This is a hotel in central downtown Zurich, ten minutes from the main train station and most of the major attractions in Zurich. It doesn't have a bar or restaurant (except in the morning), and the bathrooms and showers are shared among everyone on a floor. I have stayed here four times and the rooms are always basic, functional, and... More

Everything in Zurich is quite expensive. This place was cheap. I stayed there twice at the beginning and the end of my trip to Switzerland. The location was very good, 5 minutes walk from the train station, other sights, and shopping area. 10-15 minutes walk to the lake. Only few minutes walk from the bars and nightclubs. There were restaurants... More

There should be some regulations about offering such poor and dirty accommodations. I have stayed in farmhouses and B&B's throughout Europe that were pleasant, simple and clean. Offering the cheapest hotel in Zurich sounds good but to have something this disgusting to offer should be criminal.

This was quite a disgusting place to stay. I am not difficult, but really, this was NOT cool. When we got into our room, we each sat on our beds, one of them was fine, and my boyfriend immediately caved into his; the foundation was missing 2 wooden bars and 3 others were broken. The windows were wide opened when... More

I agree with the review below about Hostel Krone. Staff not helpful but very absent-minded, also making you pay before you even see your room is a sign that they don't trust the quality or appearance of their own place. Cleanliness alright, location quite good, but I also agree that it costs too much for what you get. Zurich costs... More

I am generally not someone complaining about an hotel, but this hotel was really terrible. I've read the comment here before going there and wasn't sure what to think, but now I agree with almost everyone here. The girl at the front desk was thinking of a lot of things when she served us, but specially not to help us.... More

We booked this room through RCI travel and mistakenly believed that it was the 5 star Krone hotel located nearby. There are two hotels with the same name, but they are not in any way related and are very different in terms of quality. We were shocked to find that the showers were on a different floor and we had... More

I stayed here when I was in Zurich traveling alone for 2 days. The hotel is not the cleanest place. It's simple. The location is the reason I stayed there. It is not off the beaten path and instead is on the main street, right on the river. I probably wouldn't stay here again.

This hotel has only two advantages: good location and price. thats all! Our room was very dirty and smelled strange. There were hairs and dust in the bed... Toilet and shower are on the floor and not really clean as well. Furniture is old and broken.
