At Fred Hotel Hauptbahnhof - Self Check-in, travellers consistently praise the ultra-convenient location by Zürich HB and the bus/tram stops, clean modern rooms, and friendly staff, with many finding the digital self check-in straightforward and time-saving.
However, several reviews note very compact rooms, occasional street or construction noise, and mixed experiences with air conditioning or fan-only rooms. Amenities are simple: coffee/tea stations are available, but in-room fridges or kettles are often absent. Breakfast is widely regarded as good to excellent, though a few found it average or served in a nearby building. Expect a clean, efficient stay centered on convenience.

Good small room with two separate small beds up against the wall. I stayed in the guest floor top floor. The Room has AC which very rare in this area near Zurich HB. Zurich HB is literally half a block away. shower and bath is actually rather large for the room. Shower is particularly roomy with good water pressure. Bed was comfy with one pillow each. Elevator is small. Two adults or 1 adult with a big suitcase. Overall if i had to spend a night near the train station for an early train that i can't miss, i would stay here again. BTW parking at the guest house is like 2 spots in an alley next to it. Itll likely be full. HERTZ rental is 1 block away.

This economy hotel is great for an overnight or single-night traveler who needs to be near the main station (Hauptbahnhof). It's literally located around the corner (one block) from the train station. The room was clean and the basic furnishings included everything a traveler would typically require. The breakfast in the main hotel (one block away) was very good, with lots of food and drink choices. The hotel is meant to be "self-serve" (keyless check-in and entry using your mobile phone and/or their app), so our only interactions with staff were during breakfast, and they were great. It's comfortable, with a decent self-serve coffee machine in the lobby. Good WiFi. All good!

My friend and I loved our stay here. The property was very clean, they offered complimentary coffee at every corner on each floor (it was self serve). The bed was super comfy and the location is perfect for travelers. It’s right next the the train station and there’s also a tram stop right across the street so it’s was extremely easy to get around Zürich!

Oda bakımlı ve çok temizdi, kahvaltı yeterliydi, otelin konumu mükemmeldi. Odada su ısıtıcısı yoktu, kat koridorunda kahve makinesi vardı. Ancak, klima gürültülü çalışıyordu ve odada buzdolabı yoktu.

チェックイン前に荷物を預けたところ、もう清掃が終わっているからと、早めにチェックインさせてもらえてありがたかった。 朝食もおいしかった。 部屋にエアコンがついていたので、暑い夏でも快適に過ごせた。 ゲストハウスタイプなので、本館より少し部屋が狭いのは承知の上。 入り口からエレベーターまでの道が階段しかないのが、少しだけ不便だった。

Rooms were very small -- but everything else was superb. Very clean, comfortable, accessible, friendly staff, fine breafkast, and right next to the tram and hauptbanhof. Could get a little noisy at night if the window is open, but a small price to pay all things considered... I would stay again for sure!

When we checked in, we were told we booked room at guest house that didn’t have an air conditioner. Then we paid more to stay at the hotel instead of guest house. When we got there, there were bugs and our 14 year old had to sleep on an uncomfortable sofa bed. We were scared of going to sleep with the bugs. The worst part= After we checked out next morning, i told hotel about the bugs and they didn’t care. This was actually the most expensive hotel we stayed at and the least comfortable.

The hotel is nice a close to the train station, but about 1 mile from places to see and shop. It is difficult to find the hotel, and you need to walk through the train station to get to it, but we made it work

The room for one was about as basic as it gets but included a private bathroom. Breakfast buffet was quite good, and there was free coffee available around the clock in the lobby and on each floor. The location was superb, on the bank of the Sihl and a two-minute walk from Zurich Central Station. In hot weather, the powerful air-conditioning system was greatly appreciated.

Friendly, helpful staff! The rooms are small, we were referring to them as our dorm rooms😄, but they are clean and comfortable. We were very happy with our overnight stay. The breakfast was nice and had good options. I eat a continental breakfast typically so I wasn’t In need of pancakes or omelets. The train station is maybe five minutes away and the old town a pleasant walk. Very close to the Swiss History museum and Kunsthaus.

Very clean and well kept. I booked a single small room (not sure how big of a room you can get). The room was fine - it is very small, smaller than a cabin on a cruise ship. Everything in the room was operational and ‘like new’. Air conditioning was wonderful! Great location near the train and bus station.

The people at the reception were cold and borderline rude (typical German/swiss). The room did not look anything like the online pictures when we made our reservation. The bathrooms are tiny, and if you have a 3rd person in your room, they are better off getting their own room as our room had a pull out sofa which was hard and uncomfortable.

The Fred Guest House was a one-night stay so that we could be conveniently at the Zurich Bahnhof Train Station the next morning to conveniently take the train to the airport. As such, my wife and I chose an inexpensive (for Switzerland), no-frills hotel. The check-in process was all electronic and done in advance. This should have been convenient, but there were odd issues with verifying my personal information and with the web page itself that required multiple attempts. Once checked in, we received an electronic key to be activated by phone off their web page. The absence of any physical key might be complicated for some, and even unlocking some doors required patience. Our actual room was really tiny, with barely any space to lay anything out. There was no desk, only a small night stand on one side, and a small open cabinet at the corner. There was no air conditioning, though a floor fan was somewhat useful in providing circulation. Our room also faced the street, so we were able to cool the room by opening the window. The bathroom was also tiny, with nowhere to really place any clothes or belongings. If we were staying for more than one night, this would have been a very frustrating place of lodging. But as it was only one night, we just made do. I'd recommend this place for anyone trying to be as frugal as possible while staying in a central and convenient area. But the room itself is really quite constricted, and multiple days would be tough for many.

Had a wonderful stay. We can’t open the door when we got to the hotel. A worker directed us to another building and given a bigger room ( no extra charge). The following day, another worker was extremely helpful in giving us directions ( short cut) to the train station. Very clean. Friendly staff. Coffee/tea/ hot water available at no charge.

I loved this hotel, stayed 5 nights and had a problem the last night which was handled with kindness. If I go back to Zurich I will stay there again. Breakfast was good, housekeeping was good, location perfect and good restaurants everywhere. Front desk was always helpful.

Location
Exceptionally central next to Zürich HB and the tour bus/tram stops, making sightseeing and transfers easy; some guests report street or construction noise around the area.

Perfect for convenience to Zürich HBF—literally a 30 second walk to track 18 and entrance to the station concourse. The neighborhood is fine and requires only a 15 minute walk to the main restaurant and shopping streets in town. The rooms are small and basic, but also new and very clean. Great value for the price, especially because we selected the property for access to the trains.

Simple, clean room. Conveniently located near Central Train Station in Zurich. Also very close to the bus station making catching tour buses very easy. The neighborhood was pretty loud at night on the weekends due to merrymakers - made sleep a bit difficult until it died down.

Wonderful stay in Fred! It’s close proximity to the Zurich HB makes everything easy and convenient. There is also a tram station right at the hotel door step. Hotel breakfast is decent and good. Comfy bed and clean rooms. We have chosen Fred when we flew in to zurich and once again, when we flew our from zurich.

Right next to train station in a not so nice area. The room and bathroom was very small. A lot of construction and noise around the hotel. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Near to train station. Convenient to take the train to any other cities for sight seeing. Many restaurants nearby and also have big supermarkets. The breakfast was a let down. Not worth paying for the breakfast.

Lovely modern room located steps from the train station and various museums and attractions and central to several tram lines. Concierge was very helpful at recommending places to eat and things to do. Great breakfast with breads, meats, cheeses, scrambled eggs, and hot and cold cereals, juice, coffees, etc..

An ok place but incredibly small and noisy. Self checkin via email only. $25 breakfast is down the street at another hotel. Given how expensive Zurich is the place is ok in that its a 5 min walk from the train station

The hotel and rooms were very clean. The single room could use a second pillow and second towel, both of which I got when asked for them. The staff was pleasant and helpful and the breakfast was plentiful. The air conditioner was a big plus on the hot days.
