Rex Swiss Quality Hotel - Zurich, Switzerland     

My boyfriend and I stayed at this hotel over the New Year for 9 days. The hotel is situated within walking distance from the Central Station (about 15 minutes) and the famous Bahnhofstraße! Very nice, spacious and clean rooms, great breakfast! We just loved it and we definitely would return to the Rex!!!

We stayed at Hotel Rex for two nights. Since parking is limited at the hotel, we were advised to arrive early. We arrived as guests were checking out and found a free parking spot. Since the room wasn't ready until 2:00 PM, we visited the sites around Zurich and saw almost everything by 4:00 PM. We had dinner at the Crazy Cow which was down the street on Leonard Strasse. Awesome restaurant! Great food. Great atmosphere. Friendly staff. Overall, the hotel was clean and comfortable. We paid 111 Swiss Francs for a double which was a bargain! Hotel is located in a nice neighborhood. The street car (No. 7) runs next to the hotel and was a bit noisy. Noise problem was resolved by closing the window. Breakfast buffet was a typical European buffet with assorted breads, fruit, meats, cheeses, and beverages. Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. Hotel also exchanged Euros to Swiss Francs. We didn't ask if they accepted US Dollars. The Hauptbahnhof has a currency exchange office which had better exchange rates. Great hotel! If we were staying in Zurich, we would definitely stay at Hotel Rex again. After seeing most of the sites in Zurich, you may want to take a side trip to Lucerne. Lucerne was beautiful and only 50 minutes away by train.
