  • Attractive, high quality.
  • Paying for internet.

“Convenient to airport, dining expensive. More business oriented than for tourists, but a very nice hotel. I was dissappointed when I couldn't use the pool for an entire weekend as it was closed for maintenence”

  • Rented two rooms, both smelled bad. It was pretty disgusting.

“Lots of problems with this hotel: Parking was $25/night, food was $30 for a egg breakfast, rooms smelled disgusting. Got two rooms, one for the kids, and the hotel couldn't/wouldn't put them near each other unless we upgraded to a suite.”

  • Large clean rooms, and helpful staff.
  • $35
    per day for internet.

“Great place if you don't need internet access. Very clean, very nice staff, great access with a tram stop just out front to go downtown, or to the airport. My big issue is the $35 per day they want for internet access is appalling in this day and age. Heck, my hotel in Paris, and in the Alps around Interlaken both had free internet, yet a random hotel on the outskirts of Zürich wants a ridiculous sum. Obviously this is important to me, but if you don't care, it's a great place to stay.”

“Very close to the airport. A tram was located across the street which took you to the airport in about 10 minutes or into town in about 15 minutes. It was located in an industrial area and not centrally located near shops or restaurants. Very nice hotel if you wanted to stay close to the airport.”

  • Luxury Hotel near the Zurich Airport.
  • No nearby shops or restaurants.

“Excellent airport hotel near the Zurich Airport. Very luxurious and comfortable. The hotel is dead center in an industrial office complex. As a result, there are no restaurants or shops nearby. The 11 line tram takes you directly into the center of Zurich in approx. 20 minutes. Would recommend the hotel as a stay over for an early/late flight. Otherwise, it's only 10 minutes by train to the center of town.”

  • The room was very nice.
  • The maid service wasn't that great and the hotel claimed they had no available non-smoking rooms when I arrived so I had to stay in a smoking room.

“The hotel is a nice 4-star hotel, close to the airport and public transportation. Some of the front desk staff were very helpful and polite, others not so much. The maid service was not exceptional - they forgot to provide the complimentary tee and coffee tray. There was parking available at the hotel, but at a cost of 24 CHF per night. Otherwise, the room was very nice and clean.”

“The hotel is conveniently located less than 10 minutes from the airport, in a business district. It takes about 20 minutes to get to downtown Zurich using the tram stop that is in front of the hotel. The pool, hot tub, and fitness area were great. The lobby has a koi pond and is amazingly beautiful. I would definitely stay here again if we were ever back in Zurich.”

  • Although the room was for non smokers, it reeked of cigarette smells on all the linens.

“Nice hotel near the airport. nothing to do there other than catch the plane, no where to walk to, restaurants were expensive, we went to the only near bye restaurant which was reasonable, it was Italian. Other than the room smelling of cigarettes which was intolerable, I would recommend the hotel. the price was right, but had we had to pay the actual price, it was way too pricey for me.”

“The Renaissance is by far the highest class of the Marriott properties. And, the Renaissance Zurich did not fail to impress. The staff is very helpful, even going so far as to help my with my German. The problem is that the leisure traveler will not find anything to do close by and will either have to take a shuttle to the city center (cost not included) or to the airport to the mall (free).”
