Convenient location near to the central bus station. The hotel room was comfortable. Good kebab restaurant next to the hotel. Was great for an overnight stay.

Clean hotel, perfect location, nice staff. Price performance hotel
Service was excellent, both friendly and accurate. The hotel is very well located especially if you are traveling by rail. As you would expect, the rooms are on the smaller size and slightly dated, but perfectly fine for a 2 to 3 night stay.
All you need for a stay downtown Zurich. The rooms are older but very clean and provide everything you need.
The folks at the reception are super nice. Location is fantastic, literally a 2 min walk from the main station.

Close to everything - museums, restaurants, train etc.
Very friendly and accommodating staff. The fellow at the front desk was very friendly and always greeted us as we came and went. The housekeeper lady was very friendly and took care of our laundry in record time and with great care. Couldn’t recommend this place more.
The hotel staff were very kind and helpful. The room was quite spacious but a bit outdated. The location of the hotel is a quick 6-7 minute walk to the main train station. There is a nice cafe right next door. We would stay again for sure.
This little property was amazing. The hotel is old, but well kept. The room was small, but very comfortable, clean and quiet. Located less than 10 min walking from Zurich main train station and only 15 min walking from the old town. The front desk people were very helpful and friendly. There is a great cafe restaurant next door for breakfast or lunch.
Hotel Arlette is a small but clean hotel, perfect for a short stay in Zürich. The location is excellent—just steps from the main train station, making it very convenient to explore the city and travel around Switzerland.
Very close to train station. Hotel contracts with cafe next door to take care of breakfast. Very good food,but limited options. But we enjoyed it.

Location is perfect for Zurich visit. The room was clean but a bit old. At night room was a bit cool(cold) but not a big problem. A perfect cost-benefit place.
