CSI Zürich - Feb

Advantages: Compact friendly city
Disadvantages: None

...Just give me three good reasons to go to Zürich. No litter, no graffiti, no children. ‘Nuff said? I hope not! Zürich is a place that greatly rewards you for a little research either by getting a guide to the city before you go or, the method I chose, repeated visits to the city where you build up your own feel for the place. I was living relatively nearby in Böblingen, Baden-Würtemburg in the Southwest of Germany about two hours by car. I believe it is better to discover places for yourself rather than following the well-trodden path. So, in a sense I am ruining that opportunity for you. But if you don’t have the option to travel there often then this may be of help to some for you first or only visit so you don’t miss the must see sights. If you don’t speak German not to worry neither do the people in Zürich. A little... Read review

Advantages: Exciting City, Great Food, Close to Slopes
Disadvantages: Um....

...WHY ZURICH? Ah, well… I lived in Zurich more than ten years ago, and as a student, which has obviously coloured my impressions of the place, possibly in more ways than one… For the purposes of this review, however, this means firstly that if you're looking for accounts of its most luxurious hotels, its Michelin-starred restaurants, or for gushing tales of sprees along the gilded collection of Haute Couturiers and jewellers that constitutes the celebrated Bahnhofstrasse… my advice would probably be to read no further.

ANARCHY & SWISS FRANKS: I first arrived in Zurich as a naive seventeen year old. It was 1992. Smells Like Teen Spirit had just come out, and the youth of Zurich were in the throes... Read review

Advantages: specious and bright room, modern decor, nicely furnished
Disadvantages: bathroom is too small

...We stayed in this hotel for two nights on our weekend trip to Zurich. This is a decent hotel. Our double bed room was specious and bright and was decorated in modern contemporary style. The neutral décor and dark wooden floor made the room look very stylish. Apart from the specious double bed, the room was furnished with sofa, glass top table, big wardrobe and safe deposit box. The hotel is in main road and the tram stop is just opposite the hotel. We reached Zurich by BA flight and then took train from the airport to the central station. We finally reached the hotel by tram from the central station. The train and trams are very frequent and the journeys are short and hence reaching the hotel from the airport is easy and hassle free. The main disadvantage with the room was the bathroom. It was very small, though clean... Read review
