Novotel Zurich City West

The hotel is conveniently located just a short ride from downtown Zurich, making it easy to explore the city without spending too much time commuting. The room was spacious and comfortable, offering a great stay overall. My only minor disappointment was leaving behind a blue hoodie in the fitness center—unfortunately, it wasn’t found. That said, this small issue didn’t take away from the excellent experience. With its great location, clean rooms, and friendly staff, I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to travelers looking for a quiet yet central base in Zurich.

Aparthotel Adagio Zurich City Center

The location is absolutely perfect—just a 5-minute walk to the main train station, which makes getting around so convenient. Right next to the station is a Coop supermarket where we picked up groceries and cooked our own meals. The apartment came with a fridge, microwave, and kettle—all very practical. I didn’t quite figure out how to use the induction cooktop, so I brought my own electric pot instead. The microwave, however, was a lifesaver—perfect for roasting sweet potatoes that turned out incredibly delicious! We arrived from the bus terminal and took a shortcut through the Marriott hotel area, which made the walk much quicker. Bonus points for the front desk staff speaking Chinese—great for communication and added peace of mind. Overall, this place offers amazing value and comfort, making it a top pick for travelers who want convenience without the hassle.
