The Hotel Olympia is a competent business hotel located in a residential area near Zurich’s center. A family-run business since 1999, the three-star establishment offers reliable, affordable singles, doubles and triples with easy access to a tram stop and a supermarket.

The Hotel Olympia’s 40 guestrooms are basic and clean. The standard motel furniture may not be the most stylish, but it’s well-kept, and the carpeted floors are freshly vacuumed. All rooms are equipped with a fan, mini-fridge, flat-screen TV and telephone.

The private bathrooms are likewise standard, but the toilets and tiled showers are brilliantly white. Bathtubs are available (ask ahead).

What the Olympia lacks in flair it makes up for in competent service. As a family business, the hotel has a friendly, happy feel . Even the sign at reception proudly announces (in German), “Smiling for you today is:” followed by the employee’s name. As a result, the hotel has amassed a cadre of regular guests, whom the staff knows by name.

Note that despite the family feel, the Olympia Hotel is a business-class property. That means that weekends and holidays are the cheapest times to stay—and perks cost extra. Parking is available for an additional charge. Breakfast is sometimes included in the room rate (check when booking).

1.7km to city center

Langstrasse

The Langstrasse, a wide thoroughfare filled with adult theaters and various restaurants, runs north from the district courts, cutting west across the train tracks and ending at Limmatplatz near the water. The Kreis 4 ‘hood is home to the city's Red Light District (southwest of the central train station), but it also happens to be the city's youngest and most dynamic quarter of late.

While the side streets branching from Langstrasse may seem seedy at first, you'll also see young women having a fun night out without a care in the world. Keep your wits about you (like in any city) and you'll be fine among some of the city's most cutting-edge galleries and bars. From the Langstrasse, the Bahnhofstrasse shopping district is about a 15-minute walk east, and Old Town is just a bit further, over the Limmat River.
