Matkat – Ettenkirch

Nice quiet area, plenty of shops and dining options nearby. Travelling on interrail tour, so very handy to have laundry facilities available. Near to railway viaduct but not too noisy and a highlight for 2 young travellers 11, 10.

This hotel is located about 10 minutes away from Old Town Zurich. We took an uber to get here from Zurich HB. We were upgraded to a Junior Suite facing the pool. The pool was having a huge promoted white party, so the bass and DJ were vibrating the room. However, the music was done at 8pm and we didn't hear anything else after that. The king bed was very comfortable. My son used the couch pull out, which we had to call down 2 times for them to bring up bedding because there was no bedding for it and we had to set it all up. The pool area was nice and we used it twice. My son and I tried the buffet breakfast and was highly disappointed for what I paid (80 swiss franks = $100 usd) for cold, mediocre food. I couldn't believe the price, but I had to feed my 9 year old. After that, we just uber eats or did not eat at the hotel because I was not paying that price daily. You definitely paid for what you pay for here.

Spent 1 night here while backpacking Europe. The staff was very friendly and the room was very clean. I would stay here if I needed a place in Zurich again.
