Hotel Schweizerhof, Zurich

Advantages: Polite Staff, Comfortable
Disadvantages: Not in a very accessable area.

...Ibis has always been my choice of hotel when it comes to economy sleeping or even if i'm just at one place for a few hours. I was here on the winter of 2007 when i went to zurich for a holiday and stayed in Ibis when i was about to return back home. The location is not really easy to find and it is hard if you are not driving. Although it was just for a night, i felt very comfortable. The staff was really nice and polite. As for the rooms, i wouldn't say that i have much to complain about since it's just a 2 star hotel. It has all of the basic necessities needed. But most important was that both the room and the bathroom were clean. If you are someone who drives, they have a covered carpark and it's safe. The price for a room is acceptable.... 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 and tidy... Read review

Advantages: Beautiful scenery; great pubs; delicious food; mountains; like-minded souls.
Disadvantages: Expensive

...Schweizerhof on the Promenade and couldn't believe my luck: the hotel was gorgeous; I had a nice little apartment upstairs with all the facilities; the work was fun and if I got bored during the long night I could sneak into the indoor pool for a dip, or nip upstairs to watch MTV long into the morning, keeping a close eye on the hotel with my mobile phone and pager, which were connected up to the switchboard and front door respectively; and more importantly, I got plenty of time off to enjoy with the other English-speakers there! I met around seven other English-speaking people, all working in the resort as waitresses, waiters and porters, most of them from the United Kingdom and Ireland, and we had a whale of a time for the three months we were there. The holiday fever took us by storm and we danced, drank, laughed and had wild relationships... Read review
