Fred Hotel Central

Star ratings are based on Klook's overview of the property's information (such as services and facilities included, etc.), and are for reference only

Is a short walk from train station but be prepared that it is up a hill (if going to Zurich again I’d possibly go to the Fred hotel right by the station due to this). Room itself was lovely but note if you want housekeeping there is an extra charge. Check in etc is all digital and felt cool to use an app to open doors etc.

Great location, 5 min walk to old town

The room was comfortable and situated in close proximity to the train station, providing convenient access for guests. The hotel offered a mobile application that we used, which proved to be highly practical as it simplified check-in and allowed us to control both the main entrance and room doors.

My stay at Fred Hotel was good , everything went smoothly and I had no issues. I didn’t have much direct contact with the staff, but everything was well organized and comfortable, so there was no need. Overall, a pleasant and hassle-free experience.

Very clean and conveniently located

I recently stayed at Fred Hotel in Zurich, and while the room was a decent size and the location convenient, the negatives far outweighed the positives. The self check-in, advertised as simple, was frustrating as the lockers never worked. On arrival, the bathroom trash can was already full, and since no staff were available, it stayed that way. Housekeeping was not included unless paid for separately, which was never mentioned during booking. Cleanliness was poor overall: the bath mat had a visible footprint, the bathroom ventilator couldn’t be turned off, the sink drained slowly, and the room smelled unpleasantly like a hospital. The pillows were paper-thin, and the towels and bath towels were old, thin, and fraying. Noise was another major problem. Trams ran right outside the window until 1 a.m., and with a poorly sealed balcony door, soundproofing was virtually nonexistent. On top of this, there was no phone in the room, meaning I had to physically go to the front desk for any assistance. Most concerning of all, my personal data appears to have been compromised. I received WhatsApp phishing messages that included details of my stay — something that has never happened in over ten years of using Expedia. When I raised this, the hotel’s only response was to advise me not to interact with the scammer, without apology or acknowledgment. Overall, despite its size and location, Fred Hotel failed in cleanliness, comfort, service, and security. I cannot recommend it.

Convenient and close to everything. The room itself had clean sheets and linens but the carpet was filthy. ! Could not walk around without shoes or slippers. Recomend trashing the carpet and really cleaning the floors.

Room is clean and good size. Area around is also safe and close to public transportations. Lots of places to eat around and walkable distance to train station and also popular attractions. Staff is very responsive via chat!

i had a great stay!

Great value for your money but a bit hard to get to / walk around from given the huge hill that it’s on, especially with luggage. So plan ahead for that part but otherwise we really enjoyed!
