Another hotel in a similar distance to the venue is http://www.budgethostel.ch/location.htm (Detected by looking at booking.com using the map there, and searching for "ETH Hönggerberg, Zürich, Switzerland" as destination.) Seems there's also https://www.booking.com/hotel/ch/casa-kunz-reyes-zurich.en-gb.html nearby. OTOH it might be nice to stay in the city center and use the public transport connection to the ETH campus. http://www.easyhotel.com/hotels/switzerland/zuerich/ would be quite cheap, Salvatore also pointed to http://www.ibis.com/gb/hotel-2942-ibis-zurich-city-west/index.shtml (and there's also http://www.ibis.com/gb/hotel-3184-ibis-budget-zurich-city-west/index.shtml). Oh, Axel already mentioned them above! booking.com has other things for "Zürich" and restricted to "Hostel" or to -100 EUR for a double room or to "Aparments"; random picks: https://www.booking.com/hotel/ch/olympiahotelzurich.en-gb.html https://www.booking.com/hotel/ch/otter.en-gb.html https://www.booking.com/hotel/ch/gasthaus-210.en-gb.html But then I'm not sure where the nice parts of Zuerich are :) As Axel already wrote, the stop "Zürich, ETH Hönggerberg" is well connected with buses/trains; some random checks on http://www.stadt-zuerich.ch/vbz/en/index/timetables/online_timetable.html show 20-30 minutes to the campus from places that look central-ish to me as a foreigner. Ok, so far for my thoughts and findings. What do others think? What can locals recommend as a nice neighbourhood with a good connection to the venue? Cheers, gregor -- .''`.
