Hotel room was comfortable, the breakfast was adequate ( although not worth the coast) and convenient. However the motel charged me a no show fee when I was making my reservation the website kicked me out, when I returned I thought my registration date was set. The website reset the date for the day I was making the reservation. So I was charged double for my one stay.
Comfortable and functional room with compact bathroom facilities. Reported the bathroom fan was not working as excessive steam built up in the small bathroom making it difficult to see without having to leave the door open. Opted to eat breakfast out due to close proximity of top rated cafes. Bar/lounge area was a little tired in areas. We used the bar service in the evenings we stayed and unfortunately the bar/waiting staff got our order incorrect each time.
Everything was great, just a couple of observations: 1) Sometimes I had to wait for someone to show up at the lounge bar (in the morning); 2) You could include a complementary bottle of water in the hotel room.
good
Very nice hotel with outdoor sitting area. Nice rooms and bar.
Good location, clean, friendly staff. Recommend!
This was an amazing find. Great value and top notch service. The room and location excellent as was the staff. Would definitely recommend.
I have stayed at your Zurich motel twice now and like it very much. However on both occasions the TV in the room didn;t work (kept switching off on my first stay and then didn't go on at all on my second). You should also provide some complimentary water in the room - I think this is a must have too. Other than that it is a nice place.
Everything is excellent, from the staff to room to amazing breakfast spread. Nothing to fault.
We loved the hotel and it was close to the old town. Two things that we felt needed improvement though were: the cooling system was not working so our rooms got very hot at night, and some of the staff were a bit rude! We did feel like the hotel was good value for money.
too crowded, impossible to have breakfast, no gym, bottle of water CHF 10
Great hotel, staff and service.
The hotel is centrally located and allowed easy access to many restaurants and shops. The public tram system is near by so we were able to move around with relative ease. The hotel staff was very helpful and made the stay memorable.
Had a wonderful stay-staff was very helpful. I would stay there again in the future.
clean and simple
Very good location close to Stockerstrasse Tram and to Coop/Migros stores.Very efficient check in/out. Nice to give water bottle free. Great lounge area with bar offers space and privacy. Room spartanisch but clean. Absolutely fine. All provide one needs for a short stayover. Add shoehorn please
There didnt seem to be any added niceties of staying here - no tea or coffee in room, no fridge. It was adequate but considering the cost i was surprised by how little you get.
No shower caps, no slippers & no body lotion available in the room
Nice hotel. Good bar area and breakfast area.
Perfect location, friendly staff always available, clean and soundproof room. Bravo!
I was disappointed with my room - it was compact and the door to the bathroom didn't open fully due to it hitting the bed when it was half way open. There was no drinking water in the room and no telephone to call down to reception. Having arrived reasonably late at night, heading up to the 4th floor to then discover I had a question for reception and having to head back down instead of simply calling on an internal phone was frustrating. Bottled water, a mini fridge and a telephone for calling reception are basic amenities expected in a four star hotel. Breakfast was continental and fine - location was good, not too far off the Bahnhofstrasse. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Very good. Rooms are confortable and spacious. Nice location, nice facilities. Only thing that can be improved is the selection of products in the breakfast.
Removing the endless city construction, I had a wonderful stay. The room was great. The staff was friendly and helpful. Will stay again!
very nice hotel, good breakfast that could be improved with a wider choich of natural/healthy products. I did not like the corridor carpet they installed during my week stay, it was too a chemical kind and smelly.
Great Hotel, location is ideal and staff are friendly and accommodating. My go to place in Zurich.
Great breakfast. Comfortable room, but there are no tea / coffee facilities in the room - this needs fixing.
Great location. Very clean. Disappointed no kettle in room
We had a lovely stay The lack of coffee/tea making facilities in the room was very disappointing and impacted on our stay
Staff is cold and rather unpleasant, but typical of Zürich
Good ..beautiful property and location Complimentary availability of coffee machines and tea for guests would have been appreciated Breakfast could be better with atleast something warm available or made to request Also phones to reach out to reception if anything and bins in the room were missing
Perfect
Staff, rooms, service - all 10+
This isn't my first time staying at a Motel One. The stay was very nice; the rooms are spacious and clean. If there had been a kettle with tea and coffee making facilities in the room, the rating would definitely be a 10.
thank you Ioannis for fast and kind service and great coffee
Still a lot of things missing, no coffee machine, nor phone (not working at all) in the room and also besides soap (was also not working) no articles in the bath. Toast in the bar downstairs was sooo bad and simple that a 5 year old kid could do it better and it was sold like a Mediterranean style toast. Really bad…. Breakfast was okay Shower was full of limescale on the floor.
My 15th stay with you and as ever always a pleasure. Smooth experience for the entire stay, and always great to see familiar faces at breakfast as always. I look forward to returning again soon.
Room was very quiet. For our business trip it was good location. As for the breakfast I missed eggs and sausages, but otherwise it was good.
1) heating did not work 2) quite frequent client had an issue with the room (due to the booking agency) not solved...
Great
small rooms, good place near city, breakfast without scrambled eggs, relaxed atmosphere
this is incredible to not have fridge in the rooms. there are so much purchases could not made by us in the city due to lack of fridge. this is the most common unsatisfactory thing but very very dissapointing actually. only for just one cheap fridge we cannot be satisfied from our stay.
Clean, comfortable and friendly staff
I am a MotelOne member and I have stayed in this hotel multiple times as I am a regular visitor to Zürich. On this occasion the stay did not meet my expectations. We stayed Thursday and Friday night and on both mornings we were awoken by loud, regular banging on the door at 09:15/09:30. I had specified that we were there for leisure in my stay. We also raised this on our departure and the receptionist was quite rude/unhelpful to say it is due to a lot of business travelers, which I don’t think is acceptable.
great location, friendly staff, clean room, fair price..., to only minus no parking. but hey, if you on foot there is not much better in central ZRH!
Very friendly staff - ready to assist in any requests Nice place clean and excellent location Our stay was very pleasant and enjoyed every moment The bar was fantastic 🤩
Always a pleasure!
The reception and breakfast staff are excellent, the location is ideal, and the room size is perfect for a single guest. The only thing I missed was a gym—even a small one would have been nice.
Very friendly Team. Highly appriciate all your kindness.
The room was fine but for that price and 3 stars I'd expect at least a kettle with coffee/tea selection. It's a standard offer in Europe. I didn't go to breakfasts as my colleagues told me that it was only cold buffet.
Great experience as always!

Zurich
“Grüezi!” from Switzerland!
Switzerland’s largest city boasts a high standard of living and a distinctive setting between the Alps and the lovely Lake Zurich, making it a favourite with visitors. Motel One is, of course, on hand in this exciting city: our Design Hotel is just a short stroll from the lake shore offers individually designed rooms, cosy box-spring beds and free WiFi. At our centrally-located Zurich hotel, you can feel at home, start your day with a healthy breakfast and take in the best aspects of the city. Zurich is renowned for its shopping, fashion and lively night-life, and its numerous museums, galleries and international labels attract art and fashion aficionados from around the world. High time you put in a visit!
Budget Design Hotels in Zurich – your Motel One
Even though Zurich is Switzerland’s largest city and trendsetter, visitors will find it surprisingly compact to explore. Or you may prefer to pull on the hiking boots and use Zurich simply as a base for excursions into the surrounding countryside and wealth of nearby mountains. However, there is plenty to discover within the city limits too. Our hotel is not far from Paradeplatz, a square lined with banks and luxury boutiques where the city’s prosperity is on full display.
Carrying on down Poststrasse, you can’t miss the Fraumünster Church. One of three churches in the Old Town, the Fraumünster looks back over the centuries next to the equally imposing Stadthaus.
A visit to the Zurich-West district shows why trend scouts and travel guides alike have listed Zurich as a destination not to be missed. Once humming with industry, the area is now a focal point of the bar and art scenes, hosting experimental cuisine, artistic fancies and the sort of mad creativity that no-one would have thought possible in the Zurich of only a few years ago – or anywhere in Switzerland, in fact. What makes the place perhaps so special is the fact that this transformation is still ongoing, and subcultural influences are still to be seen with all the appurtenant charm and chaos.
Lake Zurich, the Opera House and the Swiss National Museum
When you’re ready to take a break from the bustle of the city, head for the shores of lovely Lake Zurich. Even though it’s right by the town (and our affordable Design Hotel too), it’s a place of leafy tranquillity. Spread out on the grass or sample the local cuisine in a lakeside café or restaurant.
The renowned Opera House is also found right by the lakeside. It houses audience of over a thousand, and has its own ballet company of 50 or so dancers. Zurich really does have something for everyone. Our Design Hotel staff can gladly advise you on what to see, whether you want to do it all, keep it minimal, concentrate on the old or focus on the new.
