8/10 Good
"The hotel was good, clean, well maintained and the staff were very helpful. Ideally located with the tram stops of Letzigrund and Albisriederplatz only a short walk away with the Migros convenience store also handily nearby. We opted for the breakfast buffet which was excellent and the hotel also has a restaurant which after we got over the shock of the prices in Zurich, became our go to for dinner with a good menu and attentive staff who looked after us very well. We did have a problem with the toilet in our room which kept running after it had been flushed but after reporting it to reception it was promptly fixed and wasn't really a huge problem. Upon check-in, the front desk deducted a 50 CHF security fee per night which I was refunded when checking out and it might be worthwhile to bear that in mind if you are travelling on a budget. Overall the Crowne Plaza is an excellent hotel, in a quiet area of Zurich and I would have no hesitation in staying there again."

"I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this central, quirky and friendly hotel. It is a relatively short walk from the rail station and, likewise, from the central tourist zones. Given the fact that Zurich is an expensive city, the hotel was good value. The breakfast was perfectly adequate - the drinks were excellent, the food fresh and tasty."

10/10 Excellent
"After traveling in Switzerland for 14 days, I opt for a hotel that was near the train station. A 5 minute walk with suitcase was what made me book this hotel and what a relief that was. With four persons in my party and four suitcases it was difficult to book an Uber, so I’m so glad that this hotel was nearby. I would definitely book here if I am staying in Zürich again."
