Top Urania Observatory Hotel Reviews

Hotel Scheuble

10/10 Excellent

"A lovely property in old town Zurich. It's close to the tram and about a 9 minute walk to the central train station. The room was very comfortable and restful. As noted in the hotel information, the hvac is centralized. We opened the window as it was slightly stuffy in the room and that worked well. The area is quiet and we enjoyed our one night stay. Staff was very helpful and friendly."

Novotel Zurich City West
