Centra Hotel Zurich

The hotel was in a bit of a boring location about 15 minutes from the airport. The staff person at the hotel was super friendly and helpful, but the room was too warm, a bit cramped, the comforter made me sweat at night and you couldn’t really control the temperature of the room. Opening the window helped but the traffic noise made you want to close it. It was annoying having to use a key to exit the hotel after hours. Switzerland is so safe I don’t understand the need for this extra security. The breakfast was decent but for 15 Swiss francs, it was mediocre. Of course, everything in Switzerland is expensive. Ultimately, while the staff person was super, I wouldn’t return to the hotel. (There was also a weird smell in the hallway…sigh) …and the neighboring restaurant Nextdoor had good food but the waiter was not the sharpest - not to be overly critical.

The staff member who checked us in started our stay off brilliantly. So friendly and helpful which was so pleasant. Offered help and advice on travelling into Zurich, which was about 35mins by bus. We picked this hotel as we could park our hire car for free, securely underground too which was a massive benefit for the price. We was offered breakfast for a great rate and that had loads of options with pastries, cereals, coffee and normal European choices of meats and cheese with fresh bread. Our room although slightly dated was extremely clean and comfortable. A good size, with fresh linen as you’d expect and a very comfortable bed. Personally, how clean and comfortable a room is, is far more important to me and my partner than how modern a room may look. Hotel feels in a safe location. Highly recommend this stay!

Short airport stay, nice staff, free room upgrade, free parking, convenient location

A place to at least get bottled water, a vending machine maybe, since you are basically in the middle of nowhere and the desk is not staffed 24 hrs. You would have to take a bus to next town to even get a bottle of water.

friendly and helpful staff.
