I stayed at Hotel Hottingen for one day at the end of a week-long business trip throughout Switzerland, during which I stayed at a number of other hotels in this price range in multiple Swiss cities (including Zürich, Lausanne and Biel). Hottingen is in a great location (maybe 50 yards from the Hottingerplatz stop, which is on the #3 and... More

Best value for money in Zurich. Clean, comfortable, excellent service, ample breakfast. Small kitchen on each floor with lockable compartment in the refrigerator available for each guest. 25 meter public pool just around the corner, tram stop 25 meters away, 10 minute walk to Bellevue and the lake. One small gripe is the very harsh shampoo but at these prices... More

Stayed here for 3 nights in September and thought it was a great place to stay for the money. LOCATION was GREAT, just a 50-yard walk to the tram station. I got the feeling that the hotel isn’t in the best neighborhood but didn’t have any problems with people or noise. Some of the staff was incredibly friendly, some others... More

Originally reserved with a companion with what I thought was private bathroom, because we saw somewhere that even though our reservation said "shared shower", all rooms "now" have private "bathrooms" - I had thought that covered both the toilet AND the shower, but actually NO, there are shower facilities out in the hallway for shared use - so pay very...

Let's address the elephant in the room - Zurich is expensive. Food, accomodation, activities - all expensive. With this in mind we were looking for a budget hotel to spend the night in at the end of our Alps driving tour. The Hottingen fit the bill as it was in our price range so we booked in. It is well...

We were so excited to be in Switzerland, but staying here really dampened our mood. The people who work here are the rudest of anywhere I've ever stayed. They were completely unhelpful, asking for help at all seemed to be a huge burden on them. The staff called security on my friend and I when we took an apple from... More

We had a studio attic room, which had views over the rooftops, and of delightful Art Nouveau friezes under the eaves of the house across the road. The hotel is on a main street, very close to the centre and with excellent connections by tram, and just up the road from the Art Museum. Despite this, it is quiet. There... More
