Top Zürich Hotel Reviews

Saint Georges Hotel

Saint Georges Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"A pretty good deal for the most expensive city in the world. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Amenities were good despite the fact that the toilets/shower was down the hall, perhaps something many Americans aren’t used to. But they were very clean and civilized. You might not want to stay here in the heat of the summer because there’s no air-conditioning, but fortunately the weather broke to be somewhat cooler while we were here. Property is cllose to the Weideken train station, a little bit further from the main HBF Definitely worth it."

"Great location only five minutes or so to Old Town Zurich. Nice breakfast and helpful staff. Room fairly basic but was fine as we were out most of the time. No safe deposit box in room which was unexpected and not ideal."

8/10 Good
"It was a very nice stay. Rooms were very clean. The staff were amazing and friendly. Only downside is the lack of AC as the rooms got kind of stuffy, even with the windows open, and there was no fan in the bathroom so it got pretty humid. Other than that 10/10"
