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.
It is an OK hotel for a short stay . Reception staff is friendly and effective . Bar is OK although quite expensive , Rooms are smalls but clean ( and bathroom very tight ) , and breakfast average
Best hotel in town…friendly staff. Great lounge & bar.
Lovely Hotel. Breakfast was lovely to and reasonable.
Excellent location, kind and warm staff, nice breakfast
Always a very good experience. Super Location, very nice stuff, solid rooms (amongst the Motel One hotels not the best ones), great bar.
Our good experience started when we had approached Front Desk officer - Noah. He was very helpfull and accommodating - we got the best room quickly, received all our answers, booked a Taxi for the next morning etc. Keep up the good job, Noah!!!!
I wish you had rooms with 2 separate beds
You should provide water in the room
I had my room next to the elevator, and heard it all night long…
Friendly check-in. Good air conditioning upon arrival. Basic room amenities - could easily upgrade with simple things like drinking glasses (not paper cups), two towels, etc. Clean room and good plug locations.
The hotel is good it just misses a manager who adds that extra Touch. It just lack soul.
The hotel was nice but the air con didn't work well enough and the breakfast options for a non-dairy guest was very limited.
Earlier Check-in than 3 pm welcome!
During a strong heatwave. the AC controls were blocked and it was not possible to adjust the temperature of the room not being able to properly sleep due to the high temperature.
We are so glad we chose this hotel! The room was spacious, comfortable, and most importantly, spotlessly clean. The bed and pillows were incredibly comfortable, and we had a great night’s sleep every night. The location is excellent. The main train station is only about a 15–20 minute walk away, and the tram stops are just a few minutes from the hotel. We mostly explored the city on foot, and getting around was very easy. The breakfast exceeded all our expectations. There was a great selection of cheeses, tomatoes, cucumbers, eggs, olives, fresh pastries, jams, honey, butter, excellent coffee machines, and even organic English teas. Instead of looking for a place to have breakfast every morning, eating at the hotel was the best choice. It saved us both time and money. The hotel staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. They made us feel at home throughout our stay. If I ever visit this city again, I would definitely stay at this hotel again without hesitation. We were extremely satisfied with every aspect of our stay and highly recommend it.
good location, friendly at reception arrival city and restaurant information could have been better , snacks at bar not so great, room perfect and patio for breakfast very nice
Service and people were very good. This said, air conditioning did not work, the coolest place was the corridor when it was close to 28/29 inside the room...

Hotel Zurich
Welcome to Motel One Zurich ! Here we’re all about the mountains, the chocolate and the nearby lake.
Entering the lobby you’re confronted straight away by a picturesque silhouette of the Swiss Alps, framed by loden curtains from Swiss luxury brand Christian Fischbacher. Over a healthy breakfast in our One Lounge you can gaze upon evocative images of nearby Lake Zurich and an original Boesch model boat – to get you in the mood for a day on the water. Our bar, in contrast, is dedicated to the Switzerland’s number one export: chocolate – from the drops of chocolate raining from the ceiling to the golden wrapper over the counter. Who could resist such sweet temptation?
Our Design Hotel in Zurich is situated in the town centre, close to the old botanical gardens at Schanzengraben. Paradeplatz and Bahnhofstrasse, the Grossmünster church and other central sights are well within walking distance. The central station is not far off, and Lake Zurich is just a few blocks away.
Enjoy your stay in this picturesque city, and as the locals say: “Grüezi!”
Peak Cosiness
Mountains, chocolate and Lake Zurich – these three elements make Motel One Zurich impossible to resist!
