Swissotel - Zurich
We thought this 4* star hotel was more of a 2/3* quality, the only thing good about the hotel was the reception and the room service. The hotel boasts a gym which was more like a small room with a couple of exercise machines, a fairly decent swimming pool with a great view but that's about it! The hotel room was very basic & old fashioned in 1980's style. There is nothing to do in this location, although the tram line is just opposite the hotel so if you want a quick look around the shops it only takes 5-10 mins or so and your in the centre, not much do to, not a pretty location, we won't be rushing back!

Comfortable Delight
Swissotel is a comfortable and pleasant hotel, which would appeal more to the business oriented traveller than the family. The pickup service picks you up directly from the airport. Just next door to a metro/train station, it is easily approachable from any destination. The rooms on the upper floors, where I had a chance of staying, provided a pleasant view of the urban Zurich. Next door is a small market which is also worth a browse. All in all I would recommend this hotel.
