“Hotel Limmathof's prime asset is its location, a true advantage for exploring Zurich, especially with the main train station and pedestrian-friendly Limmathof street nearby. While the basic amenities reflect its two-star status, the clean, quiet rooms and helpful staff, particularly at breakfast, create a solid base for city exploration. In my opinion, it's a practical choice when prioritizing location and budget in a city known for its high prices.”
