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.

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

Great location- 7 min walk to the lake .... on #3 tram from the train station.
