“Hotel Limmathof's prime location, a stone's throw from Zurich's main train station and the edge of the old town, makes it an ideal base for exploring. While the rooms are simple, they're clean and comfortable, and the friendly staff adds to the welcoming atmosphere. I particularly appreciated the river views from some rooms, though light sleepers might want to request a room away from the tram lines.”
