    Staff was very friendly and kind & the room was not only clean, but larger than expected. The bathroom was ample (with a tub & not just a shower) and the bedroom area had a desk, shelves, and enough space to put luggage. The location is great - essentially right across the street from the train station.

    The room was OK. No complaints but nothing extraordinary.

    Location is perfect. Easy to get to from the main train station and located in the Central tram/bus area. Also next to the Polybahn that goes up to ETH. And located at the beginning of Niederdorfstrasse. At the hotel I liked that they had a complimentary coffee/tea area next to the reception and one could take up cups or even thermos.

    The issue was not having AC in the summer. The room was stifling hot, even with the windows open. Not the hotel's fault, but there was construction (jack hammering) occurring throughout the night into the morning. It was a night to forget, as no one got sleep.

    Check in was smooth and location was perfect. No complaints there. The price is reasonable as well, especially given the location.

    Good value for money hotel in a good location close to the central train station

    • Stayed 1 night

    No air conditioning anywhere in the hotel, including the restaurant. Given we were in the middle of a heatwave, this made the hotel room close to unbearable until early morning when temperatures dropped and you could open your window fully to get the cooler night air. The hotel supplied fans for each room but it was still an uncomfortable night due to the trapped heat in the hotel room. The hot weather was obviously not the hotels fault but we were surprised to find the hotel had no air conditioning at all. The only other thing we didn't really like was having the side of the bed against a wall.

    The hotel was in a good location in relation to the train station in Zurich, which was very handy. The hotel itself was very clean and tidy and the staff were excellent. Check in and check out was easy and fast. The restaurant at the bottom of the hotel was really nice, very Swiss in ambience and the food was plentiful and excellent. Good value for money hotel.

    Guests should be aware that this appears to be an older, historic hotel, and with that comes certain characteristics. The rooms are not very large and can feel quite narrow, which is somewhat expected for such a prime location. There is no air conditioning, though a fan was provided in the room; we were lucky that the weather was cool during our stay, but this could be a significant factor in warmer months. To access the elevator, you must first carry your luggage up a flight of stairs. However, you can ask the staff to open a back door for step-free access, which requires a short walk around the corner of the building.

    The location of Hotel Limmathof is its greatest asset, making it a very convenient choice. It is situated extremely close to the main train station, which makes arriving and departing effortless. We also appreciated that it was not far from a Coop supermarket for any necessities, and being right next to the Polybahn funicular was a real treat, offering a charming way to go up for a lovely view of the city. The hotel has an elevator, and we found the breakfast to be perfectly okay, providing a decent start to our day.

    The front entrance had a lot of steps with no one to help with the bags. The room was really small and there was no air conditioning-just a fan. I would not recommend it for older travelers.

    The location was right next to the funicular that everyone recommended. It was also right around the corner from a pedestrian street with shops and restaurants.

    The rooms for our 2nd stay are not so clean, noisy. The windows are broken and cannot be opened. We left our luggages at the hotel for 2 nights when we went to Chur and we would come back to stay another 1 night at this hotel. There is no standard price for luggage storage. First lady on check in date said 20 chf for 4 bags. Other lady on check out date said 80 chf. But after negotiated, we paid 40 chf.

    Location is good, near train station and attraction places. Many restaurants near hotel. Good staffs and there are coffee and tea at ground floor, free for guest.

    It was very hot in our room so we had to leave the windows open overnight and unfortunately there was ongoing construction right outside our window until 4am preventing sleep. We don’t fault the hotel for this, just note that the rooms are hot. They do provide a fan which was very helpful

    Great location, view over the river.

    The bathroom was particularly small and dated though still very clean.

    The location of this hotel is excellent as very close to the train station and right in the city centre. It is a basic hotel but very clean and functional. I asked for twin beds and they were very comfortable. The only thing missing was air conditioning but there was a large fan which worked well and kept us cool. The staff were nice and friendly.

    There was no air conditioning in the rooms. For most of the year, that is not an issue, but for the summer it can make the rooms and the hotel stuffy.

    The location is amazing! Tram, trains and other public transport options were right outside the hotel's front door. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable! The water pressure is great and the bathroom is a good size.
