Best Western Plus Hotel Zürcherhof

Best Western Plus Hotel Zürcherhof Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Best Western Plus Hotel Zürcherhof, you immediately get that feeling of being right in the thick of things. This three-star property sits on Zähringerstrasse, which honestly couldn’t be better positioned if you tried — you’re literally steps from Zurich’s main train station and the bustling Bahnhofstrasse shopping district. The lobby has this clean, modern Swiss vibe without being stuffy, and the staff actually seem genuinely happy to help rather than just going through the motions.

Location Magic

Here’s what I love about staying here — you can walk to pretty much everything that matters in Zurich. The old town is a pleasant five-minute stroll, Lake Zurich is maybe ten minutes if you’re taking your time, and those famous Swiss chocolate shops? They’re practically on your doorstep. I mean, couples consistently rate this location a 9.3 out of 10, and after spending time here, I totally get why. You’re not stuck in some business district that dies after 6 PM — this area stays lively but never feels overwhelming.

The Room Experience

The rooms are what you’d expect from a well-run Best Western Plus — clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed without any unnecessary frills. Each room feels properly Swiss with quality linens and that attention to detail you notice in little things like the lighting and storage space. They’re not huge by American standards, but honestly, when you’re this close to everything Zurich offers, you’re barely going to be hanging around your room anyway. The windows actually open (which I always appreciate), and the beds are genuinely comfortable after long days of walking around the city.

Breakfast Worth Waking Up For

You know what surprised me? The breakfast spread here is actually impressive for a three-star hotel. They’ve got continental options, but also vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free choices that don’t feel like afterthoughts. The buffet setup works well — no long lines or fighting over the last croissant — and if you’re rushing to catch an early train, they’ll sort you out with breakfast to go. It’s one of those details that makes your morning smoother, especially when you’re trying to maximize your time exploring.

Why Guests Love It

This place works because it gets the fundamentals right without trying to be something it’s not. The 8.5 rating reflects exactly what you experience — solid, reliable hospitality in an absolutely prime location. You’re paying for that Zurich address, sure, but you’re also getting genuine value when you factor in how much time and money you’ll save on transportation. Plus, the staff seem to understand that most guests are here to explore the city, so they’re full of practical advice about everything from which trams to take to where locals actually eat lunch.
