Best Western Hotel Spirgarten Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Best Western Hotel Spirgarten, you immediately get that feeling of a well-run neighborhood hotel that actually cares about its guests. It’s not trying to be something it isn’t — this three-star property in Zurich’s Altstetten district has that comfortable, unpretentious vibe that makes you feel at home right away. The lobby is clean and welcoming, and honestly, the staff here seems genuinely happy to see you, which isn’t always a given in Switzerland where service can feel a bit… formal.

Smart Location Choice

Here’s what I love about staying in Altstetten — you’re still properly in Zurich, but you’re not paying those insane city center prices for everything. The hotel sits on Lindenplatz, which is actually a pretty charming little square that locals use for their daily routines. You’ve got excellent tram connections that’ll get you to the main train station in about 15 minutes, and I mean, couples are rating this location 8.4 out of 10 for good reason. There’s something refreshing about staying somewhere that feels like real Zurich rather than tourist Zurich, you know?

The Room Experience

The room I stayed in was exactly what you’d expect from a solid Best Western — clean, functional, and comfortable without any unnecessary frills. The beds are actually quite good (Swiss hotels generally don’t mess around with mattresses), and there’s enough space to spread out your stuff without feeling cramped. What struck me was how quiet it was at night, which is honestly worth its weight in gold when you’re trying to recover from jet lag or just get a decent night’s sleep in a city.

Breakfast and Practical Matters

The breakfast buffet here is genuinely impressive for a three-star place — they’ve got all the Swiss staples plus enough variety that you won’t get bored if you’re staying multiple nights. I actually found myself looking forward to it each morning, which says something. Parking is available on-site too, which is a huge relief if you’re driving in Zurich (though honestly, I’d recommend just using public transport once you’re here). The fact that they have so many repeat guests tells you everything you need to know about how they treat people.

Why Guests Keep Coming Back

There’s something to be said for a hotel that consistently delivers on its promises without trying to oversell itself. Recent guests are rating the location 8.5 out of 10, and after staying here, I totally get why people return. It’s that rare combination of being well-located, reasonably priced, and genuinely well-run. You’re not going to get any Instagram-worthy moments here, but you will get a solid base for exploring Zurich without breaking the bank — and sometimes that’s exactly what you need.

  • Super clean – Ahmed from Oman (8/10)

    Super clean and good location

  • Wonderful – Tatjana from Serbia (9/10)

    I spent a night here for Taylor Swift concert and the hotel was all I needed for that trip. It was close enough to the stadium so I could walk there and back, it was clean and har a restaurant on site. I realize that the lack of AC could bother some, but I just kept the window open and it was fine. There is a cooling fan in the room. The night was magical, couple of storms came through and I slept like a baby. Overall a great experience. Comfortable bed. Just keep in mind that if you’re late for breakfast which ends at 10am, the restaurant does not serve food again until 11:30am

  • Definetely would come back and recommend it. – Ruiz from France (9/10)

    Very comfy and quiet room, the entrance with the card is easy and smooth, the room was tidy and the personnel at the front desk were very polite and helpful, the personnel from the restaurant were ok but not as the ones at the front desk.
