Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hotel Limmathof enjoys a brilliant location, convenient to the main train station and tram lines, which many guests appreciate for easy access to the airport and day trips. The rooms are often described as spacious, featuring comfortable beds and sometimes a generously sized bathroom. While some guests have noted the street noise when windows are open, the hotel's proximity to public transport, supermarkets, and attractions still makes it a good value for money, with complimentary tea and coffee being a plus.

central gem

convenient location train station diverse selection tv channels

the location proved convenient, given its close proximity to both the main train station and various tram lines. a diverse selection of restaurants stood conveniently within walking distance. the presence of uk tv channels in the room was particularly appreciated.

The absence of air conditioning was slightly inconvenient. Opening the windows was necessary, though it did introduce some external noise.

Service

the front desk staff showed great cute attitude and efficiency. they also provided adapters for plugs when my own did not fit, a very helpful gesture, however they could run out.

lack of air conditioning small bathroom

the location is excellent, near the central station, convenient for my travel needs.

The lack of air conditioning in the room was a significant drawback. The provided fan offered minimal relief from the heat. additionally, the bathroom was very small, it made maneuvering quite difficult..
