Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently highlight the cleanliness and spaciousness of the rooms at Fred Hotel Leonhardstrasse, along with the modern decor and the convenience of having a tram stop right outside for easy access to the airport and other parts of Zurich. The self check-in process and luggage lockers, accessible via the Fred App, are frequently praised for their practicality. Some guests have found the walk from the main train station a little uphill, but overall, the location, within walking distance of the river and restaurants, is considered ideal.
