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.

Residence Mutschellen

My family and I had an absolutely delightful 10-day stay at Residence Mutschellen. My sister and I shared a twin room, while our parents stayed in a separate one—both were cozy, spotlessly clean every day, and came with tea and coffee supplies, which was a nice touch. The compact kitchenette in each room, complete with a fridge and freezer, made cooking our own meals easy and budget-friendly—definitely saved us a lot on dining out. We even enjoyed a few meals outdoors in the small garden area, which added to the relaxed vibe. The sauna was a real highlight—perfect for unwinding after a long day of exploring. Location-wise, it’s excellent: just a 15-minute walk to the lake and swimming spots, about 10 minutes to a local supermarket, and both the Brunau train station (less than 5 minutes away) and a bus stop right outside the hotel make getting around Zurich super convenient. We were actually in town for the Euros, and it was fun to learn that one of the staff members is a fan of England—great conversation starter! Everyone at the property was warm, helpful, and genuinely friendly. If you're looking for a comfortable, well-located, and homely stay in Zurich, this place is a top recommendation.

City Stay - Forchstrasse

I was really happy with my stay at this place. The location is excellent—just a short walk from the city center and super easy to get around by public transit. The room was spotless, the bed was incredibly comfortable, and I loved having a small balcony to enjoy a morning coffee or unwind in the evening. Everything you’d need for a short trip was included—kitchenette, fridge, microwave, and even good Wi-Fi. One thing to note: parking in the underground garage needs to be arranged and paid for separately, so it’s not part of the base rate. That said, it’s a minor detail considering how well the whole package comes together. Great value, great vibe, and definitely a place I’d recommend to travelers looking for comfort and convenience without the hassle.
