Best Western Plus Hotel Zürcherhof

“Loved everything about this place!”

I think this has become my new favourite hotel! It's motto 'cosy city hotel' couldn't be more true. While the building is very 'old Europe', the room we had was modernly equipped and efficiently laid out. (But there is a charming old style elevator which I loved.)

I think this has become my new favourite hotel! It's motto 'cosy city hotel' couldn't be more true. While the building is very 'old Europe', the room we had was modernly equipped and efficiently laid out. (But there is a charming old style elevator which I loved.) The hotel is less than a 10 minute walk to the Zurich train station and handy to river cruises, lake cruises, museums, grocery and retail stores. Our room had one king bed and overlookeda cobblestone alley with a library across the way. I loved opening the window (complete with window seat) and listening to the church bells tolling each evening. The hotel was very quiet at night and other than being awake from jet lag at times, we slept very well. The architecture in the neighbourhood is old and amazing - we are from Western Canada and nothing we have can compare to the age of some of these buildjngs. Breakfast has many choices and you can actually 'order' eggs cooked the way you like them or choose what ingredients you would like in an omelet. Everything was delicious! The room where breakfast is served is stunning - concrete walls and arched ceiling decorated with white grapes and vines in places, old leaded glass windows with coats of arms in them - I noticed something I had missed each morning. And the hotel staff were all very welcoming, polite and helpful (even when they told me I wouldn't be getting any Best Western Rewards points because our travel agent had booked via a 3rd party instead of on the Best Western website. Even that sad news didn't dampen my excitement at staying in such an all around lovely hotel ! It was a great start to our time in Switzerland.

“Good 2 night stay in the middle of Old Town”

The hotel is in a great location in Old Town with lots of restaurants and bars close by. Our room was small but nice and clean - you may opt to skip a daily room clean for a small bottle of wine. This was perfect for our 2 night stay. The room got a little warm at night (even with the heating … more

The hotel is in a great location in Old Town with lots of restaurants and bars close by. Our room was small but nice and clean - you may opt to skip a daily room clean for a small bottle of wine. This was perfect for our 2 night stay. The room got a little warm at night (even with the heating turned down) and we slept with the window open even though it was February - this was fine as there was no noise from outside the hotel. There is nice spread at breakfast and they even serve complimentary Prosecco if you like a tipple in the morning. Tip: we walked from Zurich main station and the slope/hill en route is not very easy with big luggage.

I stayed in the Best Western Plus Hotel Zucherhof for 3 nights last month. The hotel is ideally located in the old town. The main train station is only around 500m away. Various sights, including the Fraumuster and the Grossmunster, are within walking distance. There’re dining options of all budgets in the neighbourhood. I’d an urban double room which was quite spacious for 1 person. It’s clean with the modern amenities I needed. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was of a decent size. The sound insulation was reasonably good. Even if my room was facing the street, I only heard little noise at night. The room rate included breakfast. While it’s by no means sumptuous, there’s a sufficient selection of food. I’ve been to Zurich many times. I don’t know if the street which the hotel is located has become a red light district. When I was on my way back to the hotel after dinner, I saw some prostitutes outside the hotel. They tried to talk to me but they’re neither aggressive nor harassing. It wasn’t an issue for me but may be a problem for other visitors. Considering the price I paid and the price level in Zurich, it’s value for money.
