Motel clean & safe , staff are polite & very helpful Thanks for your kind hospitality
We enjoyed our time at MotelOne—the staff was friendly and helpful. I also note they were clear at reception that the concept is business budget. The breakfast was great and the common areas accommodated working and socializing well. The rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable and our only complaint was that they are a bit too sparse—a place, besides the floor, to rest a suitcase, a glass for water, and some shampoo and conditioner doesn't seem too much to expect. All in all, however, we would recommend the hotel to others and we would stay there again.
Rooms basic but nice. Bed comfortable. Lack of fridge an issue especially with high temperatures. Carpet a bit shabby but bathroom clean. Handy use of steamer from reception. Nice bar and courtyard. Excellent location within walking distance of everywhere I needed to go.
Nice hotel, friendly staff, good breakfast, well located in zurich city center.
Comfortable and clean. It would have been nice to have tea facilities in the room but it was fine for a short stay. The hotel bar is very nice.
Very comfortable stay. We got room quickly on arrival and were also given the extended checkout time as a member.
We had a very good stay and will definitely come again.
Better shampoo and container and hair dryer
The only thing I really missed is a little refrigerator inside the room.
Great location, spacious room. Room did get warm during the night and too much outside noise to open windows. Noise not an issue with windows closed.
Room 0.09 was really not pleasant. Just next to the breakfast area and on the outside where people are having a drink.
Motel One Zurich was very modern, pleasant and an easy walk from train station. Breakfast was very good and staff was very helpful with recommendations and directions. The staff agreed to let us use small place in their cooler since mini fridges are not provided in room. Only improvement would be to have coffee in rooms and a mini fridge. This is a great value hotel and we would stay here again.
Air conditioning didn't cool down room enough
nice, clean , and well positioned Motel......
Very comfortable room with a view and balcony. Polite personell.
Excellent hotel in a prime location.... Excellent staff and all very sociable
Hotel was in a good place and staff was really helpful. We missed kettle in the room We had an issue with toilet water and were changed to a new room really quick Worst was my daughter discovered same day we left she has been bitten by bedbugs.pls review linen asap. Thnks
Great and super friendly service, interesting offerings and bar (especially the gin variety) - just as expensive as Zurich is, as such
We had a corner room on 2floor facing a traffic junction-which was used until late at night by car posers. Annoyingly the air con wasn t doing the job if it was working at all…hence. We spent a night without much sleep
One of the best hotels to stay in Züri
good location, very near to the most beautiful places of the city. Confortable rooms and nice receptionists.
Everything was great! The only one thing missing - slippers in the room
Good Location close to Train and Tram Lake and Altstadt. Nice atmosphere die to beautiful classic Lounge and Bar
My rating would be excellent if rooms had coffee/ tea making facilities (at least a kettle, cups, glasses and small spoons)
I very much appreciated the early access to my room, especially after a long flight!!!
I would have rated the stay higher if the Zurich location had air conditioning on days the temperature exceed 93 degrees Fahrenheit.
Very good check in, the room was spacious and very clean.
The room was a very good size for European standards. The high ceiling made the room feel much bigger, too. The bathroom is small, but efficient. There is plenty of room in the shower. The air conditioning worked well. The courtyard by the bar is wonderful - quiet and relaxing. I would definitely stay here again.
Hotel, facilities and staff were all excellent. I wish there had been an electric kettle in the room.
I am impressed with this hotel and love staying here. The value is great. More than that, service is excellent, the location cannot be beat, and the breakfast feature is a strong selling point!
Overall good if you are just in-and-out. Rooms are small and don’t have a mini fridge or espresso/tea machine.
Another great stay at Motel One Zürich. As I have said in previous reviews, it is always a pleasure to see familiar faces in the breakfast team. In addition, on this occasion Jeremy on reception gave a very warm welcome, identifying I was a returning guest. Hopefully I will return again soon - it is becoming a home away from home.
Perfect Location in the middle of the City, near Lake Zurich!
The 2nd bed was not made up and I had to ask for bedding. The staff refused to deliver it and were rude when I asked for assistance.
Never seen a hotel that doesn't serv worm breakfast. I missed a second towel in the room and a kettle for making coffee in the room. Price is fare but the value is accordingly poor.
Noah at the front desk was wonderful! Moved us to a quieter and cooler room and gave us dinner reservations. I was considering changing hotels but Noah saved the day and is the reason we stayed The original staff member who checkd us in was not friendly and seemed to be making fun of us. He didnt offer any help beyond the required transactions or ask if we needed anything. Our first room was on a loud street side and very warm. Noah moved us to courtyard which was much better! Bar staff were wonderful!
The room rate was rather expensive. The air conditioning was noisy. And it was not possible to leave the bathroom door open.
Simply stated when I come to Zürich my number 1 choice is Motel One. Centrally located, yet quiet, friendly and professional staff, large, clean rooms, a sense of freshness in the rooms. Motel one in Zürich is my choice.
Fantastic hotel! Enjoyed a lot
Generally good value for money. Check in can be a bit slow. The rooms are generally clean and I really appreciate the integrity and thoughtfulness of the cleaning staff as on my previous stay I lost a (small) earring in the room and they found it and saved it for me.
value for price
It's a shame there is no minibar (refrigerator).
Easy to check in
Simple fast and easy check in check out ! Clean and comfortable room.
My stay was excellent but the price was very high.
Zurich MotelOne was our choice for a 2 night stop. It wasn’t too far from the railway station.
Nice room, nice room service, perfect location. They should have more adaptor for tourist however, the reception give me the hint which socket I should try.
Their air conditioning is non-existent; I tried 3 different rooms. The rest of the hotel is great, but AC is the primary reason to stay at this hotel, and they did not deliver.
Comfortable hotel, nice ambiance, good location, good breakfast.
Air conditioning in the room was inadequate.
Switch on. beOne.
Zurich
“Grüezi!” from Switzerland!
Switzerland’s largest city boasts a high standard of living and a distinctive setting between the Alps and the lovely Lake Zurich, making it a favourite with visitors. Motel One is, of course, on hand in this exciting city: our Design Hotel is just a short stroll from the lake shore offers individually designed rooms, cosy box-spring beds and free WiFi. At our centrally-located Zurich hotel, you can feel at home, start your day with a healthy breakfast and take in the best aspects of the city. Zurich is renowned for its shopping, fashion and lively night-life, and its numerous museums, galleries and international labels attract art and fashion aficionados from around the world. High time you put in a visit!
Budget Design Hotels in Zurich – your Motel One
Even though Zurich is Switzerland’s largest city and trendsetter, visitors will find it surprisingly compact to explore. Or you may prefer to pull on the hiking boots and use Zurich simply as a base for excursions into the surrounding countryside and wealth of nearby mountains. However, there is plenty to discover within the city limits too. Our hotel is not far from Paradeplatz, a square lined with banks and luxury boutiques where the city’s prosperity is on full display.
Carrying on down Poststrasse, you can’t miss the Fraumünster Church. One of three churches in the Old Town, the Fraumünster looks back over the centuries next to the equally imposing Stadthaus.
A visit to the Zurich-West district shows why trend scouts and travel guides alike have listed Zurich as a destination not to be missed. Once humming with industry, the area is now a focal point of the bar and art scenes, hosting experimental cuisine, artistic fancies and the sort of mad creativity that no-one would have thought possible in the Zurich of only a few years ago – or anywhere in Switzerland, in fact. What makes the place perhaps so special is the fact that this transformation is still ongoing, and subcultural influences are still to be seen with all the appurtenant charm and chaos.
Lake Zurich, the Opera House and the Swiss National Museum
When you’re ready to take a break from the bustle of the city, head for the shores of lovely Lake Zurich. Even though it’s right by the town (and our affordable Design Hotel too), it’s a place of leafy tranquillity. Spread out on the grass or sample the local cuisine in a lakeside café or restaurant.
The renowned Opera House is also found right by the lakeside. It houses audience of over a thousand, and has its own ballet company of 50 or so dancers. Zurich really does have something for everyone. Our Design Hotel staff can gladly advise you on what to see, whether you want to do it all, keep it minimal, concentrate on the old or focus on the new.
