“Hotel Bristol Zurich impresses with its location; within a short walk, you're at the train station, in the old town, or browsing Bahnhofstrasse. The rooms are comfortable, if classically European in size, and the team seems genuinely dedicated to ensuring a smooth stay. A reliable choice, in my opinion, for Zurich.”

convenient location attentive staff clean room dated design awkward chair missing towel

The location was really convenient. It was just a short walk to the central train station. I also found the staff to be very helpful and attentive.. The room was clean. Air conditioning was indeed a plus.

The room design felt a bit dated. The chair at the desk made it awkward to work comfortably. I noticed I only had two thin hand towels. A full-size towel was missing.
