Top hotels in District 2
Motel One Zürich
The stay was amazing. The room is decent size and bathroom is locked and private. There is a locker in the room and dark curtains to block out the light. There are windows for fresh air that was a bonus. Friendly staff and gave us an early check in.

Youth Hostel Zurich
I’m not going to take a star away bc of this, I dont think it is objective for what I am rating, but know that you’re not allowed to speak “at all” after 10:00pm I’m not sure how this is possible because it’s a freaking hostel. While you should be respectful people are coming and going! Someone checked ...

Radisson Blu Hotel Zurich Airport
We stayed there our last night since we had an early flight. There are so many places to eat and shop and only 5 minutes walk to our terminal. It was all indoors and very very convenient. The staff were amazing and very helpful

Bed could be moved closer to the windows to create more space to place luggage. The platform space near the windows were wasted.
