Mercure Zürich City
We didn't have breakfast. If you are in a comfortable room you do not get a kettle or a safe although the staff did say we could use the coffee machine in the lobby and lockers by reception. Nice spa area though the hot tub was out of use.

Radisson Blu Hotel Zurich Airport
The check-in was fast, 5 minutes, even though there was a line. The room was very quiet and clean and the beds were comfortable. Being at the airport for an early morning flight was very convenient.
