Hotels in District 1-Altstadt, Zurich

A great boutique hotel in old town Zurich. 6 minute walk from Zurich HB train station after our flight into Zurich. Front desk staff Sam was extremely helpful and very polite, spoke English very well. Very clean hotel completely updated and this location is AAA for restaurants and bars, and is also quiet for a great nights sleep. Breakfast was ample to start our day. Coffee was great and a good selection of meats, cheeses, cereal and juice. The chocolate fondue machine at the entrance was really neat!

The hotel is brand new, and everything appears to be freshly designed. The room, lobby, and other facilities boast modernized decorations. The reception staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. Although our stay was only for a day as we transited to Paris, it was a fantastic experience at this hotel.

My wife and I recently spent a weekend in Zurich, we looked at a few hotels and picked the Sorrel Hotel Rutli , the price was reasonable for Zurich and had breakfast included, we had room 410 which was near the lift but we never heard it the room was basic enough but enough for what we needed. The hotel is positioned well being a short walk from the main train station and on a street with lots of eating and drinking places. We flew with Swiss Air, the flight was delayed by 40 mins on the way out and 30 on the way back, we also noticed that the baggage size was not adhered to and a lot of people had oversize bags which they struggled to fit into the overhead lockers. While we were there we took a trip to Rapperswil- Jona, we took the ferry down and got the train back. Rapperswil is a lovely town to visit and spend a couple of hours exploring, we took in the castle and the church of St Johan and the medieval streets. We also took a trip to Lucerne by train unfortunately the weather was poor for the first part of our visit but we didnt let that put us off sightseeing as we saw a lot of the old town and managed to climb the city walls and have a good walk along and climb the Museggmauer tower, we also got a nice soup and coffee in the Heini Conditorei near the train station. On Easter Sunday we went to Paddy Reillys pub and had the roast sunday dinner which was nice and the staff were nice and friendly. We also had a nice meal in an Italian restaurant on Zahringerstrasse, I cant remember the name but it used to be called Antico and had recently reopened after having new owners where we were served by a very nice young Italian girl. Where the hotel is there was a lot of works going on on both Zahringerstrasse and Niederdorfstrasse in that they seemed to be recobbling the cobbled streets. Zurich is a lovely city with a beautiful medieval area and is very clean but can also be very expensive, we were lucky when we visited the Kunsthaus museum that it was free entry on that day for the collection.

We stayed here for 2 nights for the Coldplay concert and it was the perfect Zurich hotel. Super central, great rooms, great restaurants, great breakfast and great staff. Special mention to Peter and Gribo who looked after us very well on our first night at dinner and to Filippo who absolutely spoilt us with his very kind and attentive service when we got back from the concert and thought the bar and restaurant were shut, Filippo rescued our night! Will certainly return very soon.

The public areas of the hotel are nicely decorated and modern. No problem, hotel service is also good, the only one does not have its own parking lot, can only park by the roadside, but also a real estate The common room is a bit small, and the room is relatively simple. But the price is high in Zurich recommend

Great and easy check in. Watt and Derrick were very helpful with the check in and info about Zurich. Loved the complimentary drinks at check in. Compact room but very modern with cool amenities. Loved the big and soft towels. Found the hidden hair dryer in a cute pouch. Water pressure in the shower was just right. They also stored our luggage for an extra day. Enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back to this hotel.

Lovely welcome and stay at Hotel St. Gotthard, Our rooms were well appointed with the most comfortable and cozy bedding! Tall ceilings and lots of room for giant suitcaes. Zaour at the Front Desk went above and beyond to help us with massage reservations and dinner suggestions. He was kind and patient and everything you would hope from a lovely hotel. Just up the street from the train station, the location was just perfect. We stayed 2 nights in September of 2022 and will definitely be back! Thank you!

Friendly and clean. Good for a night's stay before leaving the airport and heading to another city. Breakfast I really liked. There are no fancy dishes, but the food is simple and fresh, so even my mom said it was good. There is a noise problem between the rooms, but I don't know if I pass out and fall asleep. I recommend it because the location is so good.

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.

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.
