I heard Hotel du Theatre was tiny and quite entertaining, close to the Station - originally a theatre with (2?) rooms but the theatre now an arts cinema.

There's no such thing as a cheap hotel in Zurich. Last year I stayed at the Alexander Guest House (although they gave me a room in the main hotel).
They are cheaper in the airport area, such as Ibis.

snowball,
I thought it was closer than that, but to us country boys that is a short walk

I think there's a Best Western not too far a walk away... I've stayed and it was OK
Can't think of anywhere cheap closer though.

I use this one a lot. 5min very easy walk from the Station. Just off the "Bahhofstrasse"
Reasonably cheap for the location, very clean everything you need. Across the street you can eat cheap in the Micros (Supermarket) restaurant.

Its much close to the station than the Mercure suggested above which you would need a taxi or transport to ge to

We stay at the Saint Gotthard, which is on Bahnhofstrasse, about 50 metres from the station. Not that cheap, but it is possible to find reasonable deals online.

stanton, It seems to work out at €220 for me and the wife....I assume that's the going rate for Zurich.
ulmerhutte, I suppose the extra few quid is worth for the convenience of not having to lag bags, boots & skis miles back to the Haupbahnhof.

there's a train station at the airport, that goes into Zurich before off whereever, so an airport hotel, and most have shuttles back to airport which is right beside station, might be best bet, guess it depends if you want an evening in town or not

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

I stayed at one called Hotel Marta. It's about 5-10 min walk to the station & was really cheap for the area. Small, but nice clean rooms & breakfast included

Yeah, we travel with the whole kit because we spend a month in St Anton, so walking long distances is not that appealing. What's more, the footpaths are often quite slippery; the thought of a yard sale in Bahnhofstrasse is also none too appealing.

You know it makes sense.

No, try Walhalla Hotel, for example, which I got from Tripadvisor, and is much cheaper (if that is the room price, which is what I think it is). Or click on the map and try others.
Actual stanton's hotel shows the price for the room, too (it says so), so is much less than you say.
What date will this be?

snowball, Checking in Feb 13th and checking out Feb 14th (who says Irishmen aren't romantic eh?)
stanton, Heading back to the Rundeck for 10 days, but Klaus can't take us on the Wednesday night....I might try and get somewhere to stay locally for the night, I'll dump the bulk of the gear with him when we arrive and just come back to him in the morning for check-in...ever get a transfer from Zurich?? (crazy money I presume??)

Stayed at the Walhalla twice this year. It's right next to the main station (other side of Bahnhofstrasse). It has two buildings: the main hotel (CHF250/night incl breakfast) and the cheaper/more basic guesthouse which is less than 50m from the hotel (about CHF180/night incl breakfast served at the hotel). Note that the rooms at the guesthouse have a frosted glass prefab shower/toilet unit....so not much privacy there if that bothers you.
