The whole theme of the hotel is pretty cute: walls bedecked with rockstar memorabilia, and rooms named after rock singers/groups. The nightclub in the hotel is great and can get pretty crowded during the weekends by both tourists and locals. Location is fantastic, exactly in the middle of the fascinating old-town, close to all the restaurants, bars, and nightclubs. The... more

Most of the other reviews have captured the essence of this hotel. It's in the middle of the old town close to lots of the bars and cafes, it's a three minute walk to the station and with the Swiss transport system you can get to pretty much anywhere from there. If you're looking for a luxury hotel don't come... more

I must say I am surprised to read some of the reviews of the Zic Zac below. I chanced upon this hotel in 1998, was delighted to find somewhere so (comparatively) cheap in Zürich, and have made it my base there three or four times since. Switzerland is a very expensive place for most non-Swiss, so finding a place like... more

It wasn't as bad as i expected after i saw the reviews. i thought it would be creepy and dirty, it turned out to be a fine hotel for the cost. If you're expecting a luxarious hotel then this is not the choice. I was there for 1 night with a friend and we had no problem with the room.... more

Well what would one expect for paying 80CHF per night at a hotel in Zurich Switzerland.First off Zurich is not an inexpensive place to begin with.The Hotel Zic Zac is centrally located about 1/4 mile or 1/2 km. from the Main Train Station. The rooms are quite "artsy" in their little ways.This is a place where budget travelers who are... more

Pretty bad, not clean, no night table lights, (no night tables) creaky, creepy, smelly, no drinking glasses, rather Bates Motel! In summer I recommend to sleep under a bridge than in Zig Zag. more

Booked a night at the Zic Zac because we needed a place that was close to the train station and a reasonable price. We were only there for one night, which was enough. The bed was clean and comfortable, but the rest of the place was questionable. Dingy carpet, moldy shower with no light, creaky floors and low ceilings (my... more

Without going on and on, suffice it to say that you are better to just pay a little more and ENJOY your stay elsewhere. After a disappointing Zic Zac experience, we went to a lovely hotel (centrally located and FRIENDLY ! ) and when I remember the name I'll post it ....and / or contact me . Zic Zac's staff... more

Concerning the Zic Zac Rock Hotel...This hotel is not Buckingham Palace. But I'll say this... it's clean, in my opionion. The staff was friendly and helpful. The location is perfect. In fact, you can't get a better location in Zurich. You can hear loud sounds at night if loud people are nearby, but outside of that, I can't say anything... more
