“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.”

Convenient and Honest

honest staffcentral locationnoisy room
The staff was honest. They emailed me about a wallet I left behind. I was able to retrieve it quickly. The location is central to cafes and within walking distance of the train station. I watched the cable cars near the building go up and down. The staff was very kind.
The room faced the main road, so it wasn't quiet. This was on the third floor. All in all, it was fine though.
