Hotel Hottingen

We stayed here for 1 night immediately after our flight. It’s a bit of a distance from Zurich HB but if you’re using the trams/buses, you’ll be there in 5 minutes. And the bonus to being outside of the main city is it’s quiet! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. We came to drop off luggage around 11am and they allowed us to check in then. They also give you access to a full kitchen (stove, microwave and fridge which has lock boxes inside where you can keep your groceries). We’ll definitely stay here again if we come back to Zurich.

Avoid this place at all costs. Our experience at this hotel was extremely disappointing. We had booked 2 rooms for 2 families—including a baby and a toddler—for the busy Christmas Market season, and we received a confirmation email for our booking. This should have guaranteed our rooms, as confirmation normally means payment was processed. However, upon arrival, we were told our reservation was canceled because the hotel claimed our credit card was declined. If this was the case, how did we receive a confirmation email? No one from the hotel contacted us to confirm or assist with payment—surprising, since the reservation was for 2 rooms with young children. To make matters worse, the lady at reception was very unhelpful. The only rooms offered were at a dramatically higher rate (blatant attempt at price gouging desperate families) and were so small that a baby bed couldn’t even fit. The lack of flexibility or empathy, especially for families with small children during peak season, was shocking and they clearly don’t care if they leave families stranded, even with infants in winter. Disgraceful.

Nice hotel conveniently located for accessing sights,etc, and situated in a quiet area. On arrival staff were friendly and helpful. Room was relatively basic but had everything we needed. It was also very clean,quiet and comfortable. We had a lovely tome here and it was a good base for us.

Very nice hotel in a quiet area near Kunsthaus. You can take the tram or walk downtown. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It is a great place to stay and a good base to explore Zurich.

Thank you for the wonderful stay. The hotel was very comfortable, and I really appreciated the kindness of the staff — especially NAIM was always so friendly and helpful. Please pass along my thanks to him and the whole team for making my visit so enjoyable.

Nice and modern hotel in a great location. Comfortable and spacious rooms, however the air conditioner worked poorly and is blocked by the curtains, as it is positioned directly above the window.

Excellent breakfast with a variety of hot and cold items to choose from. The rooms are very clean and spacious. I would have preferred a softer bed, but I was able to sleep very well. The staff is also very friendly and accommodating.

The hotel is in an excellent location, close to trams and the Kunsthaus. We used the communal kitchen and bought pastries from the local bakery for breakfast. The hotel itself is clean and comfortable and the staff were helpful. Would stay here again.

Great hotel! Basic room however was very clean and just enough. The staff were lovely. Allowed us to bring our bags early and they had a bag storage. They even had a bin of umbrellas and allowed us to borrow some in the rain. Very close to the train and town, 10 minute walk.

What a terrific hotel just slightly outside the city center. I should start by saying many hotels in city center will NOT keep your bags after checkout. This lovely little place does. Service is friendly and helpful, the hotel is very clean and the room (by European standards, especially Italy) was practically palatial. Our twin beds (a bit cheaper than a queen) were comfortable, the bathroom was small but had amazing water pressure and our room even had a tiny table and chairs in a dining nook! There is a small kitchen for use by all ( clean up after yourself please) in case you feel inspired. Just a 5 minute tram ride from Zurich HB,it's a true gem
