Comfort Inn Royal

This hotel is quite centrally located, only two tram stops or an easy 5 minutes walk from the central railway station. The street in front of the hotel is quite busy (noisy) so ask for a room to the back if you're a light sleeper.

I had booked a standard single room (the larger version) - nice enough for a three nights stay. Modern style, flat screen TV, telephone etc. a large enough bathroom (shower only). Breakfast was very good, even with champagne. The staff was friendly and helpful. Free tea in the lobby, but I didn't like that smoking was allowed in the (small) lobby. There's also an internet station in the lobby, but it cost 5 CHF for 15 min. Go figure.

I had seen a stay 3, pay 2 offer on the website of Zurich Tourism (www.zuerich.com, look for DEALS). I ended up paying 100 CHF per night with that deal instead of 125 CHF per night. Obviously NOT 3=2 if you do the math, but still a very good rate compared to average prices in Zuerich.

Would definitely stay there again.
