Hotel Krone Unterstrass

Hotel Krone Unterstrass Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Hotel Krone Unterstrass on Schaffhauserstrasse, you immediately get that feeling of discovering something locals have been keeping to themselves. This four-star property sits in the Unterstrass district — honestly, one of those neighborhoods that feels authentically Swiss without the tourist crowds you’ll find closer to the lake. The building itself has this understated elegance that’s very Zurich — nothing flashy, but you can tell there’s quality behind every detail.

The Neighborhood Advantage

Here’s what I love about this location — you’re actually living like a local for a few days. Unterstrass has this residential charm where you’ll pass Swiss families heading to work in the morning, but you’re still just a tram ride away from the main attractions. The couples who stay here seem to really get it (they rate the location 8.8, which honestly makes sense). There’s something romantic about strolling these quieter streets in the evening, maybe grabbing dinner at one of the neighborhood spots that don’t make it into guidebooks.

Your Room Experience

The room I stayed in was what I’d call Swiss-practical meets genuine comfort. You know how some hotels try too hard with the design? Not here — everything just works perfectly. The space felt thoughtfully arranged, with enough storage that I wasn’t living out of my suitcase for once. What struck me most was how quiet everything was, despite being on a main street. I mean, when you’re paying Zurich prices, a good night’s sleep isn’t too much to ask for, right?

Breakfast and Practical Perks

The breakfast buffet actually impressed me — and I’m usually pretty skeptical about hotel breakfasts. They’ve got the Swiss staples covered, but also enough variety that you won’t get bored if you’re staying several days. What really sets this place apart though is the parking situation. Finding a spot in Zurich can be absolutely brutal, so having private parking available feels like winning the lottery. Plus, there’s something to be said for a hotel where people keep coming back — apparently they have way more repeat guests than most places, which tells you something about the experience.

Why Guests Love It

Look, Zurich isn’t exactly known for budget-friendly accommodations, but Hotel Krone Unterstrass delivers that sweet spot of value and quality that’s getting harder to find. The staff seems to genuinely care about your stay rather than just going through the motions. It’s the kind of place where you feel comfortable asking for local recommendations, and they’ll actually give you useful answers. When recent guests are rating the location 8.7, and couples specifically are loving it, you know you’re onto something good. It’s not trying to be the fanciest hotel in the city — it’s just focused on being really, really good at what it does.

Reviews of Hotel Krone Unterstrass

• Exceptional – Rosemary from United States of America (9/10)

  We spent one night during a heatwave and the room was very nice, the A/C was great, and next time I'd love to stay here longer. It was a beautiful property with a great location.

• Great stay, would definetly stay again when visiting Zurich – Brenton from United Kingdom (8/10)

  Check in staff, friendly and super efficient. I made a room request prior to my arrival which they were able to provide. I had a standard single room which was comfortable and a good size. Super convenient to tram stop into the central part of town, a few stops from the main train station. Room was great value for a city like Zurich. Bathroom small but more than ok for a single person or couple. Ate at the onsite restaurant which was good albeit slightly pricey. I didn’t eat the breakfast so can’t comment.

• A very good hotel to stay in Zurich – Kartman from Canada (9/10)

  1. Hotel is located in a god place with lots of restaurants and supermarkets in the walking distance.
  2. Tram stops in both directions is in front of the hotel, it takes round 20 minutes to get to/from the Zurich airport by tram and train and 13-15 minutes by car.
  3. Friendly and helpful staff, I was allowed to leave the car for several hours at hotel parking lot for free.
  4. Hotel has its own parking lot at the back of the building which are quite wide so you are not afraid to scratch the car.
  5. A very good and varied breakfast, the coffee is brought by a waitress in a pot with a separate small pot with milk.
  6. Cozy clean room with quite big bed with soft pillows, small table and a cozy chair.
  7. There's a good restaurant at the hotel working quite late so you do not need to go anywhere if you want to eat in the evening.
