Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Best Western Plus Hotel Zuercherhof is appreciated for its convenient location, within walking distance of Zurich's main train station and attractions like Zurich University. Guests frequently mention the well-equipped rooms, some noting the benefit of soundproofed windows, tea/coffee facilities and comfortable beds. A highlight for many is the complimentary mini-bar and the free access to water, fruits or ice cream in the reception area, whilst the breakfast buffet, with hot items cooked to order, is also a favorite; however, a few guests have found some rooms to be on the smaller side.
