Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Fred Hotel Hauptbahnhof - Self Check-In is frequently praised for its very central location, with Zurich's main train station just a short walk away, making it easy to get around and explore the city.

Decent Stay Near the Station

convenient locationcomfortable bedfree coffeeinconvenient plugscramped liftsmall room

The hotel's location is fantastic! It is very close to the train station. The room was clean. I found the bed comfortable. The coffee machine on each floor was helpful. I could get coffee easily.

The power plug positions were odd! It was difficult to access them. The lift was small. There were long intervals. The room felt cramped. It was a little disappointing.

convenient locationcomplimentary coffeecramped roombathroom lock

I found the location convenient. IT IS right next to the main train station. The complimentary coffee and tea on each floor were a welcome amenity. I especially liked the water bottles provided daily in the room.

The room size felt a little cramped. THE bathroom lacked a proper lock, somewhat inconvenient. I also noticed some noise from the hallway late at night.
