Switzerland is perhaps the most expensive European country. Going here on holidays, especially the whole family, all tourists try to find such accommodation options so that it turns out to be the most fiscal. And Zurich in this row is no exception. Hotels of all sorts of networks and individual hotels here are a great set. Let's try to figure it out in the price palette and save.
1. "Novotel Zurich City-West" (Schiffbaustraße 13, Business School district - Escher-Wüss). Despite the fact that this hotel belongs to one of the fashionable French chains of hotels, surprisingly this representative in terms of prices for rooms is available for accommodation. Especially on the standards of mediterranean prices for accommodation in four-star hotels. Apparently, one of the reasons lies in the fact that this Novotel is not located in the central part of the city, but in the area of the so-called business quarters of Zurich. At the same time, from here to the Central Railway Station you can walk in just 20 minutes, and from there all major walking tourist routes are already beginning. Multi-storey hotel, but for whatever of its floors you have booked a room, the view from the windows will be on the neighboring buildings of business centers. The advantages of numbers include a pleasant design, all the necessary equipment (up to the individual Nespresso coffee maker and tea or coffee making facilities). Internet access in wireless mode is free. The rooms of the representative level have a minibar filled with not cheap drinks and famous Swiss chocolate. The hotel has its own small pool. And in the local "Novotel Café" you can spend the evening, tasting national cuisine. Breakfast is also served in this restaurant, but quite expensive - about 1,500 rubles. If such a kind of food is not affordable to you, then, unfortunately, near the hotel of other venues like a cafe or restaurant, as well as supermarkets selling products, no. We will have to go towards the railway station, where such institutions work around the clock. If you are traveling with children, you can take their game in a small equipped children's corner on the first floor of the hotel. The cost of rooms in the hotel starts from 3500 rubles a day. But this, subject to advance prior booking (with instant removal of funds from the card) or within the framework of the share of the hotel's network (which are held, as a rule, twice a year: in spring and autumn). Children under 16 live in rooms with parents for free. Be sure to take into account such an unpleasant moment. In many hotels in Zurich and in this "Novotel" in particular, in the settlement, you will be asked to provide a deposit as a guarantee for accommodation without prejudice to the number, which is obliged to return when discharge from the hotel. The amount of this deposit is considerable - about 300 euros in local currency - Swiss francs. If you did not calculate this necessity, it can be a blow to your funds provided for pocket spending during your stay in Zurich. Therefore, it is better to prudently take a credit card with a long interest-free period of use.But the refund of blocked funds on the map is made within 30 days after departure from the hotel, and not instantly (what will the personnel at the reception be confident). If you make a cash deposit, then it will return it immediately at the time of Check-out, but in Swiss francs. The latter are unlikely to be needed further, provided that your holiday in Switzerland has already ended. And their exchange back to the euro again will bring additional extra expenses. Check in the hotel - from 14 o'clock. Departure - up to 12 hours.
2. Hotel "Ibis Zurich-Adliswil" (Zürichstrasse 105, 02, Volynshofen-Enge). This hotel, a representative of another French hotel chain IBIS, has only two stars, but it is definitely suitable for budget tourists or those traveling in Switzerland on a rented car. To the center of Zurich, from here 10 minutes by public transport, the stop of which next to the hotel. It is located literally on the roadway A3. Around a fairly pleasant green zone and a feeling of complete privacy. The rooms fully correspond to the star of the hotel and are quite modest, both in design and equipment. But in each of them there is a TV (without Russian TV channels), a work desk and a bathroom in which a small shower is installed. The area is only 16 square meters. Password access to free Wi-Fi will be issued to your reception at the reception. If necessary, you can use the services of a small tour desk, which is in the lobby of this hotel. Prices, of course, are high, but among the options there are also offers with Russian-speaking guides. The room rate at this hotel begins from three thousand rubles. Children under 12 live for free. If the baby travels under the age of two travels, refer to the reception and you will put a special baby cot. For a surcharge, you can stay in the rooms of this hotel with pets. Check in the hotel - from 14 o'clock. Departure - up to 12 hours.
3. Perhaps the most budget accommodation for tourists in Zurich is the famous Swiss Guesthouse. In essence, they are apartments that are rented for a certain period of time in one of the accommodation houses of the city. I can recommend to accommodate the Guesthouse "Dienerstrasse" (Dienerstrasse 20, 04. Aussersil). These apartments are within walking distance from the city's central railway station, next to Gelving. A special object of pride in the rooms of this guest house is considered a large selection of TV channels on the TV. They are more than 300 here. Otherwise, you will find a standard set of necessary equipment necessary for a comfortable stay. All rooms have free Wi-Fi access. The area of each room is 18 square meters. Bathroom with an individual shower in each room. There is an accommodation option in two bedroom apartments, a total area of 24 square meters. Each of the bedrooms is installed on one large double bed. The room is designed in this way on four people. Please note that there are no parking lots of this guest house. The cost of accommodation in double apartments begins from 2500 rubles. The quadruple room will cost - from 3500 rubles. For the rules of the guest house, only one child under the age of the year can accommodate in the room. Check in apartments - from 14 o'clock. Departure - up to 11 hours.
