Alma Hotel

Staying at Alma Hotel felt like coming home, even though I was far from it. From the moment I walked in, the warmth and thoughtfulness of the space were immediately apparent—the reception area is cozy with inviting nooks perfect for sipping tea or coffee, which are kindly included as part of the welcome. My room was spacious, comfortable, and impeccably clean, with a bathroom that felt luxurious and well-maintained. The rooftop terrace is a real highlight—perfect for relaxing with a drink while enjoying views of Zurich’s skyline. I also appreciated the guest kitchen, which made self-catering easy and convenient. What truly sets this place apart is the wellness area exclusively for women—peaceful, private, and thoughtfully designed. The staff, all women, were consistently kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in ensuring a memorable stay. They went out of their way to make each guest feel seen and valued. A couple of small notes: there’s no air conditioning, so guests looking for cooling should plan accordingly, and while the rooms are quiet overall, some internal sounds (like footsteps from upstairs) can be noticeable. But these minor points don’t take away from the overall experience. Alma isn’t just a hotel—it’s a sanctuary. If you’re seeking a peaceful, welcoming, and beautifully curated retreat in Zurich, this is the place.

Josephine's Guesthouse - ! Women Only !

Staying at Josephine's Guesthouse was an absolute delight—especially as a women-only space, which made me feel incredibly safe and comfortable. The room was spacious with two windows that let in plenty of natural light, and despite some street noise, they kindly provided earplugs, which worked perfectly. The beds—one large, one slightly smaller—were both super comfy, and the two radiators kept the room warm and cozy throughout the night. I slept like a baby! The cleanliness was outstanding—every corner felt spotless, no complaints at all. Located just steps away from the train station, it’s ideal for overnight stays or quick transfers. There are also tons of great restaurants nearby, so dinner options were never a problem. One quirky detail: the elevator requires you to open the door manually—something I’d never seen before, but honestly, it added a bit of charm. Check-in and check-out weren’t staffed on Saturday, so we had to figure things out ourselves. While the check-out instructions weren’t clearly mentioned in the email, I found them posted inside the elevator—just drop your key into the white mailbox on the right side of the first floor. It was a little tricky at first, but everything worked smoothly. Overall, this place offers excellent value, safety, and comfort. Highly recommend for solo female travelers looking for a peaceful, well-located stay in Zurich!

Everything I needed for a short trip was right there in the apartment, from kitchen essentials to cozy bedding.

Their responsiveness and warm hospitality made all the difference. This place feels like home—spacious, stylish, and thoughtfully designed. Highly recommend for travelers who value convenience, comfort, and a personal touch.

VISIONAPARTMENTS Militärstrasse - contactless check-in

The apartment was absolutely fantastic—spacious, clean, and well-designed with a modern touch. Located just minutes from the city center, it's incredibly convenient for exploring Zurich by public transit. The contactless check-in was a huge plus, making our arrival stress-free and efficient. While we appreciated the privacy and independence, we did notice that housekeeping wasn’t scheduled during longer stays, so we had to manage cleaning duties ourselves. That said, the overall experience was outstanding—great value, excellent location, and a comfortable home away from home. I’d definitely book again and highly recommend this place to travelers who prefer self-sufficient stays.

Viadukt Apartments

Our experience at Viadukt Apartments was extremely disappointing. We had trouble picking up the key upon arrival and called the emergency number listed. The manager answered, we explained our situation, but she hung up on us multiple times and insisted on communicating via message. After sending our booking details, she finally replied with a code—but it didn’t work. We tried calling back, but got no response. Then, out of nowhere, she stormed in angrily without saying hello. She entered the code she’d sent us, only to discover it still didn’t work—turns out she’d made a typo in one digit, yet offered not even a single apology. Unbelievable for a hospitality setting. The entire interaction was rude and unprofessional. Honestly, I’ve never encountered such poor service in my travels. The only redeeming factor is the convenient location—easy access to Letzigrund—but that’s really all there is to say.

The location is absolutely perfect—just steps away from the city center with countless attractions within walking distance. I’d definitely stay here again. The lockers are generously sized, making storage easy and secure. While there seem to be only a few bathrooms and showers, I never had to wait—everything ran smoothly throughout my visit. My only suggestion would be adding another fan to improve airflow, but honestly, that’s not enough to take away from the excellent experience. Overall, a fantastic value for money and highly recommended.

Staying at Park Hyatt Zurich was an absolute highlight of my trip. The room was stunning—sleek, spacious, and thoughtfully designed with a perfect balance of modern elegance and comfort. I loved how the natural light poured in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, offering breathtaking views of the city. The hotel’s ambiance is sophisticated yet warm, with tasteful art pieces and attention to detail that truly set it apart. Breakfast was exceptional—fresh, high-quality ingredients, and the local breads were simply divine.

Located right in the heart of the financial district, it’s steps away from a branch of the Bank of China, and super convenient for public transport—trams are just outside. There’s also a grocery store nearby and a fantastic Thai restaurant within walking distance. Everything you need is close by.
