    Well located hotel”

    Good location, reasonable price, clean and comfortable

    hotel rex is well located - from the main railway station and city centre - hauptbanhof and banhofstrasse - approx. 6 minutes by tram 7. going to town one can walk downhill and reach the center in 10-15 minutes. the hotel is not new, but it is in general good condition. rooms are fine, however the noise insulation is not too good. if you are sensitive to noises ask for a room not facing the road where the tram is circulating from early morning to late evening. the windows are double-glazed, so if you don't opened them the outside noise is reduced, however the noises from other rooms could be heard (mainly from bathrooms). the bathroom, beds and linen are are good. the rooms are very clean and well serviced on daily basis. the breakfast is outstanding.

    Great location with great views”

    Excellent breakfasts, great views, efficient staff, good location close to the city and lake.
    Two single beds making a double that wanted to pull apart.

    The Rex Hotel is a modern, well appointed hotel with comfortable rooms and clean fresh bathrooms. The views from the room we stayed in was excellent. The Rex's proximity to the city is very handy, we preferred to walk the 15-20 minute walk rather than catch the trams that stop close to the hotel. The hotel's breakfast was very nice and the staff member looking after the restaurant was very courteous. Zurich was a great place for a short visit with a very clean well organized and historical feel.

    The hotel is located on an uphill but it is an easy walk. Conveniently located with access to tram to Central and other part of Zurich. I book a room with balcony. The room was big with large balcony that you can sit and enjoy the view. Plenty of coffee capsule and tea bags. The toilettries was very good, gorgeous scent and quality. Breakfast was standard fare, nothing exciting. Overall good little hotel.

    The hotel is located very close to the city centre, you can either take the tram or walk (about 20 mins). Rooms are standard size and clean. Pillows are a little soft and there is no air conditioning but that is standard here in the swiss hotels. Reception is friendly and will help with any queries that you have. There is also a convenience store near the tram stop.

    The hotel is close to the railway station actually, and is easy to go there by tram. However, the hotel didn't give clear guidence on the most convenience way for arriving there, and we spent some time to locate it. Other than that, hotel is good, staff is nice and the breakfast is must better than expectation. Suggest to stay in this hotel!!

    Booked two rooms but only one had an A/C and later was told it was complimentary. The staff was nice. The lady on front desk "Shahad" was extremely nice and helpful and got me an extra fan. No microwave in the room and there was barely any room in the super mini fridge to store anything I got from outside to eat. For the amount I paid, it wasn't worth it.

    Zentrale Lage, gutes Frühstück”

    Gutes Frühstück, zentrale Lage, saubere Zimmer, freundliches Personal. Das Badezimmer war allerdings sehr klein, und die Matratze durchgelegen. Für einen Kurzaufenthalt aber absolut ok.
