Top hotels in District 2
Motel One Zürich
Staff were very friendly and helpful. Location is pretty good. Public spaces were nice. Was given a room opposite the elevator and could hear noisy conversations as people gathered here. Borrowed an iron which was faulty and didn’t work. Breakfast was poor for the price paid.

Glärnischhof by Trinity
Rooms very very dated, toilet smelt of damp, crack in bath, beds uncomfortable, breakfast not good at all. Very disappointing for the price paid.
