open as it was so hot! Would definitely stay again in cooler weather.

Une climatisation aurait été bienvenue par ces chaleurs... Surtout pour un best western, c'est une chose à faire avec l'évacuation sur le toit qui permet de chauffer en hiver et de climatiser en été...
