Hotel Felix - A Renovated Old Town Zurich Hotel with Rooftop Terrace and City Views

Located in Niederdorf, the historic heart of Zurich's Old Town, this 3-star Zurich hotel stands within 0.5 miles of the Swiss National Museum and the Museum of Art. Hotel Felix features soundproofed rooms equipped with flat-screen TVs, minibars, and walk-in rain showers with Natural Remedies products. The property's crown jewel, the Loft Suite, includes a private roof terrace, a freestanding bathtub, and a 180x210 cm twin bed. A lobby serves coffee throughout the day and evening drinks, while the glorious rooftop terrace provides panoramic city views. Felix positions guests 0.5 miles from Bahnhofstrasse and Paradeplatz, with the Fraumunster Church and Buerkliplatz also within walking distance.

Pros

Historic Niederdorf location surrounded by cafes, galleries, and boutiques

Comprehensive room soundproofing throughout the property

Barrier-free rooms available for accessibility

Sustainability certified by Switzerland Tourism

Cons

10-minute walk to nearest public parking at Urania

1.5 miles distance to Zoo Zurich

“The location proves ideal: a short walk from the train station and the old town's attractions. The family-friendly services set it apart, as does the artistic decor, which aims to elevate the guest experience. The rooftop terrace likely seals the deal, promising city views that are not to be missed.”

Feedback about Hotel Felix from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel Felix is often praised for its modern design and convenient location, a short walk from Zurich's main train station (Zürich HB) and close to the ETH. Many guests have enjoyed the excellent breakfast offered, along with the comfort of the spacious rooms, some featuring a kitchen and a large table; the rooftop terrace offers incredible views. While some guests have noted the absence of air conditioning in street-side rooms, especially during warmer periods, they found the rooms manageable. the hotel is near the river and restaurants, and close to a lift to a scenic viewpoint.

okay stay with some issues

inadequate air conditioningloud noise
the room lacked proper air conditioning, very hot. a fan WAS provided, but it barely helped and shut off every few hours. the noise from nearby bars also made it difficult to sleep with the windows open. street parking WAS difficult to find, because the hotel's parking was full.
