Hotels in Zürich West, Zurich

We arrived a day early for our tour and didn’t think our room would be available yet, but the front staff asked for 15 minutes to check with house keeping. We lucked out and our rooms were available early. 300ish room courtyard side which is only one floor up. Bit of noise from the other side of the hotel due to construction, but not noticeable in our room. Great air con or use the large windows. Shower very hot so you don’t need to set it too high. Bit more modern than my taste, but grows on you and not garish colours. Easy tram ride to the old town for site seeing or take a stroll along the river beside the part. Wonderful gardens. Breakfast is plentiful and can be chaos in the morning when there are three groups in the hotel. Suggestion: Move the centre aisle of tables half a foot to the left so the the aisle on the right when you face the food is a bit larger. Use the first table on the right for the bowls and plates. Helps out those that are shorter. The people flow is better when it is right to left since the coffee machines are on the left. We did this flow the last day in the hotel with our group and it was less congested at the coffee.

My work brings me to Zürich many times each year, often several times each month. And my company usually books us at this property. I’ve probably spent more than 50 nights at this Marriott property over the last several years. I used to enjoy my stays here, but the hotel seems to be getting worn down, and is now overrun with cruise and bus tour customers, which can often overwhelm the staff. and leave the rest of their guests with lengthy waits for assistance. Normally, Renaissance properties are among my favorite Marriott brands, and one of my “go-to” hotels when traveling for pleasure, but this hotel has seen better days. The rooms are spartan and dull, the decor is dated, and they REALLY need to upgrade their bedding and mattresses. As a Lifetime BonVoy Platinum Elite member, I am entitled to Club lounge access, free breakfast, and room upgrades, among other perks. Their new SkyLounge is an improvement, but isn’t very inviting and their beverage/snack options need improvement. The breakfast buffet is more what you’d expect to find at a budget-brand hotel, with uninspired food, bad coffee and overall pretty tasteless. Thankfully it’s free, as I wouldn’t pay for it (and the isolated location doesn’t provide many alternatives). The staff try their best to be polite, but are often overwhelmed and exhausted by the tour groups. And they can be a bit surly at times. If you have a choice, stay elsewhere. You can get much better accommodations/service for the price.

Sympathisches , modernes Hotel mit sehr freundlichem Personal. ( besonders Frau Preyer am Empfang) . Wir hatten einen Upgrade für eine Junior Suite im 6. Stock mit tollen , riesigen Fenstern, einem großen Bad mit Badewanne, Toilette getrennt, Ankleideraum und viiiel Platz! Die Lounge ist supergemütlich im 10.Stock mit guter Getränkeauswahl . Snacks waren immer vorhanden und das Essen das serviert wurde war reichlich und gut! Wir hatten die Wahl 1000 Punkte oder Frühstück im großen Frühstücksraum einzunehmen und haben uns für das superleckere Frühstück entschieden. Das Personal war schnell und umsichtig und meine Eggs Benedikt waren perfekt! Das Hotel liegt etwas außerhalb aber die S-Bahn Station ist gleich gegenüber. Das 24h Ticket kostet etwa 8 € und gilt auch für das öffentliche Boot auf dem See und Fluss. Empfehlenswertes, sympathisches Haus! Gerne wieder!

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.

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!)

Although not in the urban area near the train station. But it takes 10 minutes to take the tram to the train station gate. Zurich is small. Urban rooms are mostly small. Very satisfied with this hotel. Heating, MINIBAR, breakfast are good. The room is facing the street but not noisy at all.

When traveling to European cities, we have found that being close to the main rail station is a must for us. This hotel is NOT near that main station, but is just a few blocks from the Hardbrucke Station, and within a block of the Schiffbau Tram Stop. Once we figured this out, we found it pretty easy to use the #4 Tram to get from this place to the major tourist sites of Zurich. If arriving at the Zurich Airport, the best way to get to the Hardbrucke Station is to use S-Bahn #16, that goes directly between these two places. If arriving in Zurich by train or bus, there are about a dozen S-Bahn trains going from the main station & Hardbrucke. Once at the latter, exit the station near the Hitzberger & the BretzelKoenig, walking underneath the raised highway towards Schiffbaustrasse. Turn left when you see the Schiffbau theater, and you'll soon be at the Ibis. This area is a former industrial area that has been turned into a residential / entertainment area. Thus, there is a grey grimness to the neighborhood, despite being close to several restaurants, two supermarkets, and a few places for entertainment. Wander around for a few minutes, and you'll find most everything you'll need to enjoy your stay. Ibis hotels are generally minimal amenities for a lower price, and this one is no exception. Our room had a half-bath, phone, hair-dryer, free wifi, and TV with over 100 channels -- about 21 in English. It was clean, quiet, and well-maintained. Staff was efficient & professional. An onsite restaurant will serve a breakfast buffet for a price. Although many cities in Switzerland provide free transit passes to guests who stay in local lodging, Zurich is not one of these. You can use the Swiss Travel Pass or the Zurich Card to ride the trams to tourist sites, or just buy tickets or day passes at the vending machines at the stops. If you don't mind riding a tram to & from the tourists stops, this Ibis can be a more economical choice for your stay in Zurich.

The hotel is located really close to the main station which is super convinient and also there are trams stops close by. So in terms of location it was great! just service of the staff are not too great. started off with really intimidating and rude front desk receptionist during check in. He was really rude and did not want to answer questions when we wanted to ask something and when we first arrivdd he just yelled at us to just wait even though we were just standing and waiting. The daily room cleaning staff was also just throwing our personal things around and not really helping put it back . so overall service wasnt too great and rooms were really small but convinient location

The hotel is a little away from the center (15~20 min by tram), plus 4min walk to the station. The check-in was quick, although in proper Swiss fashion the check-in time is only at 3pm. Fortunately, we were allowed to move in earlier. The room is big enough, but if you have big suitcases it'll be a bit tight. The staff is courteous and helpful, and try to accommodate if they can. The breakfast selection isn't too wide, but it's well arranged and has most of what you'd expect. There's a proper gym (exceedingly rare) with enough equipment to satisfy all but the pros. However, it does get a bit busy at times. They also have a decent swimming pool. There's a workstation with a printer next to the reception that guests can use for free - perfect if you need to print out tickets. They were happy to hold our baggage after we moved out until our flight in the evening - much appreciated. We paid about 125CHF a night for a standard room for two including breakfast, which is a good deal in Zurich. All things considered, there's very little to complain about. We had an excellent stay, and would love to stay there again.

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.
