Better than expected. Very convenient location.
The hotel is right next to a tram stop. Tram 10 goes to the main train station and the airport. Tram 6 can take you from the train station to the hotel. Very quiet late at night. Up a hill from the train station so the trams are nice. We went straight to the airport on the tram which saved money and saved a taxi or trip to the main train station. Room was clean. Breakfast was ok and satisfying. Overall I would definitely go back and recommend it.

Best hotel in Zurich!
Amazing! We love Zurich, we LOVE Comfort Inn Royal Zurich, we've stayed at this hotel 5 times in the last 15 years. They have upgraded all the rooms, the beds are fabulous, clean clean clean!!!! beautiful bathrooms, the breakfast is outstanding, friendly accommodating staff, we would highly recommend it. The location is superb, we love jumping on and off the tram right at the front door, close to the Hauptbanhof, easy to get to the Flughafen, great place!

it would be great if the hotel can advise guest to take tram no 6 or 10 from the main train station which stop in front of the hotel which less walking distance and climbing the long steep staircase.

Convenient to town centre and to the airport.
The #10 tram runs directly from the airport past the hotel and is less than 7 Swiss Francs--much cheaper than the 60 francs paid (including tip) for a taxi fare when we arrived. The hotel is walking distance to town. The room was small but the bed comfortable.

Looked great on paper
The hotel looked quite good on paper. And we paid $160 for the night -it is a lot but Zurich is insanely expensive with the current overvalued Swiss Franc. Great location (walking distance of most Zurich highlights), large room (for European standards), probably all you can need in the room. We underestimated how important a 24-hour reception is in the Alps, so this is good. Front desk people are quite friendly (a rarity in this area) and do the best they can. 5 min walk from Zurich main train station (which also means 20 min from the airport). But some other aspects failed in critical ways: - the bed gave us no rest, - they had to spend 25 minutes looking for our reservation (and resort to our phone), - the internet was so poor that the connection would fail constantly (we were right on top of the lobby area/wifi router, - so others may experience worse situations ... we did not complain because it was free wifi); - Rooms numbered X11 to X15 may experience difficulties in sleeping at night (the entrance buzzes when a guest comes into the hotel at night... we are quite insensitive to noise and we were quite tired after hiking that day but this was really disruptive); - We jumped into the 18-euro breakfast half an hour before closing (9:30am on a Sunday) and they have literally ran out of everything, with nothing more than some sad fruits, no bread left, and a mini omelette no larger than the diameter of a pepsi can.

Conveneint Hotel With Easy Access Taking Tram
There is tram service from the city/train station directly to the doorstep of the hotel which is very conveneint to go anywhere nearby. Also, the tram no. 10 goes directly to the airport within 35 minutes and there is no need for you to carry the luggage to take the train which is quite a distance and slopy road to the main train station.

Great Service
Great place to stay in Zurich! Walking distance from everything you want to see. Gentleman named George went above and beyond when I had any requests or inquiries. The only thing to be aware of is that if you plan to go out, be prepared to awake to a giant bell that feels like it is just outside your window in the morning. For the price, service, and location you'd be lucky to find something better.

Still looking for the right one in ZRH
The location is ok if you want to be not too far from the station and the room is ok, however, reminds me a bit of a youth hostel. To iron my shirt I was sent into the basement where the sleeves were hanging onto a concrete floor. ... not what I'd expect. Haven't found the right hotel yet in ZRH and am still looking. Would I return? Unlikely.

Staff were most helpful which allowed us to launch into discovering Zurich with the limited time we had. The tram at the door is a very cost effective & convenient way to the airport.

Central and Convenient Location
I selected this hotel based on: price, elevator, A/C, and proximity to Zurich HB (Central Station). Although it's close to the Central Station, it's up a rather steep hill. However, guests can board the #10 tram at Central Station and ride just 2 stops, where it stops right in front of the hotel. Because it stops right in front of the hotel, the #10 tram is a great option for getting to and from the airport. Although it takes longer than the airport train to Central Station, it's much more convenient but still the same price. The hotel is within walking distance of shopping, restaurants and popular attractions, and the proximity to Central Station is convenient for catching trains to other parts of Switzerland.

Comfort-able
Good location, and reasonably inexpensive compared to other accommodation. I was tired so needed a good sleep... just a shame the décor was more tired. Hotel could do with some investment to drag it out of the 1970s/1980s.

Bad treatment at Comfort Hotel
We found the plumbing in the bathroom had a terrible smell. When we made management aware of this they shifted us to the only room they had left 205 bottom floor, no bath, no view. The next morning on check out they told us as the room was prepaid we could have no reduction in price. This was clearly not a fair treatment as the room 205 was clean but not the value paid. Not good Comfort Hotel and not honest either!!!!!

Hotel was very close to Zurich mail rail station and all the action in central city. We decided to walk from teh station with our bags, fortunately wheelies, but the short climb was challenging. Good job we were fit, having hiking thru the country for 3 weeks.

Comfort Inn Royal Zurich
The staff were very nice and helpful. There is a tram right across the street so you can move around easily. Very close to old town center and the main train station. Room is small for a single but that's Europe. Very clean and comfortable. There is street construction and a little noisy but its only temporary. There is no food in the hotel but restaurants are close so it was not a problem for me. Good value. I will return!
