Hello!
Our daughter currently is in graduate school in the University of Konstanz in Germany. We will be visiting later this month, flying into Zurich. On our way out, we'd like to stay a few nights in Zurich. If anyone can recommend a good B&B or Hotel either near the airport or within walking distance to train/tram lines to the airport and downtown, we'd really appreciate it! We are budget travelers.
Danke!
Hi. There are 3 Accor hotels just west (maybe a mile?) of town center, right on the tram line. We stayed there a few years ago and it worked well. IBIS Budget Zurich City West and 'regular' IBIS Zurich City West, along with the nicer Novotel. If you haven't stayed in an IBIS Budget before, note that it's OK but very basic. The 'regular' IBIS are 'normal' hotel rooms. Have a great trip!
I recently stayed at the Dorint Airport Hotel Zürich . About 5 minutes from the airport with a free shuttle. It was fine and worked great for my purposes in transit. I’m not sure I would base myself there for sight seeing.
Honestly, I would spend time in Luzern over Zurich any day.
Another vote for staying in Lucerne!
Depends on when your flight leaves for the U.S. We fly AAL and our flight is always mid-morning, so we stay in the Ibis Budget Zurich Airport, located in Glattbrug. It's about 50 meters from the tram station, and then 2 stops to the ZRH terminal. In 2023 it was CHF 141 for two of us, really cheap for Switzerland.
If your flight isn't too early, I agree, Lucerne would be much better.
What is your price range?
