Bristol Hotel - Zurich

This is a simple hotel, but it is clean and quiet, with helpful and friendly staff. It is all one could ask for in a budget hotel. It is an easy walk to the train-station, and a few blocks removed from the noisy tourist section.

For the price that I paid, I would have expected much more than the smallish rooms, and motel-like feeling. There are no electronic key cards, so it is quite inconvenient to drop off the key when you leave, and then have to ask for it every time you want to access your room. Desk service was mediocre, with me having to wait for a couple minutes for […] a reception when checking in, and slight unfriendliness from one receptionist. Read more

Great hotel, friendly staff that were very helpful and multilingual. Hotel is 2 blocks from the Zurich HB and has many shops, bars and cafes around. Will stay again!

Would stay again. Very close to main train station.

Overall was very happy with our stay, they let us check at 10am, which was really nice given we had just taken an over night train. Hotel was very reasonably priced for the area, and included a decent breakfast. Room and bathroom were clean. Both bathroom and room were small, but compared to other european hotels I'd say were average. Hotel staff was […] friendly spoke good english, and were also helpful. Overall would definitely stay here again. Read more

I have stayed at this hotel a few years ago, and in the menatime it was refurbished and now it feels new and very pleasant. The location of the hotel is very good, within a waking distance from the main train station, and still very quiet, with a tram stop very near, with the breakfast nice and the staff friendly.The main problem of my room, which was […] located on the last floor, was the shape of the ceiling, which in turn was right below the pointed roof. Because of it, there were areas in the room and in the bathroom, which were barely (or not at all) accesible, and I was on continuous alert of banging my head in these places. Read more

We enjoyed our overnight in Zurich before heading to the Engadine Valley. Hotel was convenient to train, museum, and a nice walk to Lake Zurich.

The rooms are small and basic-plain, it's ok for a short stay, as for Switzerland this price range is on the lower end. 15 min walk to the center or take the tramway a couple of stops.Free WIFI is a plus

NEAT AND CLEAN, WITH HELPFUL STAFF. NICE BREAKFAST. VERY CLOSE TO TOWN WITH ALOT OF RESTAURANTS AND SHOPS, AS WELL AS THE TRAIN STATION. THE RATES ARE MORE REASONABLE THAN MOST OF THE HOTELS IN ZURICH.

Genuine Expedia guest review

A nice experience, although they forgot to clean the room one day. Bathroom is completely new - which is very nice. Better be called shower-room as there is no bath - but its fine since it is brand new.

If you're looking for opulence, there are plenty of hotels in Zurich that will give you that — with a price tag to match. But if you're looking for a clean, quiet stay with not a lot of frills and a great location, it's hard to beat the Bristol. A very short walk away from the "Old Town" and from the famed train station, from which you can get to just […] about anywhere in Europe. A great value in a city where things tend to be on the pricey side. Read more

Location of hotel was great. 5 minute walk to train station and less than 5 minute walk to Old Town. Only negative was bed wasn't very comfortable.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Historic hotel that was easy to find as we'll as use for home site. We were close to everything we wanted to do and see in Zurich. Would stay again. Only improvement suggested is front desk upon sign-in was not friendly and never bothered to smile.

Genuine Expedia guest review

though everything is good here, the breakfast needs improvement. Not much variety here especially for vegetarians

Genuine Expedia guest review

slightly small rooms but compensates with convenient location. very decent cost-value

Genuine Expedia guest review

Functional, clean and well-located. Free internet, decent breakfast and friendly staff. My only (small) problem was that they changed the towels daily although they had a card in the bathroom indicating they are eco-friendly and would only change the towels if we put them on the floor. Also, the pillow was bad and gave me a stiff neck.

Genuine Expedia guest review

This hotel is "no-frills" but this is not to be interpreted in a negative way. The receptionist was polite and multi-lingual. My room was clean.with small but perfectly adequate bathroom with a nice shower and heated towels (no freebie shampoos or lotions). Included breakfast was certainly adequate but definitely "no frills." Easy walk to/from Central […] Station and trolleys. Right next to the "old quarter." This hotel should be inexpensive compared to the others you might be considering. Read more

There are two people that made this trip/vacation to Zurich amazing and they are Beatrice and Selina they are the best service desk staff my family and I ever met, we were greeted with a big smile and help us with every questions that we had about the city...

We had a super stay at the Bristol Hotel and would definitely stay here again. Convenient location - easily walkable from the train station and for sight-seeing in the city center, even with our young toddler, the location was great. Affordable price (by Swiss standards) that included a very filling breakfast. And most importantly, the rooms are spotless. […] Yes, the room is simplistic but it's efficiently designed and seriously was one of the cleanest hotels we have ever stayed in. We are frequent travelers and would definitely come back. Read more

Good place to go because of proximity to the train station! Clean and functional.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Location is very handy to the bahnhof and the sites of Zurich. All staff members we interacted with were very helpful.....even letting us eat breakfast early because of an early flight. Overall, good value choice in an expensive city.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The Bristol Hotel is an excellent hotel for anyone looking to stay in Zurich. The hotel was very clean, the staff were gracious and helpful, and you got a good deal for the price especially with the included breakfast. The location could not be more perfect - just a few blocks walking and you are in the heart of the city. We would definitely come back […] and recommend it to others. Read more

Hotel was convenient (5 min walk) to train station. Staff is friendly and helpful. Room was modern and clean. Great value for the price.

I found that this hotel matched the description exactly. I booked here because out of all the hotels that offered Wifi and breakfast in Zurich it was the cheapest with decent reviews. It is a family owned hotel, with a staffed 24 hr reception desk. It is within 10 -15 minutes walking distance of the train station, and is in a quiet area of town. The […] rooms are clean, simple, and have been recently updated with modern furnishings. There is no air con, but a fan is provided. Even though my room was facing the street with the windows open to let in cool air, I didn't have problems with street noise. The reception staff were friendly and recommended a great restaurant for dinner. The wifi in the hotel is free and breakfast was included in the price. The breakfast was simple with no frills, but definitely offered the basic selection in a clean and spacious place to sit. I was very pleased and would definitely stay here again if I was called to business in Zurich. Read more

Convenient access to the rail station. Very clean. Staff provided breakfast rolls and coffee as we were unable to partake of the included breakfast. This was our second time to stay here.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The rooms are a little small to move around in, but the good condition of the hotel and it's proximity to the old city of Zurich (with all it's beauty and atractions) make this hotel a good choice for the traveller. Also, the free, all-included breakfast buffet is excellent.

The hotel staff were friendly. and helpful. I had taken a very early train from Geneva and arrived in Zurich much earlier than check-in time but they immediately gave me a room. I appreciated this gesture since it gave me some time to freshen up, relax and get myself organized before exploring the city sights. The location is great too. It is about […] a 10 minute walk to the train station and the bus terminal where one can sign up for the tours. It is also walking distance to the shopping areas and the restaurants. I booked the hotel at the last minnute but got a really good price. It came with a free continental breakfast which was not bad. Overall, I would definitely recommend the hotel to a friend.

The location was excellent. Tram directly across the street took us to the center of town within 5 minutes. The lobby was not at all inviting. The room was extremely small. The staff was pleasant. However, at checkout they asked for payment of a city tax. My reservaon stated that taxes were included but I was told it did not apply to the city tax.

Rooms are tiny compared even to European rooms and very, very noisy.

Great staff, very cordial. Breakfast was ok but not great. Excellent location. Lacked some amenities like a room safe and air conditioning. Very clean.

The location was only 5 or so minutes from the Hauptbanhof (train station). There was easy access to the trams and near the Limmat River. Hotel comfortable and adequate amenities with plentiful breakfast choices included in room price. Reception and staff very friendly and helpful. The room was sparse but comfortable for a short stay.

Being from the U.S. and only spending 2 full days in Zurich, this hotel was perfect for me. I took the train from the airport into the City and easily found my way to the hotel from the train station on foot without using any GPS. Contrary to other reviews, it was very easy to find. Just be smart. Beds are small, the sheets are a little sketchy but […] other than that everything was perfect. Really clean room and bathroom, warm shower, fast free internet, and a desk & closet in my room. I couldn't adjust the temperature in my room, so that was kinda a bummer, but it didn't really bother me. Plenty of outlets in the room, a nice tv with some great Soccer/Futbol matches on it. I also enjoyed the breakfast they offered. Plenty to choose from, and a clean environment to eat in. I'd highly recommend this hotel to others staying in the area, especially if it were small groups of people traveling. The price was comparable to any US hotel a night, so it wasn't breaking the bank considering I was staying in the most expensive city to live in, in the whole world. Aside from the hotel, Zurich was absolutely incredible, most beautiful city I've ever been to. The city is like cleaner and way better version of San Francisco haha. You can get anywhere you want on foot or by Tram and food and free wifi isn't hard to come (you just have to suck it up and get starbucks somewhere haha). Be prepared for cold weather pending what season you're traveling there though. Also the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and all spoke very well English. All in all, between my stay at the hotel and Zurich itself, I hope to be back in the city and I would happily stay at the same hotel again. Read more

Brst hotel. Room and staff very nace Good location to city center and main station

Genuine Expedia guest review

We stayed for a one night layover in Zurich and picked the hotel for it's location. It was central to the train station and old town Zurich. Easy walking distance. The room was nothing fancy but served it's purpose. We were traveling as a couple with 2 teen children, thus hard to find a large room. I would recommend.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The location of this hotel near the train station is wonderful. the neighborhood offers easy access to dining and shopping. The hotel is clean, but the rooms are small and a 2-person bed is two singles pushed together.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It stayed at the Bristol at the beginning of my trip and a month later at the end. Conveniently located close to the train station, clean, well priced, generous breakfast buffet. Simple and functional double room. Well heated in the minus 15 degree centigrade weather this February. Friendly, helpful staff at the reception.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Stayed one night to recuperate from the flight from US and do some Zurich sightseeing. The hotel is very conveniently located near train station and old town/shopping district. The hotel itself may need some facelift but the room was clean and the service was great. A very good value for the money given overall exorbitant Zurich hotel prices.
