Radisson Hotel & Suites Zurich
It is a great property! Very helpful staff on check in and check out. Rooms were exceptionally clean and comfortable. And the Luscombe Silvaire hanging outside the window in the courtyard was the icing on the cake!

Hotel Scheuble
Perfect location. Easy walk to Old Town. Staff extremely nice. Breakfast pretty basic for the price. Would go out to a cafe for better hot drinks and eats. Room was clean and had plenty of plug ins to charge our electronics. Great hairdryer! Bathroom doors were a little weird - frosted sliding glass ...
