Despite a few minor inconveniences, like no in-room coffee maker and lack of nearby amenities, the central location, efficient lifts, and helpful staff made up for it. The modern rooms and early check-in option were a plus.

Despite the pricey parking, we found a great free spot near a convenient tram stop. The hotel is clean and close to the city center and a lovely lake swimming spot. However, staff were elusive on a Sunday, and the lack of a coffee machine and a long walk to the room were drawbacks. The helpful staff, stylish decor, and ideal location near public transport make this hotel a good choice for solo travelers exploring Zurich.

Dive into Migg's Mix Sandwiches for chomp-worthy bites close by. Feel the vibes at Hato for a local foodie adventure. The Pub's atmosphere is top-notch for a chill evening. Rooms and public areas are modern and spotless. Friendly staff make you feel right at home.
If you're business-bound, the lax Wi-Fi security might cramp your style. Duvet size mix-ups could have you doing a midnight Madonna impression.

Motel One was a comfortable, well-decorated stay. the room exceeded expectations, clean and spacious. Breakfast offered a variety of options, even though slightly pricey. Perfectly located with nearby cafes and restaurants.
Limited food choices, especially at night. No hot options during winter.

The location of Motel One was perfect for my visit to the Grossmunster landmark. The lobby cafeteria and bar offered handcrafted Swiss chocolate truffles, a delightful surprise. The staff's around the clock guidance in German and English was very helpful during my stay.
Small rooms.

The hotel location near Bahnhofstrasse is spot on, especially during Weihnachtsmarkt season; the price is totally fair, and the Tram no. 10 from the airport getting you almost right to the hotel for just a few Francs is a major win. The bar/lounge area and co-working space are chill, the building looks pretty cool, and the rooms are super clean with big windows. The 24hr bar is a total plus, the beds are super comfy, and the staff are awesome—although not having water or coffee access in the room was a bit of a bummer. 🌟

Arriving early, we were welcomed with a comfy bed, spacious room, and great WiFi. Located in central Zurich, the historical charm added to its value. Friendly staff make up for the lack of room service and no in-room phone. A few amenities like a mini bar and additional seating would elevate the experience.

We visited the beautiful lake and climbed the Grossmünster for epic city views. The decor was trendy, the staff was super friendly, and the 24-hour bar was a hit. The rooms were spacious, the beds were comfy, and the WiFi was on point.
The only thing we missed was a more happening atmosphere at the bar for young party-goers like us.

Loved the posh lobby with dangling pendulum lights and historical books. The cozy common areas with Italian furniture were awesome. The staff, in bright turquoise, were an absolute delight.
Who needs a phone or an iron in a room, right? And who wants coffee or tea?

The bathroom was a luxurious oasis with sleek granite, designer taps, and a refreshing rain shower. it made us feel pampered and relaxed after a day of exploring the city.
The lighting in the bathroom felt a bit dim for our liking.

The hotel is located in a nice part of town, just a short walk away from the city center. It's close to everything but not in the heart of anything too buzzy. The rooms are clean and the staff are friendly and helpful. The lobby has a great vibe, with a bar and comfortable seating areas. The fast WiFi is perfect for staying connected. The beds are comfy and the windows can be opened to let in the fresh air.
Some guests have mentioned that there were not enough towels provided in the rooms, making it difficult to request extras without a phone in the room.

My recent stay at this hotel was an absolute delight! the location is superb, nestled in a quiet area and within walking distance to many popular attractions like the Fraumunster Church and the Old Town. the breakfast spread was fantastic with a great selection, and the room was comfortable and peaceful, with no street noise.
One small area for improvement could be the bathroom doors in the room, as they tended to slam shut. a few more working lamps in the room would have been nice for extra lighting.

I recently stayed at a charming hotel located in the heart of the city, yet nestled in a quiet area. It was perfect for me as I could reach all the main sights in no time, while still enjoying a peaceful environment. The room was tastefully outfitted and provided excellent WiFi signal, a comfortable bed, and a pristine bathroom. I particularly enjoyed the friendly and attentive service. Although there was no coffee machine in the room, the chic lobby bar served amazing coffee and offered the perfect spot to meet friends or business contacts.
A few important accessories were missing from the room, such as a chair and a central console under the TV.

I recently stayed at Motel One for a few nights during a visit to Zurich. The location was perfect, with easy access to the city center. The beds, pillows, and duvets were incredibly comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep. The staff were friendly and helpful, providing excellent recommendations for nearby restaurants. The room itself was exactly as pictured - clean, spacious, and tastefully decorated. The bathroom was modern and spotlessly clean, with a good hairdryer provided. And let's not forget the great coffee! I loved my stay at Motel One and would highly recommend this hotel.
I recommend this hotel.

The convenient location within walking distance to the old city center and the stunning courtyard space for relaxing and dining made my stay memorable. However, the lack of toiletries provided and the unfriendliness of some staff members were aspects that could be improved upon.

Our stay in this hotel was lovely. We appreciated the cleanliness, hotel facilities, transportation options, and location near to almost everything. The hotel is conveniently situated in a former post office and close to a supermarket in downtown. We were able to walk to many nearby attractions and transportation options were easy to come by. The breakfast was also a standout - delicious and plentiful. In addition, the staff was very helpful and accommodating, providing us with all of the information we needed.
No issues.

I was mesmerized by the chocolate raining from the ceiling. The skyline view of the Swiss Alps, framed by the loden curtains, was breathtaking. The lobby's black marble panels added a touch of elegance. And those handcrafted Swiss chocolate truffles at the bar? Divine. I loved climbing for the stunning views of the city and the compact granite-and-glass bathrooms were a treat. The walnut-and-linen headboards were a nice touch. The staff was truly charming and helpful. It was a delightful stay. Bonus: I managed to charm the staff with my British sense of humour.

Great staff! Very friendly and helpful. the room was clean and neat, just what I was looking for. the courtyard was a nice place to relax. I also appreciated the central location, it was convenient for exploring the city. my expectations were exceeded.
There were limited food choices after hours, which was a bit inconvenient. the breakfast was a little on the pricey side, but that's expected in a city like this.

This hotel has excellent value for money. For such a reasonable price, we were pleasantly surprised by the attention to detail. The rooms were equipped with air-conditioning, which was a relief during the heat wave. The beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. Additionally, the included breakfast was a delicious start to the day.

Superb stay at Motel One Zurich! The room faced a noisy courtyard, but the lobby was stunning. Staff not overly friendly, but good location and nice bar. Pricey minibar, but overall a lovely hotel with clean rooms.

I was delighted with the clean and modern facilities at Motel One. The stylish room had a smart TV, powerful hair dryer, and a safe. I particularly enjoyed the convenience of USB slots in the plug points for charging my devices. The bathroom was nicely styled and extremely clean, with a great designer body wash. The location of the hotel was perfect, close to all major attractions and within walking distance of the financial companies' offices and shopping streets.
I would have appreciated having tea and coffee making facilities in the room to avoid the hassle of going down to the bar for a cup of paid coffee. Additionally, it would have been helpful if a sign was posted about the tap water being safe to drink in Zurich, as not all guests are accustomed to drinking tap water in their home countries.

The location of the hotel was fantastic – just a short walk from the beautiful lake and the impressive twin-turreted Grossmünster, which offered breathtaking panoramic views of the city. The modern and clean rooms made for a comfortable stay, and the accommodating staff were a delight.
My kids wished for some more kid-friendly activities on the premises.

I recently stayed at Motel One in Zurich for a few nights during a leisure trip. The hotel's location was superb, and the staff went above and beyond to allow us an early check-in. The foyer and bar had a stunning decor, and our room was spotlessly clean with beautiful furnishings. The high-quality bed and linen ensured a great night's sleep. Additionally, the breakfast selection, though not included, was outstanding and worth the extra cost.
Can definitely recommend this hotel.

The rooms at Motel One Zurich are clean, modern, and well-equipped, making it a convenient choice for a short stay. The hotel's location is ideal, just a 10-minute walk from the lake and city center, offering easy access to major landmarks like Swiss National Museum, Fraumunster Church, and Bahnhofstrasse. The relaxation facilities, including the TV room, provided a nice retreat after busy days of exploring, enhancing our family bonding experience.

I chose Motel One for its central location near Bahnhofstrasse, and I was pleasantly surprised by the handcrafted Swiss chocolate truffles served at the bar. From the drops of chocolate raining from the ceiling to the golden wrapper, the chocolate experience was delightful.
Open shower concept felt impractical.

The hotel had super comfy beds and the room temperature was perfect. The staff, especially Zahir, was mind-blowingly friendly and accommodating. The location was jaw-droppingly central, within walking distance of everything. The hotel's concept of not charging for unnecessary facilities like phone, room service, and restaurant was genius. The trendy, new, and concept-style building offered a great price compared to other hotels. Will definitely stay again!

Amidst the chocolatey-toned common areas, I found myself sinking into a leather sofa, feeling like a piece of Swiss chocolate melting under the warm sun. The lively common areas set with Italian-made furniture provided the perfect setting for me to indulge in the handcrafted Swiss chocolate truffles offered at the bar.
