Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Reviews summary
This summary was created by AI, based on recent reviews.
Powered by AI
Nestled in the heart of the city, Citizenm Zürich garners acclaim for its impeccably clean and functional rooms, complemented by a host of modern amenities including 24/7 water access. Guests frequently commend the hotel's efficient and friendly service, with a nod to the convenience of self check-in. Although the rooms are cozy and tech-forward, featuring comfortable beds and iPads for room control, some visitors note their compact nature and the bathrooms' limited privacy.
The hotel's location is consistently praised, with easy access to the old town and public transport, despite a few mentions of missing conveniences like in-room coffee and a fitness center. The overall atmosphere is described as a blend of modernity and quirkiness, creating a unique space that suits both business and leisure.

Detailed Reviews
The position of this hotel is really great - 10 mins from the city centre. The rooms are little but extremely comfortable: they offer everything you need to feel good.
Design and colours are substantial part of the interior, so it’s easy to appreciate the place, but the staff is what made us fall in love! They are all young, polite, nice, kind and really accommodating: they act like friends. We’re italian and we really appreciate socialising, specially during a pandemic that made everybody more lonely.
Plus: the breakfast is so yummy and rooms are clean, you can enjoy chromotherapy in the shower and watch a lot of tv shows. Zero doubts: when this summer we’ll be back in Zurich, we’ll choose CitizenM!!!

Hello Francesco, Thank you for the review and taking the time to share your experience. I am so glad that there were several aspects which made your stay great! The ambassadors love to get to know our guests like you and really enjoy chatting with our guests and sharing stories, while at the same time being available to assist and make the stay more comfortable if needed. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon in the summer! Zurich in the summer is personally my favourite season. There is so much to do in the city and it feels like a holiday! When you come back next time, don't forget to ask the ambassadors for all the tips on the best places to visit. We'll see you then :) Until the next time, safe travels, citizen Daisy

One of the most seamless check in experiences ever. So fast and so efficient very well done.
Rooms have all the amenities that is required even a very comfortable bed, it’s really a trade off between great location friendly staff and paying for a room that is to be honest tiny. It was a trade off that was worth as we were staying only for a night.
Good social areas below to lounge and chill. Would definitely recommend.

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
Awesome styling, great staff and perfect location for the shopping, station and stroll to the lake. The room is a great design, techie and super comfy. Just loved the quirky areas of the listed buildings that had been kept and added to with a modern twist. My wife made the booking, and I think it’s the the most impressive city hotel I have overnighted in. Love the external shutter that completely black the room out, and block any noise form entering via the windows. Great touch with the TV and film channels.

What a disappointment this hotel was...
Starting with the one good point, location is great and very central for a long weekend in Zurich
The rooms are small and with a very odd choice, the large bed is set against the window on one side so only one person can get out. This is very unpractical during the night if you need to go to the loo and climb over your partner.
The Covid 19 breakfast is a joke. You get one croissant and a piece of bread. And the buffet is the cheapest I’ve seen in any hotel (see photos). There is really no excuse for being that cheap (I’ve stayed in other Swiss hotels over the summer and even reduced services was much better).
And to make is worse, there is a club next door, it gets so loud that we had to ask to change room, the very very loud bass vibrations can be heard and felt until about midnight. Now I understand this isn’t the hotel’s fault. If you go out, the music can be heard in the whole neighbourhood, but this is very unpleasant.
On the good side, The personnel is very friendly and helpful.
Overall this place is all show ( iPads in the rooms to operate everything, from lights to tv to blinds) with no substance. I would not recommend.

Response from Daisy Ratcliffe, Other at Citizenm Zürich
Responded 8 Sept 2020
Hello, Thank you for taking the time to share your recent experience in citizenM Zurich. I am glad to see that you enjoyed the central location of the hotel and the staff were able to assist you to make your stay more comfortable. I am, however, sorry that there were several aspects which did not meet your expectations. I understand that we are a little bit different from more of the traditional style hotels and our concept is not everyone's cup of tea. citizenM is designed for the modern day traveller looking for luxury at an affordable price. The design of the room has been carefully thought out to ensure our guests have everything they need for a great night of sleep which is why each room is equipped with the luxury's of an XL king-size bed, a large rain head shower, fluffy white towels and a vast array of free movies to watch at the touch of a button. As our beds are square, if you do choose to stay with us again, I recommend moving the pillows the other way if you do not wish to climb over your partner in the night. Feel free to ask one of the ambassadors who will gladly assist you if needed :) I would like to add that we see feedback as a gift and take our guests feedback, like yours, into serious consideration when designing our new, up and coming, hotels across the world in order to suit the modern day taveller. Thank you for your feedback on the breakfast and I am sorry it seems you did not see value in it. We are constantly reviewing our offering to ensure it meets the safety of our guests, which is our top priority, especially during this pandemic. As well as this, we want to still provide an offering that meets our promise of being affordable. If there was anything else you would have liked to see in the breakfast, please free to let us know as we are listening! We hope you still managed to enjoy multiple refills of the freshly made coffee, all within the price. I am deeply sorry that you were disturbed from the music heard close by to the hotel. Towards the end of the week and at weekends, Zurich certainly can become a great city to party in. Due to the central location, it is true that sometimes the music can be heard. I am so glad you were able to let the team know at the time and were able to move to a quieter area within the hotel. I hope that you still managed to enjoy your visit to Zurich despite these things and if you choose to stay with us again, we welcome you back with open arms! Until then, I wish you safe travels, All the best, citizen Daisy

All Staff where very helpful, check in and out was easy and the room was spotless with plenty of towels and I choose the option not to have my bed made or replenish the towels as to save on the environment and the king bed was very comfortable.
I didn't eat breakfast even though I considered it, but for me personally on the expensive side for what you get as I have lived and worked in Zurich.
Would stay again and the room was very well insulated from outside noise or rooms above

I booked this hotel for two reasons. Firstly, it is the only affordable four-star smack in the centre of Zurich and secondly it shows what (perhaps) future hotels will look like.
The rooms are small but functional. Slippers were duly missed given the fact that the toilet is next to the shower which means the floor in front of the toilet is due to get wet. Given these ultra-hygienic times that we’re living in, it was a luxury duly missed though I do understand the sustainability issue.
Breakfast was good although the eggs are clearly artificial (aka from a box) and no fresh boiled ones were provided.
The personnel was very helpful and proficient in English (which helped as my German was rusty). An agreement with the nearby garage for a reduction to park your car would be useful. I was told by the personnel this was not possible as it is a different company. Other hotels had managed so this took me by surprise.
All in all not bad but some minor points to be improved.

Located near the main streets of Zurich, the CitizenM is a great value hotel. The rooms are fine if a little small, but very comfortable and functional. Check in was simple via computer screens in reception. Extremely clean. Very hi-tech !
Quirky and very modern in nature..this make the hotel more appealing. Access to lights, tv, blinds etc is via an ipad and makes life so easy that you can do everything without leaving your bed (which was really comfortable).
Only 2 little negatives.... the breakfast was set up for covid-19 and everything was pre-packed ...not a problem but there could have been more selection in what they offered. Salmon every day, but only a little pepperami as a cold meat. Some other cuts could have been offered and would have been welcomed. Secondly, the noise form the Keufleutren nightclub next door on the Saturday night was annoying, but only till around 12.30am when it stopped.
All in all...a great hotel at a great price ! Next time I'm back in Zuri, Ill definitely check in to the CitizenM.

It would be much quicker to take a train from the airport to Zurich Main station. Then you can take a tram from Hauptbahnhof (main station) to the hotel.
You can download the SBB app and it will give you all the options.
No, it did not, I got a train from the airport to Zurich HB (centre) and then walked - it's not very far, maybe 10 minutes through the centre of Zurich.
WE did not ask for so I am unable to confirm if such offer is available
