Questions families ask
Can we get two queens, or will we be sharing doubles and sofa beds?
Do not assume a four-person room has two queens. Sheraton, Renaissance and Marriott use two doubles. Limmathof provides four single beds. Acasa, Bristol, Adagio and Radisson Blu Airport rely on a shared sofa bed for the children. At Bristol, confirm the main beds too: descriptions differ between twins and a queen.
Can we add a crib or rollaway to a room for four?
A room sleeping four does not automatically permit an additional crib or rollaway. Acasa offers free baby cots, while several hotels offer free cribs for ages zero to two, subject to room limits. Limmathof offers neither. At Sheraton, Renaissance, Marriott and Bristol, confirm extra-bed permission for the exact room rather than relying on the general hotel policy.
How much more does a room for four cost?
There is no dependable same-night comparison with each hotel's cheapest double, so a standard family-room premium cannot be stated. VISIONAPARTMENTS and Bristol are lower-cost options overall; Storchen sits at the luxury end. At Acasa, confirm that the children's sofa-bed supplements are included. Breakfast and cleaning arrangements also deserve checking before you compare bookings.
Which Zurich neighborhood works best with children sharing one room?
For walking to the Old Town and using trains, look around Hauptbahnhof and Central: Bristol, Limmathof and Adagio are practical choices. Zürich West offers larger rooms at Sheraton and Renaissance, but requires public transport for central sights. Oerlikon suits self-catering at Acasa, with quick trains downtown. Radisson Blu Airport is most useful for flight-related overnight stays.
Which rooms give us enough space once all four beds are in use?
Acasa offers 474 square feet with a separate bedroom and living area, though opening the children's sofa bed uses that living space. Sheraton has 409 square feet with two fixed doubles. Storchen offers roughly 624 square feet, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. VISIONAPARTMENTS has separate bedrooms but only 344 square feet overall, so separation does not mean spaciousness.
