ibis Styles Zurich City Center

Cheap city centre hotel so not expecting the Ritz. Rooms could do with a bit of tlc and lighting is horrible.

Close to the Limmat, walking distance to the Old Town, Lake Zurich, and many public transport options close by.

We were so pleasantly surprised by the amenities at Ibis Styles City Center Zurich. There is a great 24 hour "convenience" store in the lobby for any extras you need food or otherwise. The check-was seamless and although we arrived early, Aldo at the front desk was able to get us into our room right away without an additional early check-in charge we found so irritating at other facilities. There is an amazing restaurant/bar right off the lobby, with stunning decor and a great food choice from breakfast through dinner. Breakfast is NOT included, but we didn't expect it to be. We ate in the restaurant twice for dinner and loved the service from Kersten and Eleonora, who went above and beyond. There is a very adequate fitness center with up to date equipment that has all "functions" working. Great little sauna, as well, all free to persons staying at the hotel. The location was within easy walking distance of the train station, and access to walks along the river in downtown Zurich. The room was comfortable (great shower) and had a very appealing modern decor, but the air circulation wasn't great for the air conditioning (we stayed during an extremely hot time). When we mentioned it at the desk, Aldo (again - great guy), grabbed us two fans for the room and that did the trick to keep things circulation. Window-door does open and has with motorized blinds but we kept the room closed to conserve the cool air. I would definitely stay here again, and highly recommend.
