Getting There
We walked from Zurich Train Station to the hotel, which was very convenient and allowed us to enjoy the charming streets of the Old Town.
On departure day, we booked a taxi to the airport via the hotel reception. It was extremely helpful for luggage and timing, though we realized it was pricey — next time, we might book an Uber instead.
Location & Convenience
The hotel is in a prime Old Town location, within easy walking distance to:
- Shops, cafés, and restaurants
- Public transport options
- A convenience store diagonal from the entrance, perfect for bottled water or last-minute items
Our Room & Views
We booked a double room with a king-size bed. Rooms are on the smaller side, but:
- Clean, comfortable, and well-equipped
- Modern bathroom and toilet
- Simple yet cozy layout
The lobby is small but welcoming, and the hotel has a friendly, attentive staff.
Breakfast
Breakfast was included and very good, with a simple setup. A friendly Filipina staff member made our mornings extra pleasant — it was fun connecting with someone from the Philippines while enjoying fresh pastries, bread, cheeses, eggs, and fruits.
Things We Did Around the Area
Zurich’s Old Town is full of small restaurants, shops, and cozy streets to wander around.
During our stay, we enjoyed some really good meals at nearby restaurants. One of our favorites was a delicious pizza dinner, and we also tried a traditional Swiss cheese fondue — warm, creamy melted cheese served with bread for dipping. It’s one of those classic Swiss experiences you have to try at least once while in Switzerland.
We also spent time browsing local shops and souvenir stores around the Old Town. It was a fun way to slow down before heading home, and we picked up a few small souvenirs to remember our Switzerland trip.
Overall Impression
Boutique Hotel Wellenberg is a cozy, well-located hotel perfect for exploring Zurich Old Town. While the rooms aren’t extravagant, the location, cleanliness, friendly staff, and convenience made it a great choice for our last Switzerland stop.
Pro tip: Book airport transfers in advance, but consider Uber for a more cost-effective option.
