Krone Zurich | Pop Up Hotel

Krone is a budget-focused pop-up hotel and hostel-style accommodation on Limmatquai in Zurich’s Old Town. Its setting places guests close to the city centre and within an approximately seven-minute walk of the main railway station, making it practical for short breaks, rail arrivals and independent city stays.

The property has 28 rooms with a straightforward character that combines elements of an older building with simple modern furnishings. Every room includes a washbasin. Most rooms use shared showers and toilets located along the corridor, while a small number provide a private bathroom. The arrangement suits guests who value a central base and uncomplicated facilities over full-service hotel amenities.

Krone has an informal, youthful and independently run feel rather than the standardised atmosphere of a large chain. The accommodation is intended for travellers from different backgrounds, including visitors looking for a smaller place to stay in the Old Town. Its pop-up format adds to the temporary, flexible character of the property.

A shared lounge gives guests space beyond their rooms and includes a refrigerator, microwave, kettle, crockery and cutlery. These facilities support basic storage, reheating and drink preparation, which can be useful for guests who prefer a little independence during a stay. The lounge also provides a communal area within the accommodation.

The property is primarily a place to stay rather than a dining destination, so its appeal lies in location, room choice and a relaxed approach to accommodation. It can work well for solo travellers, couples and small groups who are comfortable with shared facilities, as well as for visitors who want easy access to the Old Town and the main station. Guests seeking a private bathroom can select one of the rooms that includes this feature, subject to availability.

Krone’s rooms, shared areas and practical amenities create a simple base for exploring the city. The accommodation is best suited to travellers who prioritise a central address, independent travel and a personal scale over extensive hotel services.
